All told, launch, flight, landing, and retrieval mean about 3 hours of fun for a hot air balloon ride experience. The flight will last approximately 1 hour. But first, you’ll meet the crew at the balloon launch site at our nearby Philly location in Bucks County, PA (only about 15 minutes from downtown Philadelphia), where you can volunteer to help them prepare the balloon for launch. Be sure to bring your camera to take shots of the beautiful Delaware area underfoot.
