Amazing And Entertaining Ballooning Festivals

By Alta Alexander


If you are looking for a ballooning adventure, Winter Park, CO is a must visit place. Colorado is known for its balloon festivals and events and there are so many tourists coming here annually. They all want to see the colorful splash of a number of balloons across the skies.

There is a club for balloon operators and they keep the flight safe. Colorado ballooning is really entertaining as well. You can eat your breakfast while high up above the clouds or toast your champagne. They also play real good music there which makes your experience even more relaxing. The balloon is complete with safety gears as well.

The best time to fly is during sunrise because winds are most stable during that time of the day. Visitors are advised to wear their jackets or sweaters on. It will be a very cold ascent but once the sun comes up, it will start to become warmer in the basket, plus the heat that comes out from the hot air.

The festival is exhilarating. There are so many balloons and they are really beautiful. You can take a ride or stay on the ground and take some nice photographs. You can take your family along, especially the kids but make sure you all wake up early morning because as mentioned earlier, these colorful things fly early morning when the winds are most stable.

This is the event where you can bring the entire family with you especially the kids, that is, if they can wake up early. It is not necessary to take the ride if you are not up to it and if the kids are scared. You can simply stay on the ground and look at those beautiful colors. There are also a lot of other booths and activities where you can take your children to. Not to mention all the souvenirs and toys you can buy.

But it will be even more exciting if you will take the ride. It will last for about an hour to three hours depending on your preference. Payment will differ depending on the length of time, of course.

At first, it may be too scary but as the balloon goes up several hundred feet high, you will forget about the fear when you are welcomed by the scenic view. This ride is as relaxing as it can get and it makes people recount the old times when this was used as a transportation by people.

The city is known for these festivals and events. But they are also available at any time of the year as long as the weather is good and the winds are stable, they can fly. The operators have been doing this for over forty years now so they can be trusted. There are also safety gears that in case of emergencies but there are very few known accidents and incidents that relate to this, so there is nothing to worry about.

Once they think the winds are really stable, they can even elevate the balloon several feet up where you can enjoy a more breath taking view. When you look down, you will be given a birds eye view of almost the entire city. This is great since you can also photograph really nice panorama and landscape.
