Balloon flight
For an additional fee, you can even go for a ride in a hot air balloon!
Full flights cost $ 275 per person and you can truly float freely in the air. For those who find it a little intimidating, tethered rides are also available for $ 25 per person. You will be tied to the ground with a rope and will only be at a height of 15-30 meters.
There will be food trolleys available, plenty of family entertainment and live music. There is a lot to see and do here. Even if you prefer to stand on the ground, you are sure to have a great time!
Balloons float in the wind, so they are not easy to control or fly in circles. Pilots should keep an eye out to make sure there are suitable landing sites nearby.
