Creator's Key Takeaways

Being my first balloon festival, I didn't know what to expect, but I kind of expected more balloons.

The balloons they had were pretty nice. These are going to look pretty cool at night when all lit up.

The laser light show fell a little short to me. I don't know what I expected, but they also played some dance music with it.

So, my overall thoughts on the hot air balloon festival? Eh. It's a lot of waiting around to go on a hot air balloon ride, some food to eat, a couple blow-up things for kids to do, but overall, I think it was $26 to get in per person. I don't know if I'd do it again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for waiting around, as the balloon ride process can take time.
