Let yourself be lifted gently into the sky on a stunning champagne hot air balloon flight, launching from the countryside between Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. Suspended beneath a colorful balloon, you’ll float effortlessly over farms, forests, and rolling hills while soaking in panoramic views in every direction.
Whether you're marking a milestone or simply chasing adventure, this magical flight offers an experience filled with serenity, wonder, and timeless charm. After landing, enjoy a traditional champagne or sparkling cider toast, along with keepsakes to remember your flight: a First Flight Certificate and commemorative lapel pin.
From the peaceful drift of the balloon to the quiet moments of reflection high above the world, this is more than just a ride, it’s an unforgettable journey that reconnects you with nature, perspective, and pure joy.
ARRIVAL & CHECK-IN
Arrive at the confirmed launch site 30 minutes before flight time. You'll be greeted by your pilot and crew, followed by a short safety briefing and pre-flight prep.
BALLOON SETUP & BOARDING
Watch (or assist!) as the balloon is inflated. Once ready, board the basket with up to five other passengers and prepare for liftoff.
IN-FLIGHT ADVENTURE
Float for 45 to 60 minutes, guided by the wind. You'll take in sweeping views of northeastern Ohio’s countryside, Kent State’s skyline, and the peaceful landscapes beyond.
LANDING & CELEBRATION
After a gentle touchdown, celebrate your flight with a champagne or sparkling juice toast. You’ll also receive your First Flight certificate and a commemorative pin to mark the occasion.
All flights take off at sunrise on weekends from April through November, offering a breathtaking start to your day! During the summer and holidays, be sure to check for weekday flight availability for even more opportunities to soar
