If you are up for an adventure of a lifetime, it’s time to book a hot air balloon ride. Leisurely float 2,000 feet above the ground in a bright, colorful hot air balloon as you gaze out at the beautiful Ohio countryside.
Fly Ohio Ballooning
Fly Ohio Ballooning is a commercial ballooning company in central Ohio. They offer sunrise and pre-sunset hot air balloon flights that give riders beautiful panoramic views of the Central Ohio countryside. The hot air balloon rides accommodate 1-4 people, and they also offer a special romantic getaway flight for two. Simply call to make reservations.
In addition to hot air balloon rides, they also offer balloon tethers. During a tether, the balloon is tied to the ground with ropes and only ascends to a low altitude. The balloon can land and ascend multiple times, changing passengers each time. This is a great way to give a large group of passengers a glimpse of the flight experience.
