Notes about the Tethered Rides:

Tethered rides are our most popular attraction. So here are some things that are good to know.

  • Start time varies based on weather. Times are general and will be delayed if it is too windy.

  • First-come, first-served. Pay in line when it’s your turn. We do not sell tickets in advance or take reservations for the tethered rides because the start time varies.

  • We recommend not getting in line before the balloon begins setup, which will be when the weather conditions safely allow.  

  • Once started will generally keep going until weather permits, or line is done.

  • Young children can go IF THEY are comfortable. Children under 2 discouraged. No infants.

A portion of the proceeds benefit the Fred Grotenhuis Scholarships and Fred T. Grotenhuis Veterans Community Center Project.
