Tethered Balloon Rides

Ride up in a hot air balloon that stays tied to the ground and rises to about 75 feet. A great first balloon experience for families.

How it's different

Tethered rides are separate from the Morning Balloon Launches and Evening Desert Glows. The balloon stays secured to the ground the whole time, so it's a short, gentle ride up and back down.

Good to know

  • Rides pause or stop if wind or weather is unsafe.
