The area just opened from being temporarily closed in front of me. I hardly had to wait. Overall it was a pleasant experience. View to the north is the best. Since is more green. Only 8 people were there on the balloon including us on one trip. Which was for around 10 mins. AND go on a LESS WINDY DAY otherwise it will be closed More

  • Kelly Hirano

Lots of fun and shockingly inexpensive relative to other add-on safaris offered by the park. $18 per person, in Dec 2018. Ride length is about 10 mins and they let you walk around once at the top. Very friendly staff, but slow iPad-based waiver form process at ticketing which some people really struggled with.

  • Renny300

This ride is very gentle and goes up to 400 ft in the air. This is a great ride for the whole family as any age can ride on the Balloon. If they are 12 or older they can ride alone, as long as the waiver is filled out by an adult. Under 12

Fun, kids loved it. My 5 year old was enjoying it, even though he didn't want to go initially. It's definitely an experience worth trying once. Lastly I would not do it again. It's expensive and pretty quick. More

  • Christina Smith

For $20 you can go up 400 feet and see an incredible view of the Safari Park and the beautiful valley surrounding the park. Great photo opportunity. This experience is available as weather permits. More

  • Michael Diaz

Balloon was a highlight, it was $20 / person. You had to pay admission. I would not do it again, but it was fun. Did have to sign waivers for each kid, this slowed down the purchase of tickets. More

  • Michael Adjustor LoGiudice

This place is far better than any Zoo we have been too. The collection animals is stunning and well look at the photos for example. I know you will love it.

  • Alexandra

They close this at 4 pm and the wait is at least an hour long, sometimes more. Costs $20 per person. Come very early if you want to ride this. More

  • Biubiubiu Last

Base cost $90(20 to enter parking lot, 70 to enter safari park) If you’re gonna go, you better go early in the day. Don’t wait until afternoon,

  • Neil Crowell

A fun and unique experience, especially for older kids. Nice aerial view of the park and surrounding area for a reasonable price ($20pp)
