About
Join us for the experience of a lifetime and fly over the gorgeous and historic Bucks County country side. Start your experience by joining the crew and helping to assemble the balloon. Be sure to bring your camera as all of our crew people are excellent photographers and there will be many opportunities for photos! Spend an hour in the air enjoying breathtaking views from the hot air balloon. Experience Bucks County, the Lehigh Valley, and Pocono Mountains like never before - from above! You'll also be treated to a view of the New York City skyline as a distant silhouette (weather permitting). Perfect for a romantic date. As opposed to a loud helicopter ride in NYC, a hot air balloon ride allows you to hear each other and the ambience below. Choose a sunrise or sunset tour and enjoy a champagne toast with snacks after the flight. We're open year-round. Book your private ride online!

My husband knows that I'm a thrill seeker and I enjoy doing adventurous activities- He decided to book us on a hot-air balloon ride. The balloon that we took leaves from Holicong Park in bucks county- we had a gorgeous day and from start to end it was a great experience- On clear days you can see Center City Philadelphia- It's a very calm ride once your up in the air you dont even feel like it. My husband is not a huge fan of heights and even he enjoyed the ride. You get to watch the balloon's get filled and take off is very smooth- I would 100% recommend doing this, even if a bit skeptical.

This was on our bucket list for several years, and we finally decided to do it! Four of us went together, along with a very nice couple. We left from Pottstown airport on an early Sunday morning in July. The ride was fantastic! So quiet up there. Saw the sunrise. Our pilot Stan took us up to about a mile high. We felt very comfortable and safe! Perfect landing in an open parking lot. The crew was right there to help with the landing. The ride lasted between 45 and 50 minutes, which we thought was a bit short. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

I entered and won a Facebook giveaway featuring an overnight stay at The Inn at Bowman's Hill, a private hot air balloon ride for two with the US Hot Air Balloon Team and dinner for two at Bowman's Tavern! We enjoyed dinner, our overnight stay and our first ever flight in a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon took off from the back yard of the Inn. The flight was smooth and clear, with a gentle landing. We could see various sites in Buck's county, and the Philadelphia and New York skyline. Even though I'm not a fan of flying in a plane, I highly recommend the experience of a hot air balloon ride. I felt safe with our experienced young pilot, Jake. Watching the entire process from inflating, ascending and descending, and deflating and packing the balloon.

I am afraid of heights like many people. I agreed to take my son up for a ride for his 21st birthday.

It was nothing short of increable. The moment we lifted off the ground all my fears disappeared. It was so beautiful and peasefull that all I could do is observe how beautiful Bucks County, PA is. It looked as if we were floating over a train set. So quiet you can hear people on the ground talking, dogs barking. People would rush out of their homes to waive at us.

The crew and staff were so friendly. I had such a great time I have volunteered to be a flight crew. That was almost as fun as the flight itself.

If you have any fears, put them aside. Its the safest form of air transportation.
