| - A big meh.
We are just leaving now. The four remaining balloons had done their "final blow" by 7:10pm. There were more or less about 10 balloons in total, but most had already been deflated and packed away...even though they had only started inflating when we got there around 6.
First, the parking costs $5...for a four hour event, it seems a little steep. I would suggest parking nearby and walking if there is public parking available elsewhere. The plus is, though, there is a free golf cart that will take you to the entrance.
At the front, you pay for tickets. For adults and kids over 13, it costs $15 each. When you walk in, there are a lot food trucks to your right. Funny enough, there are more food trucks than there are hot air balloons. There was a good variety of food, and the prices were as expected. Ps: they don't sell alcohol. There were also a good amount of vendor tents. Lastly, there was an area with inflatable jump houses and obstacles for children. A wristband for unlimited "rides" costs $10 or a single ticket cost $1. Actually, this is a great deal for the kids. I wish I could've joined!
I'm not sure if they're going to do it bigger on Saturday, but I don't think it's worth it - especially if you don't have kids. I've gone to another that was in a different location before, and i remember it being it was much bigger.
Here's my tip, save your money.
