This was such an amazing experience to be up so close to a hot air balloon! They have golf carts that escort people that need a ride, with a donation. They have so many people out helping stay organized, from parking, to the front entrance admittance. The park was clean and so were the restrooms. We had a lovely time! It was worth seeing the sunrise!

It was a lot of fun. We didn't get to see any of the balloons in the air, but we did see the balloon glow on Saturday night.The kids had fun at the carnival but wished there had been more rides like a ferris wheel.Overall, expensive but great weekend with the grands.

Finally got to see the balloons! So much fun every year. They have great music and awesome food! I haven’t seen the early morning ballon rides as the start around 5:30-6:00am, but it has a lot of carnival rides and goes till about 11:00pm before they stop serving alcohol. I believe it’s $15 for 3 days, but I got with my partners job so we don’t have to worry about parking. I believe that have pancake breakfast early mornings too.

We went to this balloon festival very excited and quite early in the day like 6.15 am and most balloons were launched already… so we took a stroll watching baloon riders explaining the technique. That was fun and novel experience. Other side of the park were tethered rides. By the time we reached like around 7 am close to tethered rides, there was a very long line to get the waiver ticket. It would have taken an hour and half to get the waiver. Most tethered rides are done by 7.30-8 am. So ended up returning home. Total ticket cost of $15 plus parking equal cost $15 for an hour of excursion, seems quite costly. Although it allows for all 3 day entry most fun is in watching the balloons early morning. Suggestions would be to have each day entry separately at a reasonable cost as it was in the past.

ONLY 3 day passes offered at $15, no single day pass. Make sure to bring card it's cashless entry.Parking $15, but there is lots of free neighborhood parking nearby.It's a pretty neat balloon festival if you've never been to one. If you're wanting to see the night show make sure to pay attention to TIMES and the sunset going down because there will be no announcements and the show will be ACROSS the main park in the other field.

Will NEVER do this again!! Got there at 8:30 am, day 1 and staff assured us there were (at lease 1 balloon) to see. There were none! They were packing them up. Nothing was open. Complete rip off! paid $15 for parking (plus admission) because I was told there were balloons to see. All balloons go up around 6am and are down by 8am and gone. There was no info regarding when balloons would be available for observing. I have been to other balloon festivals and balloons are there all day to see.

$15 for parking and $15 for entrance. There is no balloons at all. We were there at 3pm. Just games like city fair in Portland. And yes vintage car show. Nothing more than that. Nothing as they advertised for balloon and named it. We just spent couple of 100$ there!! Waste of money and time. And expensive!!

It’s a really cool experience that every family should do at least once. Even if you’re not into hot air balloons in the early morning, they have a nice sized festival with rides for kids and plenty of food/drink options to boot. Lots of local and national vendors present.

Said on the site there would be balloons to see and teathered rides. ZERO balloons, never came back, super disappointed. Fun rides and games for sure. Good food but don't advertise hot air balloons when there are no balloons.

Well this is the second time we went and for the second time there were no balloons up. Kinda odd to call something a balloon festival when it's not that. The music was good and we still had fun. It's a carnival with music, goods vendors and food. That's it.

Just park close to the area to enjoy watching the balloons rise and skip the carnival. It’s a huge rip-off and takes forever to even pay to park, you’ll miss the balloons if you’re not super early.

Hi we went for first time so excited. However we didn’t get to see balloon launch for two days. Also the night glow they mentioned didn’t happen. For $12 entry pass which allows u multiple entry for 3 days and $10 parking charges everytime I feel it’s bit costly. Considering it’s not even guaranteed that we get to see balloon launch. Limited option of breakfast when u are waiting since 5.30 is also not helpful. Tethered rides also wrap up quickly depending on weather so u really need to get there early or u can miss that also. Carnival was good but tickets for each ride also too much. Overall it was good but not so convenient or pocket friendly
