Here are a few reviews of our many adventures in New Mexico:
“Actually standing beside a balloon as it was inflated and talking to the pilots and crews was far more exciting than I had expected. Watching the balloons take off was something MAGICAL!”
— Pat from Evansville, Ind.
“Experiencing the balloon activity on the ‘field’ is a truly unique adventure and something you will never forget. Do not miss the Dawn Patrol, it is the coolest thing ever. Come see why the Balloon Fiesta is the most photographed event in the world!”
— Paul from Denver, Colo.
