Red Balloon

Kenneth Lewis

I celebrated my birthday on August 2nd with Big Red Balloon, and it was absolutely unforgettable. My wife surprised me with the ride, and to make it even more special, we actually flew right over the top of our house! A huge thank you to David, our pilot, who not only gave us a smooth, breathtaking flight but also shared a fascinating, little-known history of hot air balloons. That extra knowledge added so much meaning to the adventure. The post-flight champagne celebration was the perfect way to end the day, and David went above and beyond by giving each of us a $10 breakfast gift certificate — such a thoughtful touch! I also want to recognize Joe, our spotter on the ground, for his professionalism and support in making everything seamless from start to finish. Big Red Balloon turned my birthday into a memory I’ll never forget. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dave and Brandon were awesome! Very informative. You get to be a part of the process from start to finish, which made me feel even safer understanding how everything worked and being involved. The ride was beautiful! I flew alone and the couple that was on the trip was wonderful also, so don't hesitate to do it alone! You will fit right in! Definitely would do another ride with this company.

This was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Booking was a breeze, and we received plenty of helpful information ahead of time. The evening before our flight, we got a call from Dave, our pilot, who truly made our entire experience next level. He was engaging, hilarious, and kept us informed the entire time. We flew alongside another balloon and pilot, which made for some fun banter and great photo ops. After landing, we had a celebratory champagne toast and exchanged photos with the other group before being driven back to Bob Evans for a delicious breakfast. Dave and his ground crew assistant, Andrew, went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend Big Red Balloon Sightseeing Adventures enough—it was worth every penny and a bucket list moment they absolutely delivered on.

Had a blast on 4th of July morning! Waited for some clouds to pass and then took off. Seeing the process of lifting off and enjoying the views was amazing! Would definitely recommended if this is something you’re interested in and not afraid of!

We had the best time. Captain Dave was excellent. He explained everything in detail and allowed us to participate in the setup and breakdown, making it a complete experience. It was a peaceful ride and a fantastic adventure completed with a traditional Champagne toast (which also was perfect for a toast to my birthday). :). I highly recommend The Red Balloon Sightseeing Adventure.

I recently booked a surprise birthday experience for my husband with Big Red Balloon, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. The staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a magical moment. They took care of every detail, making sure my husband felt special and celebrated. The experience itself was breathtaking—peaceful, exhilarating, and truly one-of-a-kind. Seeing the joy on his face made it all worth it! If you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to celebrate a special occasion, I highly recommend Big Red Balloon. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and creating amazing experiences is unmatched. We will definitely be back for another adventure!
