Even with knee limitations, getting on & off was no problem, nor was taking off & landing.
The views were spectacular! We plan to do it again at night next time.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear getting on and off the balloon was comfortable and that you were able to enjoy those spectacular views of Niagara Falls. We’d love to welcome you back for a nighttime flight next time, the Falls are incredible after dark!

It was ok but I wish it was closer to the falls. It wasn't what I was expecting but it was cool to go up.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Not a long wait to get on. You go up for 15 to 20 minutes. You can see both falls, the bridge, the river and a large portion of both sides of the cities, US and Canada.

Had it scheduled and they canceled due to wind . No notice , no message telling us . We were on the Canada side , took 30 minutes to cross thru customs. A message would have been nice !! Now we are left with nothing scheduled!!!
Response from Host, May 2026
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this caused. Safety is always our top priority, and due to changing wind conditions, flights can sometimes be canceled on short notice. That said, we completely understand how upsetting it was to make the trip across the border and arrive without receiving timely communication from us.
We appreciate this feedback and are actively reviewing our notification process to ensure guests are informed as quickly as possible in situations like this. Please reach out to us directly so we can help reschedule your experience and make this right.
Thank you for your understanding, and again, we truly apologize for the disappointment.

The tethered part of the attraction is presented in one place at the very bottom. I thought we would fly over Niagra State Park. The price is too high for going up and down. I had a better view of the falls from the hotel room. It's not a great place for pictures because the netting is in the way, which is should be for safety reasons. The trip would have been worth it if we moved.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it can be when an attraction feels different from what you anticipated.
Our balloon experience is a tethered attraction designed to provide elevated panoramic views of Niagara Falls and the surrounding area while remaining safely anchored in place. We do try to communicate this clearly throughout the booking process, but we appreciate your feedback regarding the visibility and placement of that information and will continue working to make it more prominent for future guests.
We also understand your comments regarding photography and perceived value. Safety netting is an important part of the experience, but we recognize it can impact photos for some guests. Your feedback is truly appreciated as we continue improving both the guest experience and how the attraction is presented online.
Thank you again for visiting and sharing your thoughts with us.
Stephen_C, May 2026
Waited 5 minutes b4 the ride was scheduled to cancel it, then tells us its going to be a week before we get our refund what a joke. I get the safty part im thankfully for that but if you knew that morning you should of let us know then. And a week or longer to get our money back but they make us pay on the spot and take it from out acount.
Response from Host, May 2026
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this caused. We completely understand how upsetting it is to arrive for your scheduled ride, only to have it canceled at the last minute after already making plans and paying in advance.
Safety will always come first with weather and wind conditions, but we also recognize that communication is just as important. Your feedback about the timing of the cancellation is valid, and we understand why you feel you should have been notified sooner if conditions were already trending unsafe earlier in the day.
We also understand your frustration regarding the refund timeline. While refunds can take several business days to process depending on the bank or credit card provider, we know that doesn’t make the situation any less frustrating when payments are charged immediately.
We truly appreciate your feedback and apologize again for the disappointment. Please reach out to us directly so we can look into your reservation and assist further.

You can see all of the Falls. The picture given I thought would have been authentic but it was like a cheap backdrop already installed.
Jay_T, Mar 2026
The view is spectacular, and our pilot, Eric, was friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable....
A great way to see this majestic place in New York!!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

His friendly personality, knowledge, and dedication to creating an exceptional experience make him a valued part of our team.
There's truly nothing like seeing Niagara Falls from above, and we're so glad you chose to experience this incredible view with us. Thank you for flying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable ride in the future!

Jessica was a very professional pilot who made our flight fun and memorable. The view was great. It's a little windy and cold up in the air.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Jessica helped make your flight both fun and memorable. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her.
We're also glad you enjoyed the incredible views from above Niagara Falls. And you're absolutely right—temperatures can be a bit cooler and the breeze a little stronger at altitude, even on warm days. We always recommend bringing a light jacket just in case.
Thank you for flying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!

If you never did a hot air balloon 🎈 ride before this would be a good one to try out . It gives you an aerial view of the falls
Mary_S, Sep 2025
It was fun. Was a great view. The guide was friendly and explained the process so there were no surprises.

Very friendly staff. Only suggest you provide the pic to the customer thru ticket office rather than the food truck.
