Description:
Float majestically through the sky in a graceful hot air balloon enjoying the romance, tranquility and breathtaking views of the St. Louis countryside.
The air is crisp and clear, all is quiet except for the occasional sound of the burner disturbing the perfect serenity that surrounds you.
You float majestically somewhere between the trees and heaven watching life drift slowly past below. You take it all in, thinking just how perfect this day has become, how awesome this experience is and why you didn't do this sooner.
After flying from tree-top level to several thousand feet, your once-in-a-lifetime experience will conclude with a traditional champagne toast.
Balloon flights are a great idea for romantic interludes, family outings, corporate events or any other occasion that you want to be remembered forever.

What to Wear:
Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for weather conditions and closed toed shoes with no heels. If this is a winter flight, please dress in layers so that if you get warm, you can remove a layer to stay comfortable. Natural fibers are also better then man-made as they are less apt to be melted if they get near the burner. Please note that the burner provides little if any heat to the passengers and pilot in the winter as it all goes into the balloon, so dress accordingly.
