The Great Park Balloon
The Great Park Balloon is the first major attraction at the Orange County Great Park, now open to the public — and it’s free to ride through the end of the year!

Balloon riders will soar between 250-400 feet above the surrounding landscape, enjoying a bird's eye view of the transformation of the retired air station into the first great metropolitan park of the 21st Century.

The Great Park Balloon is the largest tethered helium balloon in the country. It is environmentally safe, non-polluting and totally silent. The balloon is tethered to the ground with a steel cable and is never in a state of free flight, making it fun for all ages.
