What We Offer

Precision Planning

Ensure a seamless journey by providing precise weight information, allowing Butler Ballooning to tailor the flight to your needs. The hot air balloons come with specific weight lifting restrictions, factoring in dimensions and morning temperatures for a safe and enjoyable adventure.

Comfortable Flight Attire

Prepare for your high-flying adventure by dressing in comfort and style. Choose comfortable closed-toe shoes, perfect for a short walk, and consider adding a ball cap or hat for protection from the burners' heat. Long pants are recommended for added comfort during your aerial escapade.

Expert Assistance

The experienced and friendly crew is dedicated to making your boarding and disembarking experience smooth and stress-free. Beyond their navigation skills, they double as skilled photographers, capturing your pre-flight excitement and post-landing jubilation. Get ready for those 'survivor' photos!

Serene Ascent

Experience a tranquil and motionless ascent as you glide above treetops to enjoy panoramic views of valleys below. The absence of motion in hot air ballooning creates a serene atmosphere, allowing even those with initial fears of heights to feel at ease and savor the unique journey.

Aerial Delights

From your elevated vantage point, witness breathtaking views of the landscape. Enjoy the chance to pluck a leaf from a treetop or spot wildlife below. The surprising clarity of sound ensures you'll hear waves from the ground. Flights typically last between 50 minutes to just over an hour, depending on landing spot availability.

Traditional Touchdown Celebration

Upon gentle landing, partake in a traditional champagne toast while the efficient crew handles the balloon packing. Engage in conversation with your pilot, boasting ten years of African ballooning experience now brought to Pittsburgh. Feel free to join in balloon pack-up activities for an extra thrill.

Personalized Pilot Welcome

Since moving to Pittsburgh in 2022, your pilot has embraced the city's down-to-earth and friendly nature. With a commitment to exceptional customer service, your pilot is eager to ensure your ballooning experience is not only memorable but thoroughly enjoyable. Questions and curiosities are welcomed, as your pilot looks forward to sharing a passion for flying and making new friends along the way.

Convenient Departure Details

Embark on your hot air balloon adventure from Butler Farm Show Airport, conveniently located just a 50-minute drive from downtown Pittsburgh and 30 minutes from Wexford. Meeting times vary throughout the year, aligning with the changing sunrise times.
