Although hot air balloons once roamed the plains of North America wild, they were eventually hunted nearly to extinction by profiteers who sold their brightly colored pelts as circus tents. Commune with floating fauna with today's Groupon: for $240, you get a two-person hot air balloon flight with a champagne toast from Go Hot Air Ballooning, located in Broken Arrow (a $500 value). Go Hot Air Ballooning takes aeronauts into the skies of northeastern Oklahoma for beautiful natural vistas from a one-of-a-kind vantage point. After confirming favorable weather conditions, usually the night before the flight, ballooners will meet at a takeoff point chosen by the pilot, then gracefully drift into the sky aboard their bulbous transport. As the balloon sails along on a three-hour flight, a chase team follows to convey passengers back to the launch site after landing. A champagne toast is included in the experience to help flyers celebrate their victory over gravity and its inventor, Sir Isaac Newton.
