Did You Know?

The Great Park Balloon is the largest tethered helium balloon (not hot air) in the United States. It is environmentally safe, non-polluting, and virtually silent. The Balloon is always tethered to the ground with a steel cable and is never in a state of free flight, making it both a safe and fun experience for everyone.
