Free Hot Air Balloon Ride in Orange County

When I heard that there was a free hot air balloon ride in Orange County, I figured it was worth a try. While soaring 400 feet above the surrounding landscape, The Great Park Balloon serves as an observation deck for everything that Irvine and the area has to offer. It's a quick, romantic sight for couples and an adventure for children. The free carousel adds to the park atmosphere.



If you have a chance to check it out, try around sunset when the shadows over the mountains the the setting sun make for a surreal experience.
