Great Park Balloon Ride

Irvine

4.5 (1.4k) Helium Balloon
Closed

The Great Park Balloon is an iconic orange helium attraction that offers passengers sweeping 360-degree views of Irvine and Orange County from 400 feet above the ground. This affordable and spontaneous experience operates on a first-come, first-served basis, requiring visitors to check in at the visitor center for a 10-minute flight over the park's sports complex.

Viewers expressed overall enthusiasm for the featured 'hidden gems,' with specific praise directed toward The Taco Station. While the sentiment remains largely positive, there is a significant concern regarding the high price points of the locations mentioned.

  • Check in at the visitor center for the first-come, first-served queue.
  • Plan for a 10-minute flight reaching 400 feet above the park.
  • Arrive early to avoid long waits for the spontaneous experience.
  • Be mindful of pricing as viewers found the area's attractions expensive.
  • Pair the ride with a visit to the highly-praised Taco Station.
