To top it off, it happened to be a Free Friday, so admission was completely free, such a great surprise. I loved learning about the history of hot air ballooning and seeing how it’s grown into such a huge part of New Mexico’s culture. Definitely worth the stop while exploring the area."

Although the primary focus is on the history of balloons and those who fly them, I particularly enjoyed the weather exhibit. We were also fortunate to go during the Balloon Festival and participate in the Virtual Reality Balloon Ride. It was so much fun and easily made our visit worth the small entry fee. There is a large parking lot available next to the museum."

We learned how the military used balloons to get a view of the land many many years before drones. There was one activity where it would take your face and make it into a balloon. For some reason it kept making me with a mustache. It gave us a good laugh. We had a lot of fun exploring and learning about Hot Air Balloons."

We came 90 minutes before closing on a Saturday(holiday weekend) and it was nearly empty. We spent an hour there. Ample parking. Worth a visit."
