Reviewers describe the Balloon Safari as a stable, comfortable ride offering elevated views of the park and surrounding valley, suitable for both children and adults. The $20 per person price is generally considered reasonable, though customers frequently note that wind conditions can cause cancellations. A recurring criticism involves limited operating hours, with the attraction closing at 4 PM and often requiring long wait times. Some visitors found the scenery from 400 feet up to be less impressive than expected, and a few encountered closure issues due to maintenance or weather.

Highly recommend the experience. Not scary at all thanks to the wonderful pilot we had who explained every step of the way and made our experience pleasant.
Great for kids and grown ups!
Excelente experiencia dentro del zoo, para apreciar la vida animal desde el aire! Tiene un costo adicional, vale la pena.
Exelente lugar, muy recomendado todo está limpio y ordenado, los animales se ven en muy buen estado. Bien alimentados y bien cuidados.
They close this at 4 pm and the wait is at least an hour long, sometimes more. Costs $20 per person. Come very early if you want to ride this.
A very cool experience. Seen most of the park from high up.
Fun experience
Amazing view of all of the habitats at the Safari park
It's cool to be in a hot air balloon, but unfortunately the sights are not particularly grand.
Base cost $90(20 to enter parking lot, 70 to enter safari park) If you’re gonna go, you better go early in the day. Don’t wait until afternoon, facilities will be closed before park closes. Big zoo, offers zip line, car tours, hot balloon ride, etc. All tickets sold separately, starting from $20.
