60.00 for 2 adults for nothing. Don’t waste your time and money. No balloons at all until 8:00 and they were open since 3 pm. No place to sit. The list for people wanting the advertised tether rides was filled with people that had been waiting since 3 pm. The wind conditions were good today, so this doesn’t make sense. No information before you pay. We gave our tickets to a family that was just coming in and went home. Everything is extra, bring lots of money and a sun umbrella if you decide to go. Very disappointing!
Went yesterday. Very disappointed. Only 1 ballon went up. Overpriced moneypit. trEntire row of $$ food vendors and no place to sit down and eat. After paying that amount of money I expect to be able to at least sit down and enjoy the meal. I saw people sitting on you grass eating.
