Hot Air Balloon Rides

The dramatic landscape and vibrant seasonal variations of Western New York make for magnificent hot air balloon rides. The annual New York State Festival of Balloons is held Labor Day weekend in nearby Dansville, New York.

Several area companies offer rides from a variety of launch locations:

• High Hopes Balloon - Canandaigua, Conesus Lake, Perinton, Gananda
  

• Balloons Over Letchworth - Letchworth State Park
  

• Liberty Balloon - Finger Lakes Wine Country, Conesus Lake, Letchworth State Park, Genesee River Valley

Rides seem to average near $200 per person, not including group rates.

It might be worth contacting the Genesee Valley Balloon Association for more information.
