Celebrate Polaris Industries' 70th Anniversary with Thrilling Hot Air Balloon Rides Over Roseau!
Mark your calendars for August 17th as Polaris Industries commemorates its 70th anniversary right here in its birthplace, our vibrant community of Roseau! Get ready for an unforgettable experience with one of the most exhilarating opportunities of the celebration: hot air balloon rides!
Soar over the City on a Tethered Ride
Soar high above the city and marvel at the spectacular views of Roseau and the grand festivities below. These tethered hot air balloon rides will provide you with a bird’s eye view that you won’t want to miss.
Flight Schedule: Weather Determines Flight Times
Cool temperatures and calm winds are ideal; flights will only happen under these perfect conditions. Our licensed pilots will decide when it’s safe to fly.
Based on the predicted weather, we expect flights from 6 AM to 9 AM on Saturday and again at about 5 PM until dark. Remember, the weather is unpredictable, and we prioritize safety above all.Â
A sign will be posted near the balloons with updates from the pilots on expected flight times. Â
Weather Permitting -Ride Details
The adventure kicks off early in the morning, taking advantage of the perfect air conditions for ballooning. Flights are scheduled from 6-9 AM and will resume around 5 PM until late evening. Late-night flights will take you up at dusk, and you might capture an amazing Roseau sunset. Remember, the right temperature and weather are crucial for a successful flight, with cool, overcast days being ideal over hot, sunny ones. If the weather is too hot, then the balloon cannot inflate, making flight impossible.Â
Lines will form at the basket of each balloon. To participate, pick a balloon that you want to ride in and wait your turn. It’s first come, first served.
COST: $10
Other details and a few pointers
- There is no age limit for riding the balloon.Â
- Remember to secure your belongings or be prepared to leave them next to the basket. Space is limited in the basket.
- Help will be available to climb into the balloons basket. Parents can lift small children .
- It does require some strength and balance to enter and exit the basket. We suggest flat shoes or sneakers. Climbing into the basket is like climbing over a farm fence.Â
