This just in: The Administaff Holiday Balloon launch date has changed from Dec. 4 to Dec. 11. This date is of course dependant on weather and we will keep you up-to-date on anymore changes.

Spanning 60-foot in diameter, the balloon holds up to 17 people and travels to a height of 350 ft. On a clear day, we hear that's enough to see the gulf. On a clear night, with holiday lights aglow, the view is sure to be breathtaking.

The balloon is anchored in the Jones Lawn at Discovery Green and rides are offered daily through Feb. 28. Rides last approximately 8-10 minutes.

To check hours and weather, call the balloon weather hotline at 646-827-6287.
