Liberty Balloon Co

"A long desired adventure that I was given as a gift – a balloon ride at Letchworth State Park. It was awesome!!! Led by friendly and knowledgeable staff & our pilot, the smooth & fun high ride gave beautiful views all along the way. I recommend this!"

"We wanted to share our experience with Liberty Balloon Company. Our ride was in the evening, on Sept 19. We met at the launch site and were provided an excellent briefing about the hoped-for upcoming flight. This briefing also gave us opportunity to get acquainted with the others who would be flying with us. The pilot, Lee did an outstanding job explaining the things that we would need to know to make our flight the best possible experience. Due to the wind on the day of our flight, we were not certain we would fly. However, after waiting out the wind, the team of pilots ultimately determined that the conditions were acceptable and they quickly inflated the balloons for us to board and depart. Seeing the gorge from the balloon flying just feet from the water and, passing over the “Middle-Falls” so close you felt you could almost touch it, is an experience that will never be forgotten. As we continued our flight, the pilot steered the balloon to allow optimal views for both ends of the basket. Everyone (ours had 7 passengers) had ample opportunity to see the sights along the flight. Ultimately, we set down in a field that was clearly familiar to Liberty Balloon Company as the recovery team was in place waiting to grab ropes and haul us in. The Recovery crew (which apparently included Super-Girl) did a fantastic job of getting us safely stabilized and out of the basket. They quickly had the balloon reeled up (we got to assist in this process, another fun part of the whole experience) and we were too soon headed back to our launch point. If you have ever considered a Balloon Ride, make it a point to engage with Liberty Balloon Company. You will not be disappointed!"

"What a great experience! I’m so happy I did it and it was my first balloon experience. The crew was great! The atmosphere and setting were perfect. Thank you to the team for the work they put in daily for this experience to happen. Theresa"

"What a wonderful experience!!!! From office staff to pilot Lee to Chase crew, first class organization. Came all the way from Las Vegas to check this off my bucket list and am so glad it did. Letchworth park tour was beautiful. Going through the gorge was awesome. Wonderful memories."

"Finally did something I wanted to do for years - take a hot air balloon ride! And Liberty Ballon was the best way to do it from the professionalism of Lance, our pilot, to our chasers, Carroll & Richard. I got to see my favorite spot at Letchworth, the railroad bridge, from a different perspective, actually got to touch the water at the bottom of one of the gorges and then see miles and miles of gorgeous western New York countryside. No regrets. Yes, a tiny part of me was screaming inside (I’m afraid of heights) but the calmness of both the crew and the ride allowed me to pretend I could do this … and I did! I can’t recommend this company enough. They well know their business and I’m so glad I had the chance to fly. 10/10 would go again with this fabulous company. Thanks!"
