Reviews of The Ohio Challenge
"First time visiting the Middletown Regional Airport and Ohio Challenge, and it was amazing. Parking went smoothly on the grounds, lots of vendors and food trucks. It was so neat seeing all the balloons. Wonderful pyrotechnics sky diving show. Loved the fireworks and the drone show. I also did my first tethered air balloon ride and highly recommend it. The group that ran it was like a well-oiled machine."
"This was our first time experience with hot air balloons. We all liked it very much. Their drone show and fireworks were the best. It is a real challenge!! Shuttle service was helpful. The organisers could do more to reduce the wait time for parking. Show up early to beat the crowd. I would definitely recommend this."
"Nice collection of balloons , lot of food stalls unfortunately there is a big queue on each vendor. There was a chiller playing area not that big but still kids enjoyed well. The fireworks was an excellent show"
"Our family went to the Ohio Challenge tonight. Overall it was a good experience. The hot air balloons, fireworks and sky divers all put on a good show. The environment was family friendly. They also had helicopter rides going on throughout the afternoon and evening. The lines for the food trucks were extremely long. We didn’t wait in one but I heard people say that some were over an hour. I believe it because they were really backed up. It also took a very long time to get out of the parking lot."
