Review:

Every year, the International Hot Air Balloon Festival is held near Albuquerque and Santa Fe. This amazing spectacle is attended by people from all over the world, and is a ton of fun for kids to see all the bright balloons in the air. Whether your family is in town for the balloon festival or you’ve missed it and want to get a feel for it off-season, the International Balloon Museum is there to help. This incredible museum explores the history and science behind balloon aviation, and the way that hot air balloons become lighter than air. Kids can watch a film, explore a weather lab, and see real hot air balloons in the museum.
