Hot Air Balloon Rides @ Central Park

As someone who visits New York City fairly often, I get really excited when I gat a chance to see the city in a unique way (As you may have noticed).

So obviously, when I heard there were going to be hot air balloon rides in Central Park from now until August 22nd, I was super happy.

In celebration of Central Park's 150th anniversary, Aero Balloon is hosting anchored hot air balloon rides for a very reasonably priced $25 a pop.

The balloons go up 300 feet and take up to four passengers in the air for 10 minutes at a time. Rides are available from 7am to 10pm on a first-come, first-serve basis and lift-off from Cherry Hill (on 72nd street, west of the Bethesda Fountain).

Me and camera are definitely going to take advantage of this ride, maybe I'll see you on line!
