We saw the balloon and when we drove into Bournemouth and thought we would give it a go. You see the town from the height but the views are not that great. Like someone mentioned previously a live guide rather than a recording may make the views more interesting, but for the money we felt it was over priced. Extra... More

We decided to see for ourselves whether this was a good trip or not. Well we queued at the ticket office and were dealt with by a surly woman (not a good start), we walked down to the balloon and were asked to sit on some hard seats in an enclosed area on one side of a gangway then told... More

We paid £12.50 to go up for 20 mins each - although the view was amazing it did seem like a lot for what it was. we couldnt really hear the commentry very well and the guide didn't speak much English and really wasn't interested in talking to anyone just waiting for his clue to bring us back down. Personally... More

On a chilly and hazy March day day my father-in-law, 80, thoroughly enjoyed seeing his town from 500' up. He was thrilled. At £9.50 for the senior's ticket we felt the trip good value. The staff were great, there was no waiting at this non-holiday time of the year and no long queue for tickets. As the management are recruiting... More

Spur of the moment idea and wow what great views of the surrounding area with a running commentary.It goes up 500 feet and we went up early Dec,in the freezing cold but well worth the 15-20 mins of scenery to view.£12 each for me and the missus you can walk around the outer ring or just look down at the...

Although very impressive views i thought that £12.50 for 15 mins was a bit steep..Either reduce the fee or increase the viewing time.. Also thier should be little name labels on the balloon badket telling us what we can see in the distance like they have on the London Eye.. We were told on the information board on the ground...

Took my son in law and granddaughter's husband for a boys day out. Enjoyed the experience. For me it's one of those things to tick off. Done that would not rush to repeat. Restraints near, toilets near. Car parking in public car parks, can get very busy in season. Not cheap but worth doing. Safe for children but need supervision.... More

Well we never went on as it was to expensive and looking at the amount of time you spent on it not value for money. This was the view of families we spoke to while we where looking at the price list.

The nice and warm weather of a day in mid October led me to Bournemouth with its nice park and this fascinating pier. On this there are interesting tables to read and to learn about the history of this town. If you look for a nice little restaurant to have a meal ask for "Olive" there. They are very politely... More
