Space Needle Balloon Flights

Space Needle Balloon Flights

For the first time in over half a century, hot air balloons are returning to one of the most iconic landmarks in the world.
It’s bold. It’s breathtaking. And it’s something Seattleites (and visitors) will be talking about for decades to come.
Whether you’ve lived here forever or it’s your first time visiting, get ready for a flying experience unlike anything you’ve ever imagined.

Okay, you got us.

We’re not launching hot air balloons off the top of the Space Needle (yet). That was our little April Fools’ joke.

But here’s the real deal:

You can take a breathtaking sunrise or sunset flight with Seattle Ballooning — and instead of a launchpad made of steel, you’ll rise above green valleys with Mount Rainier towering in the distance.

It’s not a stunt. It’s real magic.

See Mount Rainier like you’ve never seen it — from 3,000 feet in the sky
🥂 Enjoy post-flight champagne and gourmet bites
📸 Capture once-in-a-lifetime views (that look very real on Instagram)
👨‍✈️ Fly with FAA-certified pilots who’ve been doing this for years (and not just on April 1st)

🎟️ Book Your Flight Now

Spring and summer flights are filling up fast. Come fly with us — no pranks, just pure beauty.

About the Author

Chief pilot of Seattle Ballooning. I get the opportunity to provide luxury hot air balloon rides just South of Seattle in front of Mt. Rainier. When you do what you love, it’s not considered work.
