Great Park Balloon & Carousel Rides

The Great Park Balloon and Carousel Ride are the Orange County Great Park’s iconic attractions. The Great Park Balloon is one of the largest tethered helium (not hot air) balloons and the first of its kind in the United States. It is environmentally safe, non-polluting, and virtually silent. With the ability to hold up to 25–30 passengers and soar 400 feet above the surrounding landscape, it serves as a public observation deck for the Great Park’s development and offers an unmatched 360° view that spans 40 miles on a clear day. 

Prefer to keep both feet on the ground? Come check out the Great Park Carousel. It's an Orange County tradition, updated with vintage-inspired scenic artwork, and a favorite for kids of all ages.
