Fun Factor: 9

Keywords: hot air balloon, hot air rides, balloon rides, hot air balloon rides, sky adventures, hot air flights

Description: Take to the sky and see everything it has to offer from the safety of a hot air balloon. Witness fantastic sights as you glide above the earth and enjoy a beautiful ride with your special companion.

Pros: A very romantic choice for a date. Perfect for anniversaries or birthdays. This is a once and a lifetime event that many people have never experienced. It is offered in many places across the country, and the world. Also, this can be a great surprise gift, especially if you are in the doghouse.

Cons: As long as your significant other is not scared of heights, there are no problems besides price. This shouldn't be a first date, but instead saved for later in the relationship due to the cost.

Change it up: Opt for a novelty balloon (such as Darth Vader or Hello Kitty) instead of a normal rainbow-colored balloon.

Keep it simple: Enjoy a nice picnic from a high, scenic location.

Tips: For this date, clothing is important. Long pants and comfortable warm clothing are recommended. Do not forget your camera for this event, as it will offer many photo opportunities. Reservations must be made before hand and is better for summer, spring and early fall, when the sky is generally clear and viewing is easier.
