The museum gives an excellent overview from the very first beginnings of balloon rides to the record flights over the Atlantic, Pacific and around the world.

This is a smaller museum, but it is filled with interesting facts about hot air ballooning. It is a great stop before you actually take a hot air balloon ride.

Everything is so well laid out and explained. Lots of stuff for the little and big ones to have hands on experiences. Also, there are rooms for rent on the top floor... More

Amazing exhibits of the earliest balloon flights and up to present day flights. Very unusual museum and we learned so much. I would definitely recommend a visit to this museum the day before you do your own balloon ride.

I have been to this museum several times and am always impressed with the quality of the exhibits. Traveling shows have been wonderful, especially the one about Fugos (fascinating! look it up). Docents are knowledgeable and friendly. With luck, you'll get Mel!

This is a great history of the Balloons in Albuquerque over the years, from the very first to all the side shows. Great science trip for kids/schools.

After a balloon ride over Albuquerque a trip to the museum is a must. The history of ballooning is fascinating and there is a great gift shop to help keep your memories.

My eight yr old loved flying and landing the balloon. We learned alot about ballooning and have cute pictures. This is a good value... More
