My daddy, my daughters and I went to take the big balloon at Orange County last Friday.
We left at 8:30 from Torrance and arrived at the park at 9:40. Well, you know, I drove super super fast^0^////~
Riding on the balloon was fun, and I am very happy that there is no limit for the ages!!^0^
The Great Park was a marine base and it is still under construction. According to the employee, the park will be ready in 15 to 20 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! I must come back to see it and ride on the balloon again!!! ^0^
If you want to visit the park,try to go there in the morning. Sometimes it’s too windy to fly in the afternoon.
You also can visit it in the evening,however,you will need to pay $8 for the parking when there are some free music and dance events.^0^
BTW, if you exit form freeway 405 or 5, take the Sand Canyon Ave,then go to Marine Way. Follow the direction, and you will see the balloon^0^. Don’t go to Trabuco Rd., it doesn’t work right now.^0^

Did You Know?
The Great Park Balloon is one of the largest tethered helium balloon (not hot air) and the first of its kind in the United States. It is environmentally safe, non-polluting, and virtually silent. The Balloon is always tethered to the ground with a steel cable and is never in a state of free flight, making it both a safe and fun experience for everyone.
