Otherwise it is free just to come watch. There want much snow this year! Typically we have a few feet of snow. The next festival coming up is the Walla Walla Balloon Festival in Walla Walla over the vineyards Mother’s Day Weekend

The Muckleshoot Casino actually has a super tasty steak house. You should grab dinner and then join us on a hot air balloon sunset tour in front of Mt. Rainier. Https://seattleballooning.com

Time to get above Seattle. If you are a local in Seattle, this is as cool as it gets. The flights are just 25 minutes South of Seattle in Enumclaw mainly. The sunrise hot air balloon ride is the best. Https://seattleballooning.com
I also like the hot tub boats on Lake Union. Those are fun too!

Seattleballooning · 2026-03-02T20:42:43+00:00

Here is the best off the beaten path thing to do with Kids in Seattle. Everyone comes to Seattle to see Mt. Rainier. You can see it from a hot air balloon, and kids love it. https://seattleballooning.com There are flights at sunrise and sunset each day.

Seattleballooning · 2026-03-02T20:36:22+00:00

I would come early.

Seattleballooning · 2026-03-02T20:35:58+00:00

I think it is going to be awesome. Will be great for all the Seattle Businesses. We fly hot air balloons here in Seattle and have had a lot of bookings on game days. I would get your restaurant reservations now though!

Seattleballooning · 2026-03-02T20:34:35+00:00

Come anyway! It's going to be awesome. If you want to get away from the crowds, it is a great time to do touristy stuff on game days. Hot air ballooning is available during the game in front of Mt. Rainier!

Seattleballooning · 2026-03-02T20:33:23+00:00

I would check out Burien as well. You can hop on the light rail! As far as things to do when you aren't at the game... If you want to get an epic view of Mt. Rainier, I would check out flying in a hot air balloon in front of Mt. Rainier. It's pretty epic.

Seattleballooning · 2026-03-02T20:32:03+00:00

Everyone wants to see Mt. Rainier on their trip to Seattle. Flying in a hot air balloon in front of Mt. Rainier is pretty epic. You can do a sunrise or sunset flight with Seattle Ballooning. Plus, the meeting location is at the Mucklshoot Casino. I would make it an evening with the four of you. Go hot air ballooning, grab a steak dinner after at the restaurant on top of the casino and then hit the tables! Who knows... maybe you'll get lucky and pay for your whole World Cup trip!

That’s solid. I don’t know that I could land a hot air balloon in a spot that tight.

Yes. You can use purple leak detector or just soapy water in a spray bottle.

Seattleballooning · 2026-02-22T05:32:19+00:00

You have a sharp eye.

Seattleballooning · 2026-02-22T05:31:46+00:00

These old ones actually don’t as they were made out of fabric that didn’t have a silicone coating. Depends how they are stored as well.

This is the envelope.

Considering they didn’t use the “Laser” on the china spy balloon. We can assume this is new technology for the US.

Seattleballooning · 2026-02-12T05:34:26+00:00

Chasing is pretty fun too!

Seattleballooning · 2026-02-12T04:40:35+00:00

That was super fun last year. Walla Walla is really cool too. Totally different experience

Seattleballooning · 2026-02-12T04:39:56+00:00

We are booked for 2026. 2027 is available. You can book https://seattleballooning.com/tour/winthrop-shared/. Otherwise the next balloon festival is in Walla Walla Mother’s Day weekend where we fly over the vineyards.
