Description
Bournemouth Balloon is a unique sightseeing attraction located in the Lower Gardens, offering visitors the chance to see Bournemouth from high above the town. This giant tethered helium balloon provides a calm, smooth ascent and unforgettable views of the coastline and surrounding area. It is suitable for both adults and children and offers daytime and illuminated evening flights.
The Balloon gently rises 500 feet above the Lower Gardens, giving 360-degree panoramic views of the English Channel and surrounding countryside up to 20 miles away. Passengers ride in an enclosed, accessible gondola that can carry 25–28 people, allowing everyone to walk around freely and enjoy unobstructed views. The experience includes day flights and illuminated night flights, creating a particularly romantic atmosphere after dark.
Tickets cost £12.50 for adults, £7.50 for children aged 2–13, with children under 2 free. A family ticket (2 adults + 2 children) costs £35.00, while seniors and students pay £9.50, and groups of 10 or more receive a 10% discount.
Bournemouth Balloon offers a peaceful yet memorable way to experience the town from the sky. The smooth ascent, stunning views, and central location make it easy to include in any Bournemouth visit. It’s an ideal attraction for families, couples, and anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic experience above the Dorset coast.
