Our goal is to provide a world-class leisure activity, safely and consistently. The success of this 30-year dream has been enjoyed by tens of thousands of friends, family members and travelers from every corner of the world.

Our pilots, all FAA Commercially approved, drug tested, and with more than 10,000 hours of combined experience are dedicated to their profession, and set the standard in safety and passenger service.

Headquartered in Southeastern Pennsylvania, the U.S. Hot Air Balloon Team is the only company in the world experienced in and qualified to arrange hot air balloon rides and tours locally, nationally and internationally.

Locally, in Pennsylvania, The United States Hot Air Balloon Team is the area's genuine hot air ballooning service, fully staffed with our own experienced pilots who take you up in our own balloons. We manage, guide, and direct your entire experience from booking your flight through the champagne toast at the end of your flight.

Beware of resellers who will sell you a ticket, only to broker your business out to sometimes disreputable outfits. Our staff includes courteous support people, professional crew members and highly skilled pilots, so your happiness and satisfaction is not left to chance.

The Team's federally registered, state of the art balloons and equipment back up our commitment to your comfort and safety.

Balloon Federation of America

Chester County Conference & Visitors Bureau

Pennsylvania Dutch Convention & Visitors Bureau
