Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at the boarding point, so a screenshot on your phone is all you need.

What happens if the balloon is not flying on my chosen day?

The balloon can be grounded by wind or rain. Check the official Ballon de Paris website on the morning of your visit for the daily flight status before travelling to the park.

Is there a minimum age or height requirement?

Children under 3 years old are admitted free of charge. The supplier data does not state a minimum height, but the balloon basket is enclosed and suitable for young children accompanied by an adult.

Can pregnant women take the flight?

No. Pregnant women are not permitted on the balloon for safety reasons.

What time is the last flight of the day?

The last flight departs 30 minutes before the park closes.

Is the balloon actually free-flying, or is it tethered?

It is tethered throughout the flight. The balloon rises vertically to 150 metres and holds steady at the top, then descends — it does not travel across the city.
