| Each year at
Balloon Fiesta® balloon enthusiasts can get hands-on experience
at the Balloon Discovery Center. Located at the north end of
Balloon Fiesta Park, the Balloon Discovery Center draws more
than 30,000 visitors of all ages each year.
Interactive exhibits illustrate
the principles of lighter-than-air flight, the history of
the sport, and safety aspects of ballooning. A hot air balloon
exhibit has a basket in which kids can "burn" the
burners and simulate a balloon flight. Another exhibit demonstrates
the "Albuquerque Box" effect. |
The theater
area features speakers from all aspects of ballooning, story
time, puppet shows, videos about ballooning, and tissue paper
balloon classes where you can build your own hot air balloon.
