ADA Accessibility
Your guide to the easiest access to, and around, Balloon Fiesta Park
There are over 170 ADA accessible parking spaces available at Balloon Fiesta Park.
We have ADA parking in two of our ten lots, allowing easier access to our Field; however, all lots have some accessible accommodations. The parking lots with ADA spaces are Ascension and Sunrise.
Please note that all parking, including ADA parking, is first come, first served and is $20 per session.
The QR codes assigned to each lot will also help you get back to your vehicle from the field. Make sure you scan the QR code and drop a pin on your smartphone before leaving your parking lot.
Transit Assistance
Balloon Fiesta offers transit assistance from each lot to help you get to and from the field. Feather flags mark the stops where shuttle drivers pick up. Shuttles run continuously throughout each session.
