National Balloon Museum and U.S. Ballooning Hall of Fame

Extremely informative. Becky was wonderful. We learned so much.

Ms. Becky was so great. She gave one of the best tours ever and has extensive knowledge of hot air balloons and their history.

Neat museum and great way to learn about a unique and specialized subject matter. We love exploring off the beaten path. Staff was lovely. Inspired us to try to make it to the balloon fiesta some day. It looks like a magical experience. Thanks for your hospitality!

What you get at the museum is the curator, who is an amazing historian. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Left a big fan!

As a pilot this has to be my favorite event to attend. The competition and family atmosphere is unmatched. Can't wait till next year!

Please was very friendly, and a great place to stop if you like Hot Air Ballooning

Huge collection and very interesting exhibits!

Great history on hot air ballooning. Good displays. Friendly staff.

Greeted by wonderful ladies who are still serving in their late 70s.. as I mentioned earlier..Iowan's are extremely sweet people..

Writing in detail-😀😀😀 Stating 70s with whom we interacted was no way offensive but proud and heart felt statement. Especially being extremely patient with my kids who were bombarding with questions and I did miss to write more about the museum 🤦‍♂. It's an absolutely stunning Ballon ride collections and abundance of information.One of my bucket list of thing is to do Ballon ride and really inspired now and sure to do it shortly. Lot of information available here and you would need atleast few hours to enjoy it and "sweet ladies " are sure to help in providing enough information. Some day I will be back with flowers to apologize in person for IF you guys felt bad which was never my intention 😀.

What a great experience! Entertaining and informative. The gift shop is cool, lots of great stuff. The volunteers are sweet, kind and helpful.

Great museum! They have a lot of great displays & paraphernalia. If you have an interest in ballooning this is a great place to stop. Explore the history of ballooning in a beautiful area of Iowa.

So educational & interesting. Great short film & our guide was an experienced balloonist. He knew so much about the subject & was a delightful person.

Small place, but it's packed with stuff to see and read.

Very friendly staff, they have a nice day and crafts room for smaller children. I wish they had a basket you could climb into, for pictures, etc.

So much fun. It had so much more information than we thought. It was a good stop.

Our family loved learning more about hot air balloons. The guides were great and very informative

Great museum for balloon enthusiasts. So much history and current ballooning exhibits. A must see while in Indianola.

Fascinating! Becky will give you an amazing tour.

A fun place to take the kids. The employees were kind and fun and there were several things for the kids to do.

What a fun and super exciting museum. I wish it had more of the basics of balloon flight and basics of balloon competition
