Host Your Tethering Event With Gateway Hot Air Balloon In Nashville, TN
Tethering means the balloon is securely anchored to the ground via a series of ropes and carabiners. Then the hot air balloon ascends above the ground and climbs to a height of 50′ or less. During a tether ride, passengers climb aboard the aircraft for a short ride. This is ideal for people with fears of flying or heights, or for kids who may not have the attention span for a full flight.
Shared & Private Hot Air Balloon Rides In Tennessee
Tethers are popular for corporate events, weddings, family reunions, fairs, summer camps and any other kind of large event. Tethers provide a beautiful backdrop for your event, as well as fun for those attending. We can generally fly 50-75 passengers per hour. We are hired on an hourly basis and event hosts can sell tickets if they like.
Minimum of 2 hour booking. $2500 for the first 2 hours and $750 per additional hour.
We will need a large, open area (approximately 300ft x 300ft) that is free of trees, power lines, light poles, and other obstacles, and guests will need to be capable of climbing over the side of the basket. As with any balloon activity, tethered activities are weather-dependent. Please call for additional details if you are interested in booking a tethered balloon for your event.
