Hot air balloons do not fly during the day’s heat; therefore, after the morning competition, the balloon field gates remain locked until 4:00 p.m. This is the perfect time to explore our vibrant community. Trails, shopping, dining, breweries, and wineries; Indianola and Warren County have much to offer.
Check out some of the great things to see and do in Indianola at https://experienceindianola.com/. Or visit Hotel Pommier’s at https://indianola.hotelpommier.com/.
In addition, our fantastic capital city is just a few short miles away, and there is no shortage of things to do. For more information, visit: https://www.catchdesmoines.com.
No trip to the National Balloon Classic is complete without a visit to the National Balloon Museum and U.S. Hall of Fame, which is home to over two hundred years of ballooning history. Visit https://www.nationalballoonmuseum.com for more information.
