Skylift balloon rides will soon be offered in Bayfront Park. This new attraction will give riders an opportunity to float 500 feet (152 meters) in the air for a 15 minute ariel view of the Miami skyline.
This attraction will provide visitors something other cities have long offered - a birds eye view of the city. Before, if you wanted to see Miami from above, you had to shell out upwards of $350 for a helicopter ride. Not anymore.
The helium-filled tethered balloon will hold 30 people. Plans are to charge $7 for children and $14 for adults.
Following the City’s approval, Miami Skylift will construct the balloon ride next to the fountain in Bayfront Park. For information call (305) 444-0422.
