The Balloon Museum Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that believes in the power of the Balloon Museum to inspire visitors to do amazing things.
The Foundation hosts a variety of special events and unique community outreach activities throughout the year to nurture an appreciation of the history, science, and adventure of ballooning.
We carry out our work in collaboration with the Balloon Museum to ensure that they individually and collectively achieve maximum effect. It is our hope that by presenting and promoting the exhilarating sport of ballooning, the Foundation can help lift the Museum, Albuquerque, and the sport of ballooning to a higher place.
What can I say about this place? It is perhaps Albuquerque’s finest museum. The museum overlooks Balloon Fiesta Park. The exhibitions showcase an impressive display of life-size balloons allowing visitors to get a truest sense of the grandeur.
