Once your Balloon Museum dining event ticket has been processed, there are no refunds.

BALLOON FIESTA IS A WEATHER-DEPENDENT EVENT. While early October weather is generally ideal for hot-air ballooning, strong winds or storms may delay or cancel balloon events. 

However, even if the balloons are not able to inflate, the other programming still occurs such as vendors on Balloon Fiesta Park, fireworks in the evening and dining events at the Balloon Museum. 

Balloon Museum dining events at the Balloon Museum are rain or shine;  the meals and access to the museum are still available.

Please review our Cancelations & Refunds Policy.
