Great experience learning about ballooning, early aviation, the sport of ballooning and science and history!My children remember visiting this museum at a very long age and wanted visit again when passing through Albuquerque as late teenagers.The museum is affordable and even free on Sundays when we visited.There are different exhibits with actual artifacts from historical ballooning and world record achievements and attempts. There are hands on science demonstration stations for children. There is a balloon simulator with a wide panoramic screen, learn about knots, weather, and more. The weather exhibit was especially interesting discussing clouds and storms.We will definitely visit again in the future.

Fabulous place to explore the history and splendor of hot air balloons and balloon aviation.Many hands on exhibits and a hot air balloon simulator to try. One of the nicest museum gift shops anywhere. Very enjoyable experience. Plenty of parking available.

Is this the best hot air balloon museum in the world? Ive never seen or heard of another, so it might technically be the best.Has quite a few true artifacts, and reproductions of a bunch more. You can learn the science, engineering and history of ballooning here. Since weather is so important to navigation of ballooning they have a good exhibit here on how weather works. History is what I learned the most from.More modern, they also are adding drone racing as an interest supported by the museum. That was a surprise bonus.

Fascinating walk through balloon aviation history. Make sure to navigate your way through the many displays off the main area of the museum. Also a snack bar on the 2nd level. Fascinating !

A very unique museum for out-of-towners like us. Check their website for the free Sunday and also the drone racing days.
