Hot Air Balloon & Brunch for 2
$525Up Up and Away in Your Beautiful Sunday Brunch Balloon Ride!
Sunday Sunrise 2-1/2 to 3-hour champagne toast balloon ride for two followed by brunch. You will be picked up at a meeting site in Chester County and taken to one of 6 launch sites (depending on wind conditions). Then your Air Venture begins as an experienced crew unfurls a brilliantly colored nylon aircraft.

Once aloft, you might feel like a celebrity as you wave and talk to the curious, intrigued and just-a-bit envious people left behind on the ground. A sense of romance prevails as you land quietly in a grassy field or a tranquil park. Be sure to bring your camera!
At the end of your ride, you will be delivered back to the meeting site. Then head to brunch at Liberty Union Restaurant, famous for its all-American comfort food. You'll enjoy a yummy brunch of shrimp cocktail, carved meats and made-to-order omelets, and a Mimosa or Bloody Mary.

Your group has knocked off mansions like this in the past, but you have only 60 minutes to find the clues, hidden doors and tools to allow you to crack the safe. You will need logic, instinct, critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and intense observation to succeed.
