Experience New Mexico Tourism at the Ballooning Capital of the World While you are wanting to make your itinerary for your New Mexico tourism vacation getaway be sure to consider a trip to Albuquerque to see the International Balloon Museum! Everyone will have to be present the first seven days in October when the Balloon Fiesta is going on. For nine full days there are balloons soaring over the sky of the city in a brilliant display of the more than 700 balloons that enter the event.
Including over three hundred resident balloonists living in the Albuquerque area you will be able to observe balloons throughout your stop. In fact, you can probably book a flight to go up on one from one of the many operators in the area and see the beauty of the city from the sky.
If you stay for the Balloon Fiesta be sure to stick around in the evening so you can see Balloon "Glowdeos". This is where the balloonists’ fire up their propane burners to inflate the balloons against the dark sky which makes the whole sky aglow with psychedelic light bulbs! There are also different styles of some of the balloons that you will appreciate experiencing. There are dinosaurs, bumble bees, flowers, a stage coach and cow jumping over the moon. They all go up in a mass ascension of "special shape rodeos" for your viewing.
While you are in the area make sure to stop at the International Balloon Museum one of the top New Mexico attractions. You will be able to learn about ballooning, the science, culture, history, sport and art of the flights while you are visiting the Museum. It's easy to find since it is right on the edge of the field.
The price of admission is reasonable so you won't have to select just one event, you will be able to attend many and still have enough cash to eat while at the park. There are food vendors throughout the city to take care of your hunger pains while you are there.
Because you are going to be arriving in October you are going to want a jacket for the mornings. It will be around forty degrees during the morning flights and warm up to around 70 as the day progresses. Dress in layers to be able to remove some when you get to hot. Be sure to bring sunscreen with you since are at a high altitude and there is a risk for sunburn. Wear comfortable shoes, you will be walking and standing a lot so might as well be comfortable. You should bring lawn chairs into the field, unlike a number of events today. If you carry a large backpack with "treasures" be ready to have it inspected before you enter the park.
This is a fabulous event so make sure you plan to attend. Remember that a New Mexico vacations can be more than looking at museums and canyons; you can also look to the sky!
