Great Forest Park Balloon Race

It’s a must have experience if you are in St. Louis, at least once in your life time. Very beautiful. Kids will love it.

My dad flies here every year and we just have a fun time

So worth it. Next time we will by the wrist band pack more bug spray and plan to stay all night

Lots of vendor's. Very exciting. Will come back again. We drove 4 hours to come see the Golden Knights and the Balloons

Lousy. No singer for the Star Spangled Banner, no announcement, no one stood up, no one put their hand over their heart. Food trucks! Food lines were terribly long. Food vendors were sparce. I wanted a funnel cake. Never was able to get one. Someone scattered the food vendors as far from the activity as possible. There were drones flying everywhere. Very obnoxious. No energy. The entire event was blah. Mostly agenda. Some balloons took off, but that was the most lackluster thing. It seemed that everyone went through the motions, but no one really cared about fun or excitement, which were both missing. When leaving, the police direction was terrible, basically forcing people to tour the park, making traffic worse for everyone. The police appeared to be incompetent. There was no coordination between them. They did not seem to know or care where they sent people, and had no idea how to direct traffic. Their efforts only created more congestion.
