Philadelphia Zoo - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - After its predecessor was forced to be deflated due to irreparable storm damage, the Philadelphia Zoo introduced a new tethered helium ZooBalloon which allowed zoo visitors to "Soar Once More".

Philadelphia Zoo.

Climb aboard the Channel 6 Zooballoon and embark on a soaring-safari. Rise high above the treetops of the Zoo and overlook giraffes and zebras. Elevate to heights of 400 feet and enjoy spectacular views of Fairmount Park and the Philadelphia skyline. Guests may enjoy both daytime and evening flights on the region's lone passenger carrying helium balloon. Voyages last approximately 10 minutes.

Philadelphia looks particularly beautiful from the zoo balloon.

Fun fact: The first North American balloon ride took place in Philadelphia in 1793, with President Washington present at the launch!
