The end of summer will be here before you know it and the final days of August marks the end of one of our favorite pop-ups this summer: Balloon Story! There are so many reasons to visit before it closes on Aug. 24th.

Here are just a few reasons you have to snag tickets to Balloon story before it’s gone for good! Make the rest of the summer a memorable one at this inflatable wonderland!

1. The Photo Ops

Go from the Tropics to the arctic – the cheapest summer trip you’ll find is at Balloon Story! There are colossal versions of international landmarks such as Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. Or pose in an inflatable cab you can actually sit in. (It was the easiest time we ever had hailing a yellow taxi!).

No matter what room you enter, you will be IG & Tiktok ready! The sheer size of the balloon sculptures and the amount is amazing to see. So step into this oasis that transports you to so many places all in one space.

2. The Balloon Aquarium

One of the most transporting rooms was the Aquarium room! This visual spectacle had balloon jellyfish hanging from the ceiling, which was covered in balloons! The different colorful fish and the creativity of the room was magical to be in!

3. The Location / Venue

Balloon Story is located at the Park Avenue Armory located on the Upper East Side and it’s a historic venue built in the 19th century. The stunning architecture of the Park Avenue armory on the outside is a marvel but the space inside has been a community staple for the arts in NYC. So head over to 643 Park Ave. (accessible by plenty of trains) and enjoy Balloon Story while it’s still here this month!

4. The experience is for everyone

Over 50,000 people have seen the oasis right in NYC that is, Balloon Story! This majestic experience is for everyone and children under four-years old attend for free! There are also family bundle packages.

For seniors 65+, students and those who are disabled there is also a discount on tickets. The experience is also wheelchair accessible!

5. The reviews

Don’t believe us? Balloon Story has gotten rave reviews that are out of this world! Below are just a few:
