It was closed last week. However I went on a night flight and it was pretty awesome. It was a bit windy, so buyer beware. Tickets are absolutely free. But weather conditions can change flights drastically. Come early to ensure tickets. They will take people up in a helium filled balloon and see all around Irvine. I would take a night flight and a day flight to get both experiences. While you wait, there is a carousel, also free of charge, that you can ride. They have expansive park areas too. Sunday's, there is a farmers market.
