It’s not too early to think about special plans during October’s Balloon Fiesta. Tickets go on sale for popular museum dining events and fundraisers at the Balloon Museum on April 5, 10am. 

Albuquerque, NM – The Anderson Abruzzo International Balloon Museum Foundation prepares to open ticket sales on April 5, for the very popular, The Observation Deck, VIP museum dining, views and fundraisers during Albuquerque’s most iconic October event, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, ™.  Guests will be able to enjoy exquisite dining and superior views of Balloon Fiesta from the comfort of the Balloon Museum. Attending Balloon Fiesta and adding a VIP element is on a bucket list for many people. The Balloon Museum, added to the overall Balloon Fiesta Park campus in 2005, is the closest balcony view of Balloon Fiesta. The Observation Deck dining experience is accessible and elegant with indoor comforts and  breathing space for people who appreciate a less crowded, but very special experience. A portion of the ticket prices are tax deductible and support mission related operations at the Balloon Museum Foundation. 

The Balloon Museum Foundation is proud to partner with outstanding local eateries, Slate Street Cafe and M’Tucci’s to provide full elegant dining.  Libations are provided by local favorite Red Door Brewing, and a special partnership with local winery St. Clair Winery.
