Special to Independent Newsmedia
Hot air balloon operator Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon Ride Company has opened its new facility in Glendale.
Flyers are welcome to the new space, located at 7934 N. Glen Harbor Blvd. The nearly 14,000 square foot facility was built by Ganem Construction.
“We are excited to now be operating out of the West Valley and welcoming passengers to our new custom facility,” Scott Appelman, Rainbow Ryders founder and CEO.
Rainbow Ryders started offering hot air balloon flights in the scenic Rio Grande Valley back in 1983 and has grown to serve the Southwest, with flights offered in the Valley, Albuquerque, and Colorado Springs with its 40-balloon fleet.
Rainbow Ryders will be hosting a grand opening celebration in early 2024 along with a special promotion for flights.
