I heard that it was interesting because you can see everything from up there but it isnt too impressive. Its rather crowded too so beware of other people cause you may end up with some rude or strange people aboard [:

I'd wonder whether she'd be able to see over the edge.

I'm hoping to try this on Aug 29th when we are in DTD. I'm not sure if your DD would like it or not though? It might be something fun to try for you!

We went last year. It was okay. I had fun but I don't think I would do it again.

Also- the sides are pretty high. I don't think your daughter will be able to see unless you hold her. We went on a pretty windy day (it was actually closed for most of the day) and it was hard to move around without having to carry a child around.

I did this in October. It was amazing how far you can see. It's great for taking pictures so far up. You would have to hold your young child in order to see. There's not much moving around up there. Whatever spot you are in that's kinda where you stay for the whole time up. The ballon does move around so you will get views from different sides. Also the guide will take pictures of your whole group together up there. I'm glad I did it but probably won't do it again because I've already done it once.

We paid $16 each but I think it may have gone up a little.

I think I read $18 for 10 & up. Under 3 free, but can't remember about kids 3-9.
