About Hot Air Balloon at Eckert's Tulip Trail in Belleville, IL
Join us for a special evening at Tulip Trail as three hot air balloons make their appearance among the blooms. Two traditional round balloons and one whimsical llama-shaped balloon will be set up throughout the field, creating a stunning spring backdrop you won’t want to miss.
The balloons will be on site from 4:30pm–7:30pm, with inflation scheduled between 5:00pm and 7:00pm. Watching the balloons come to life against a sea of tulips is a truly unforgettable sight — and perfect for photos.
There is no additional fee for this experience. The balloons are included with regular Tulip Trail admission.
Please note: This experience is weather dependent. If wind or other conditions are unfavorable, the balloons may not be able to inflate. Safety is our top priority.
Come stroll the trail, enjoy the evening light, and experience Tulip Trail from a whole new perspective.
