National Balloon Museum Reopens August 2 | Des Moines News

The National Balloon Museum in Indianola is roaring back with a multi-stage reopening starting August 2nd — kicking off with a free ribbon-cutting and Hall of Fame induction at 11:30 AM, showcasing the newly renovated Big Sky Hall. The comeback follows a March 2024 fire that damaged the building during ongoing renovations. While the main entrance is open for celebration, other galleries will continue updating through late 2026. Mark your calendar — it’s a historic moment for balloon lovers and museum supporters alike. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
