Johannesburg Hi Sakeena, if you would like to organise an event best thing to do is to contact Johannesburg City Parks www.jhbcityparks.com and discuss with them directly what are the restrictions and permissions you need etc.

Johannesburg Hi Perishka, the best advice is to visit the park in person and speak to the staff on site about age requirements and how to book a ride. The balloon is weather dependent and if the weather is very windy it might not be in use - again this is something that the staff at Mushroom Farm Park will be able to tell you more about.

In the meantime the best recommendation if you want to inquire about usage of the park is to visit in person and talk directly with the staff on site.

Johannesburg Hi Charmaine, Generally speaking the best thing is to go to the park in person and ask the attendants at the balloon. Their phones do not always work.

mayfair , Johannesburg Do not waste your time doing group bookings and if you are told to contact Maxine, even bigger waste of time she does not respond or answer her phone.. Rather pitch up on the day and go on the ride. Prebooking is an absolute waste of time and effort
