Element Narrative
The Smart Play Breeze provides younger children with multiple ways to play. Children can start their balloon experience at the ticket window, the perfect place to enter the world of their imagination. Children using a wheeled mobility device can easily interact on either side of the window allowing them to fully engage in pretend play. The transfer steps provide an accessible route to the slides and balloon basket above. Children will enjoy sliding with their friends on the Double Slide or sliding out of the basket using the Single Slide. Children have an assortment of ways to climb into the hot air balloon basket. They can use the belt bridge from the transfer stairs or use either the Cloud Belt Climber or Rope Wood Plank Climber. Each helps build overall body strength as children climb. Breeze encourages STEM education through several counting play activities and cloud imagery. Caregivers can prompt children to talk about the weather and its effect on a balloon ride. Finally, children can take a bit of a breather by hanging out in the tunnel or sitting on the seats under the balloon with their friends. Every child will find a place to play in the Breeze!
