Creativity In The Air.
Here at Bard Balloons, we create spectacular, bespoke, lightweight hot air balloons in Ottawa, Canada, since 2009.
About Us
Bard Balloons is a Hot Air Balloon Manufacturing Company operating out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and servicing the entire ballooning community. We manufacture under Transport Canada’s “amateur-built” category (also known as “experimental”) to similar standards as Type Certified balloons and we pride ourselves in exquisite designs and top quality workmanship. Making balloons this way offers us flexibility to create almost anything you can imagine as a hot air balloon. We offer hot air balloon design services, as well as new manufacturing of full-size and model balloons, repair and/or rebuilding services.
