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.

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.

Hi Denny, Thank you for the update about the phone number. We have removed it from the listing. When we are informed of a new number change we will update accordingly. 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.

Please note that Johannesburg In Your Pocket is in no way affiliated with Mushroom Farm Park, we simply publish information about interesting places to go and things to see in Joburg - including parks. If you would like to know more about having an event in the park or about going on the balloon we recommend that you visit the park and talk to the staff there directly. Further more prior booking for the Hyundai Balloon is not usually necessary.

Good day I would like to have my kids party there on Saturday. Is this allowed? Do I need to let someone know of this if it is allowed? The number allocated for the park does not exist. Please advise.

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.

Hi is the park still in good condition for a picnic during the week? Does the hot air balloon still operate? I tried calling and no one is answering.

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

Hi Boitumelo, the city by-laws prohibit drinking in public places which means all public parks are off-limits if you want to bring your own alcohol
