2025 Helicopter Rides

Higher Ground Helicopters of Cincinnati

Instead of taking a spin around Buckeye Lake by boat or car, why not see it all by helicopter? It’s possible during this year’s Sweet Corn Festival. Just follow the signs to the clearly identified landing/takeoff area just south of the massive midway.
 
Flights are 6 minutes in length and hold up to 3 people in addition to the pilot. Look for a large trailer that says “HELICOPTER TOURS.”
 
Midway Ride Prices:
$50 per person, per flight
 
Hours will coincide with festival operating hours, including nighttime flight up to 11:00 pm. Weather conditions could affect helicopter availability. Flight path meets FAA approval. Take the spin to see why the Sweet Corn Festival is “ear-resistable fun!”
