100,000 Balloons Transform PIER 290 Boat Showroom into Larger-than-Life Immersive Experience 

Get ready to start Buggin’ Out. The annual Balloon Adventure returns to PIER 290 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for its third year, with its boat showroom transformed into a colorful, crawl-worthy world of oversized bugs and playful surprises. Running March 19 – 29, 2026, the all-ages event features more than 100,000 balloons twisted, sculpted and linked into towering bug-themed installations. Guests can explore hands-on science elements and photo-ready moments designed to spark curiosity and joy.

Each year brings a new Balloon Adventure theme, and this year’s bug-inspired experience invites guests to step inside a whimsical world where creativity runs wild and no two corners look the same. Families, friends, tourists and curious kids of all ages can explore interactive displays, learn through play and capture one-of-a-kind photos along the way.
