Need Balloons?

Pure Joy, Inflated

There's something undeniably magical about a balloon. The way a child's eyes light up when one floats into their hands. The instant transformation of an ordinary room into a celebration. The simple, soaring happiness that only a balloon can bring.

Happiness on a String

At Enchanted Forest Toy Shoppe, we're Telluride's only destination for helium balloons in all their glory. Whether you're after classic latex, shimmering mylar, playful patterns, or long-lasting high-float options, we've got what you need to make any moment feel special.

Need Balloons?

Up, Up, and Hooray!

Birthdays. Parties. Surprise celebrations. Tuesday afternoons that need a little extra sparkle. Whatever the occasion, balloons make it better—and we're here to help you create those floating moments of joy.

We offer a wide selection of latex and mylar number balloons for birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations of all kinds! To ensure we have time to create the perfect arrangement, please order at least 24 hours in advance. While we'll do our best with same-day requests, we can't always guarantee them since balloons require careful prep and attention.

Please note: We only fill balloons purchased from our shop, as outside balloons often aren't compatible with our helium system and can pop under pressure, wasting precious helium.

🏷️ Pricing

How much do balloons cost?

Pricing varies by balloon type and size. Standard latex balloons start at $3.50, while mylar balloon pricing depends on size and design. To learn more, please scroll down for pricing details, contact us using the form on this page, or stop by our store in Telluride for specific pricing on your order.

Is there a minimum order requirement?

No minimum! Whether you need a single birthday balloon or dozens for a big celebration, we're happy to help.

Do you charge for helium?

Helium inflation is included in the price of each balloon when purchased from our shop.

What is high-float treatment, and do you charge extra for that?

Hi-Float is a special liquid sealant applied inside latex balloons that helps them float 2-3 times longer than standard balloons. It's perfect for events where you need your balloons to last all day (or longer!). We offer high-float treatment for an additional charge.

Can I get a quote for a large balloon order?

Absolutely! Email us with details about your event—number of balloons, types, colors—and we'll provide a custom quote.

How far in advance should I order balloons?

We recommend ordering at least 48-72 hours in advance, especially for larger orders or during busy celebration seasons. However, we'll do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible!

🏔️ Balloons at 8,750 Feet (or Higher)

Do balloons float differently at 8,750 feet?

Yes! At Telluride's high altitude, helium balloons actually have more lift than at sea level. However, they may not float quite as long due to the thinner atmosphere. We use high-float treatments to help extend their float time.

How long will my helium balloons last?

Latex balloons typically float for 8-12 hours (longer with high-float treatment), while mylar balloons can last several days to weeks. Altitude, temperature, and balloon type all affect float time.

Can I get balloons filled with helium that I purchased elsewhere?

We're happy to fill balloons purchased from our shop. Unfortunately, we cannot fill outside balloons due to quality and safety standards.

Can balloons be taken outside in cold weather?

Cold temperatures cause helium to contract, making balloons appear deflated. Bring them back inside to warm up and they'll re-inflate! We recommend keeping balloons indoors during Telluride winters.

🎈 Balloon Options

What's the difference between latex and mylar balloons?

Latex balloons are biodegradable, come in more color options, and have a classic look. Mylar (foil) balloons hold helium longer, feature fun designs and characters, and are more durable.

Do balloons come with string or ribbon?

Yes! All helium balloons come with your choice of curling ribbon in various colors. We can also provide longer strings or specialized ribbon upon request.

What sizes and styles do you carry?

We stock standard 11" and 16" latex balloons, various mylar shapes (i.e. hearts, stars and numbers) and character designs, and specialty patterns. Visit us in-store to see our current selection, which changes seasonally!

Do you offer balloon weights?

Absolutely. We have decorative balloon weights available for purchase to keep your balloons anchored exactly where you want them—perfect for tablescapes, entryways, or outdoor celebrations.

Can you create balloon arches or garlands?

While we specialize in individual balloons and smaller clusters, we're happy to discuss your vision and let you know what's possible. For elaborate balloon installations or large-scale arches, we can recommend local event professionals.

Can I create my own balloon arch with balloons from your shop?

Definitely! We can provide the balloons you need along with recommendations for DIY balloon arch kits and tutorials. Just let us know your color scheme and event details.

🚘 Balloon Delivery

Do you deliver balloons?

Currently, we offer in-store pickup only. Balloons are ready for you to take with you or can be held for same-day pickup.

What's the best way to transport balloons?

Keep balloons secured in your vehicle—preferably in a larger space like an SUV or back seat. Avoid letting them touch hot surfaces or get crushed. In cold weather, transport them carefully, as they may temporarily deflate but will re-expand indoors.
