Balloons on a Tortimer Island tour

Balloons are items given out by Redd at the Lake (River Pool) on July 4th and Tom Nook will give the player a free balloon in his store during a sale (but not on Sale Day). Also, in Animal Crossing: City Folk free of charge by Phineas in The City or Happy Home Showcase players in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Balloons do not appear in the catalog in City Folk and New Leaf but appears in the catalog in Animal Crossing for 40 Bells each and sell for 10 Bells each. Balloons are held in the player's hand like tools, which means that the player cannot use a tool while holding a balloon. The balloons can also be placed in a house. If the players trip while running or falls in a pitfall while holding a balloon, they will lose it.

Balloons also appear in the Tortimer Island tour Balloon Hunt and are worth one point each when popped with a slingshot. In multiplayer, players may pop balloons of their color only.
