I was asked this the other day by my 2 year old Goddaughter... she has almost a phobia about them as she can't bear to see them fly off, normal balloons she is fine with...odd child
I told them they fly off to the North Pole, and Santa uses them on good kiddies really big presents that can't fit into his sleigh...
Where do you think they go?

They're slowly collecting in the stratosphere, forming an insulating layer around the earth.
I believe the latest hypotheses from the climatologists predict that by 2012 they will be the prime contributors to the greenhouse effect.

This won't help your goddaughter's phobia, but they usually fly off over they ocean, then when they lose enough helium they float on top of the ocean where the seaturtles mistake them for jellyfish, eat them, and then the turtles die. So people should really try to hold onto their ballons.

I like to write a note on helium balloons and let them fly. I've gotten back interesting responses from far away places, where they landed.

They gather around overweight people stepping on a scale for the umpteenth time, offering mercy to the outstretched hand.

They float a couple of miles, lose the helium and come back to the ground.
