iFly is an indoor skydiving simulation facility that is perfect for beginners who are a little uncertain about diving from great heights. This experience is more affordable and less unnerving than a traditional outdoor skydiving experience and helps you get comfortable with the freefall feeling.

This is also a great option for kids who are too young to dive from a plane – kids as young as four years old are welcome at iFly. Your loved ones can watch you from the observation deck while you experience zero gravity. iFly even offers Bodyflight classes so you can learn all about the athleticism behind indoor freefall.
