"Three seconds for $90 & a crying tween"

Reviewed June 29, 2019

I took my 12 year old son and his friend to iFly in an attempt to research for his birthday party. when we arrived, they upsold me on an add-on for a 15' experience with the instructor. My son went second in the wind tunnel and immediately flinched in pain. He asked to be taken out and was sobbing. He sat with me while his friend had their turn. NO STAFF MEMBERS CAME TO CHECK ON HIM. Inside the tunnel, his friend was asked if he wanted to take my son's extra turns. NO STAFF MEMBERS ASKED ME IF THIS WAS OK and no staff members offered to try to help my son try again. I guess iFly figures that the waiver was signed and anything that happens after that is too bad for the customer.

"Great fun - short lived though"

Reviewed February 20, 2019

We had a 4pm reservation on President's Day - turned out to be a popular flight time. There was a party of Tweens that were also flying that day so it was kind of loud and hectic when we checked in. The flight suit that goes over your clothes was comfy, the helmet and the glasses they give you were also well fitted. You sit through instructions and then wait your turn. All in all, you spend about 5 minutes for 2 flights the other 55 minutes is spent getting dressed and undressed, attending the tutorial. Wishing the flights were longer but there are so many other people waiting!

"More fun than jumping from a plane!"

Reviewed February 11, 2019

We got some gift cards for Xmas and did a 10 flight family outing this last Saturday. It was me 46, my gf, and the kid (boy, 14). From signing in to getting geared up, the staff were friendly, polite, and professional. All the gear you need is supplied. Then, we watched a short into video before our instructor came in a reviewed the information with us. Nothing was rushed and we had ample time to ask questions. Out instructor also checked in with each group to double check what package we had and how we wanted to proceed. Then it was time to fly! We lined up, entered the wind tube, and everyone had the chance to watch as we each had our turns flying. I might have been the only person who had skydived before, and I gotta say that this was much more fun! Less gear, less waiting, more flying, no worries about landing, and no weather delays. Our instructor (sorry, I forgot the name, but he looked like Ricky Whittle) was right there guiding us and giving feedback, making sure everyone both had fun and learned safe techniques. After we all had our go, the instructor was given a minute to show off what a lot of practice can achieve! Very cool! The youngest in the group looked like she was 4. They ask several times about shoulder and neck issues. My shoulders were a touch sore after our flights, but were fine 2-3 minutes later, just keep that in mind if you have a history of shoulder issues. I don’t think I’ll make this my new hobby, but I definitely want to fly again!

My friend and I went on a Wednesday and it wasn’t busy, they were able to fit us in without a reservation. It was our first time going and everyone was so lay back and friendly. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back again! I do recommend doing the add on for $10 especially if it’s your first time trying it because the add on is really what you imagine it’s going to be like

"Fun but expensive"

Reviewed January 22, 2019

This was something my son (16 yrs old) wanted to do for his birthday. We let him go with a friend. They absolutely loved it! The staff are funny, intelligent, and patient. They made the experience so much better for my son and friend. The only downside is the cost. For about 4 minutes of "flight time" ( 2 flights and a VR flight) it was about $130. The boys did have a great time and it looked like a lot of fun! I would recommend the experience away least once.

"Two minutes! That is crazy for the price."

Reviewed January 15, 2019

Two minutes?! No way but it is true for 90 dollars or something. The guide is new to his job so he almost crashed a flyer in the tube. Anyway, I believe they should let us fly for 30 minutes.

Not what I expected. I enjoy the real thing much better. It was uncomfortable to do but once you were up, it was fun, very short. Was disappointed in the video as it was only on their site and difficult to download and staff wasn’t very helpful. I tried it but would not do it again.

Great experience. I was there two days during the Christmas week and took my sister for her birthday. Heather the manager was first rate with customer service. She helped provide a special high fly since it was my sisters birthday. Both Sasha and Tony were great instructors. I would love to try the virtual reality next time and recommend buying the discounted repeat flight experience to save a few dollars.

"Harder and more tiring than it looks....but you're in good hands!"

Reviewed December 11, 2018

For 2 one-minute flights you spend a few hours at this facility, but you're handed off from check in to equipment to training to flying to the final high-fives and review of photosvideos by a team of experts so you won't feel rushed or impatient. The flying experience is definitely much easier to watch than to do - and the experts make it look SO ready at the end you'll want to go back again. And there's good value for money repeat visit pricing if you're interested. Andre was our main "in-tunnel" handler and he did a fine job. Extra tickets for photo and video download were also provided - a nice bonus at the end of a fun afternoon.

Reviewed December 09, 2018

Wasn’t sure my granddaughter would like to fly so we went there to check it out. Super helpful Heather had someone take us upstairs and show us the tunnel. Another person actually went into the fly tunnel to show us how it looks. She said she wanted to do it so we went downstairs to set up a date. We were told that the coming Friday was their holiday party with special prices. We bought a ticket. Friday night was great. They had a DJ, pizza, drinks, candy, and raffles. My granddaughter was able to have 4 flights. She had a wonderful time. We did win a raffle for a free return trip. She can’t wait to return.

This was my 6-7th time going and I love working with Ash (instructor). He was very easy to work with and personable! All the staff are awesome! This is a place and activity for people of all different ages and for any event, whether for an office party, date-night, or getting the kids out of the house. Ash has been working with me for a couple of months and I’ve progressed rapidly since then. Jason was also key to how fun and awesome this experience has been, if you don’t check it out you are totally missing out on an great time! I go every month and it is worth every penny!

Went on Thanksgiving Day, the Shamaalinas had a blast. We were the only ones there although more folks were present by the time we left. We got the 4 flights and a video, a bit pricey but there are discounts applicable to future flights. There are Black Friday discounts that offer significant savings. The staff is professional, eager and clearly focused on participant safety. I have never been sky-diving but I imagine this is the next best thing.
