Highlights
  • 11690 W State Rd 84 - Arrive at iFLY Ft Lauderdale, and get started by putting on your gear and going through a specialized training session from an expert flight instructor.

You’ll learn how to safely float in an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel that generates a wall-to-wall cushion of air - commonly used by professional skydivers - without having to jump from a plane. Just about anyone can fly, and no experience is necessary.

Once you’re inside the enclosed space of the flight chamber, a tunnel operator slowly increases the wind speed until you and your instructor are airborne. Feel the adrenaline rush as you float at wind speeds reaching 130 to 175 mph (209 to 282 kph). The stable wall-to-wall airflow keeps you from falling off the column of air, and your instructor is on hand at all times to guide you.

The entire indoor skydiving experience takes about 75 minutes from start to finish. Each session includes up to six people, but you fly one-on-one with your instructor for 60 seconds in the wind tunnel twice.

  • Access to necessary equipment and training
  • Two individual flights for one participant

Amazing Fun Experience Worth Every Penny - This was an absolute blast. You might think 2 flights a minute each is not a lot of time, but it seems like each time you are in there for 5 minutes. You will feel it in your muscles after but in a good way. Our flight instructor was Brian and he was a lot of fun. He had a really good spirit. Make sure you take advantage of at least one high flight. They do that first and it makes you feel more comfortable for the second flight. The instructor takes you on the high flight so he really is in control of it. We got one person who got really nervous and stepped into the doorway and decided not to do it. At the end of the first flight, he stopped the fans, and gave her the opportunity to do it. He had her just lay on the net without the fan going and then they started it up slowly till she got airborne and did great. It was good to really see them take care of someone in that way. Definitely something I would recommend doing and so much so my wife and I are now thinking of actually going skydiving.

Nice but too costly - The flying was excellent and staff was very nice. Wait time and cost wasn't that great. Pictures...make sure you have someone taking pictures and videos. I paid for mine and they never took them for one of the children and the other set was so obscured it was not worth the cost. Your phone pictures and videos will be much nicer!

Needs Better Quality and Professionalism - We enjoyed the experience, but they are not so organized nor upscale, which would make the experience better for adults. Kids do not know the difference about being upscale. Our uniforms and hats seemed dirty and overused. They pushed buying more things constantly. The worst part is that I bought a picture and video online and when I went to order using their QR code, it did not show up as paid already. Then I ordered more pics and videos and weeks later I have yet to receive a single item by mail or email or text. They really need to improve their quality and professionalism to make it a repeat experience.

Corporate ruins employees good efforts and experience - It is really sad when the employees put so much positive effort and the experience can be ruined without anything they can do. Sat the 12th my two sons and I decided to try ifly (1 hour drive) but looked fun. I booked online. After reviewing all the offers decided to go with the BUY 2 get 2 Free (flights). $105 for my two boys and I assumed I would have to buy a flight or two for myself but wanted to wait until I saw the experience (you know 55 and all). Getting there I was greeted warmly. Was asked what time my appointment was and I said 2pm and gave my name. Filled out the waivers, and all seemed in order and off to a good start. The front counter person said she could not find my reservation and asked if I had a reservation form to which I replied that I only had the purchase receipt (photo on my phone) but it had a web purchase number on it and she would be able to look it up with that. No joy, she could not find it and asked me again for the receipt. After looking at the pic on my phone she said this was not a reservation and called over a manager who explained that I had no proof that I had made a reservation. After a few minutes of arguing I capitulated and said I will just purchase it at the counter to which I was told I could not as that package was only available online. I asked him if it made any sense for me to go online and purchase it AGAIN, and charge my card again for them to tell me the form the system puts out is not a receipt. They asked if I wanted to purchase the more expensive packages they had at the counter. (this is me with a stunned look) :{ After more conversation and much frustration I capitulated and attempted to go online and purchase the package thru my phone. There were no reservation times left and it would not let me purchase it. The two employees behind the counter just stared at me and said they could not help me. At the same moment, I noticed another customer in the next line starting to get aggravated because they had made the exact same reservation and were having the exact same problem. As my face started turning red another manager came over and said he would take care of it. He did thank goodness. I this point I was not happy and decided not to do the experience myself and frankly was unable to get out of my funk to enjoy it with my boys. My story does not end there. During the experience, I noticed that everyone in the group was getting 2 minutes in the machine and my sons were getting only a minute. I went to the counter and was told that the package that I got for 4 rides was only a minute each and not the standard package 2 minutes each. I searched everything on the website and could not find any reference to a shortened time with the package I bought. I said this to the manager and he said "It is corporate" nothing he can do. This is most likely my first and last time at iFly and my boys really enjoyed it. It is really bad to mislead your customers and even worse to tie the hands of your employees to fix an obvious problem. I would like to say it would have been a 1 star except the employees were really great just had their hands tied with no ability to fix it.
