Highlights
  • 1752 Freedom Dr - Arrive at iFLY Naperville in Chicago, 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.

Great family activity - Took our kids to Ifly and had a great time. Staff was very professional and made the children at ease doing an activity they hadn't done before. Directions were clear and easy to follow for the kids resulting in a great experience. The staff also did a great job with safety. Kids are 10 and 11 and both and a terrific time. Highly recommended!

Overall a fun experience but obscenely overpriced and super short flight times. - Very nice facility with friendly staff members. All of our reservations ran smoothly and we were fitted with our flight gear in a timely manner. We were all first time flyers in our group. Seeing good form by the instructor first hand and then one on one critiquing our form for a first short flight would have been helpful. Solely having correction by the instructor or the tunnel operator via hand signals doesn't progress you very quickly IMO. Also, they really need to go over basic form and theory for forward, back, up, down. None of that was covered other than trial and error while in the wind tunnel. The pricing is obscenely too expensive for the short time you get. Full price for five minutes came out to be over $28/minute. The "deal" we found came out to be just over $23/minute. They offer a deal only available to buy while there before you leave to come back at a discounted price of approximately $12/minute. But all the minutes have to be used in the same half hour session. So if you opt for 10 minutes you can divide it up between flights. But you still just dropped over $120 if you choose to buy 10. For me that is minimum amount of time I'd choose. Everyones preference will vary but one minute is barely getting started for me. Overall a good experience but if you want to progress to doing acrobatics you better work there or be prepared to drop some serious money. Apparently the pricing is going to be revised soon. So I'll check that out and I might consider going again if it becomes more reasonable.

Excessive wait yet great experience - Despite having a reservation and completing the necessary waivers online in advance of arriving, the wait to actually experience was extensive due to one of the iFly teams using the facility for practice simultaneously. There were 6 people who were waiting for their iFly experiences and after each individual one minute flight, the team would jump in for practice, which amounted to more time than the typical 60 second flights. The constant interruptions in the customers’ experiences caused lengthy delays for them AND the six people behind them, who also had reservations. Clearly the iFly competition team’s practice took precedence. None of this was stated online. This could actually be unique to iFly Naperville as we have not been to iFly at other locations. But be forewarned, your activity may take much longer than stated on the website exclusively due to an iFly competition team practicing during your reserved time frame. On a positive note, the instructors were all kind, considerate & helpful. Our group with various ages from ages 9 to 50 had an excellent experience.
