Huge tunnel. High winds…read more Really incredible team of coaches (Joe Greely & Mark Meadowcroft rule). Comfortable atmosphere. Incredible flying.

We brought our two boys here for their first skydiving experience. This was the first indoor…read moreskydiving place where I've seen four as the minimum age. We were going to spend the weekend in Cologne and Dusseldorf, and Bottrop was only a few more minutes north. I've been skydiving a few times, but have never step foot in a wind tunnel. The online booking procedure was a cinch and easy to book the times I wanted and navigate through the booking process. The facility itself is impressive and can be overwhelming, yet the staff and instructors are welcoming and are used to dealing with first timers. I originally booked the tickets for my two boys (5 and 4), yet my 4 year old backed out at the last minute. I was more than happy to take his place, so it turned into a father/oldest son experience. Our instructor (the name escapes me) was excellent and offered to give the lesson a second time in English for me and my son. The safety lesson video is in German (since we are in Germany), and I was fine with watching the lesson and translating for my son. However, our instructor took the time to give us a second go around, to make sure my son didn't have any questions and was comfortable; definitely above and beyond and well appreciated The flight suits for the children were pretty cool, as they have a choice of being Superman or Spiderman. Clearly, this shows they are comfortable with young children and are happy to have them there. The equipment (suits, goggles, helmets) was well maintained and clean, which made the experience that more pleasant. The instruction was great, and made me wish I bought another 10 minutes of tunnel time. I was most impressed with our instructor and the way he taught my son and another little boy. The best part are the wind tunnel certificates, which you can take back and get more experience, do more things in the wind tunnel, and perhaps move up to going in the tunnel by yourself. Overall great experience, great instructors, and a great facility. A+!
