This is my first review EVER and I am writing it only to say how phenomenal our instructor Waz was. I was with my friend and our two six year-olds and it was incredible!!! read more

Had a great time! Luciano was a great instructor & very personable. I felt very safe & really enjoyed it!

Luciano did an incredible Job with my kids! Helped instruct my daughter and son to the point where they were very comfortable and they had an incredibly fun time! read more

Nick was our "guide" for flying and he was really fun, took control of the situation and made sure we all had a great time. He had a great sense of everyone's capabilities and for those that seemed to be apt at "flying" he gave those members space to get that air and fly around. I think all the trainers/guides were incredibly knowledgeable from what I saw in the tubes and would highly recommend them. You won't regret spending extra for the high fly as well. read more

Our Instructor, Luciano was AWESOME! Very kind, thorough and gentle. We took our 6-yr old for her 1st flight and he took her under his wing (literally!) and made her feel comfortable and kept the fun going throughout the flight. A++ service! Will fly again and will ask for Luciano. Excellent experience all around. read more

Its a little overpriced, but understandable for the equipment and staff needed. I went there for a birthday present with my family. It was a lot of fun! read more

We had a great time and Justin was an awesome instructor. I would highly recommend a trip to iFly Austin!

This was so much fun... I can't wait to go back. Our instructor, Justin, made it fun and was great at helping us do better. Yes, it's a bit pricey -- but I'd still recommend this to anyone. Make sure you pay the $10 extra to be taken up to the top of the wind tunnel... you don't want to miss that experience. Pay attention during the training -- it's amazing what a difference the slightest adjustments of the chin, hands, etc. can have. read more

This was amazing! There are not enough excited words to describe how much I enjoyed this experience. My mom bought my dad and me a flight pass for 2 one minute flights each last Christmas. Life kept getting in the way, but fortunately the passes/gift cards/sessions do not expire. We went tonight, and this is the closest I have ever come to my dreams of flying. The building is clean and neatly organized. When you arrive, you sign in and do your paperwork, including signing your waivers. Then you go upstairs to the flight area and watch a short safety video, and listen to a short lecture from your flight trainer on body posture, hand signal communication (very simple, no worries here), and safety. Our main instructor was Kirk Artman, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was lovely. Fun, personable, and easygoing, but a very clear and direct communicator. I wasn't nervous at all, but saw him going out of his way to be lighthearted and make a few of the more nervous people comfortable and calm. He didn't even balk when a cute little girl kicked him in the head. That's patience. Your instructor will help you find the properly sized suit, helmet, and goggles. You'll be provided earplugs, as well. Use them according to the instructions! Also, don't leave any long hair free flowing, if possible. I had flat braids under my helmet, and that worked well, but next time I will also tuck up the long ends (so tangled!). The tunnel definitely gives you some sensory overload, as it is loud and unlike anything I've ever felt before. Kirk's signs and instructions were very clear, but sometimes I had trouble trying to get my body to listen to my brain! Still, I felt that I was able to improve each time I had my turn. We had some extra time at the end, so were able to buy an extra flight ($20). I even was able to go up quite a bit higher by myself, by then! If you have the inclination, I definitely recommend getting the "fly high" add-on. For $10, the trainer will fly you up to the very top of the tunnel three times. SO FUN. Definitely felt like flying. That part was handled by a separate trainer on our trip, Javier, I believe. He was also kind and professional, and clearly knew what he was doing. I felt completely safe through the whole experience. At the end, Kirk personally demonstrated some tunnel tricks for us, including what looked like running straight up the wall. Someday! We purchased 6 min flight/training sessions at the end, with definite plans to go back and improve. When you're done, you get flight certificates from your trainer, which I liked. It's a cute souvenir. I also kept my wristband. The only downside is the expense, obviously. However, for the uniqueness of what it is, and the sheer joy of flight, I find the price doable, even if not every day. If you can, do this! And ask for Kirk. Seriously, he's awesome. read more

A group of us from the So. Austin Senior Center did this as a field trip and what an adventure! This is probably as close to sky-diving as I will get but Waz made the experience so positive with his outgoing personality and sense of humor. I want to do this again (and maybe again!) but particularly with my grandkids. I work in guest services so I know what it's like to deal with various types of people - all the employees at iFLY were exceptional in that regard. read more

I went with a diverse group ranging in age from 32-82, and everyone had a wonderful time. Our instructor had a great sense of humor and made everyone feel very comfortable and had us laughing in minutes. He was patient, and made the older flyers very comfortable and at ease. We would absolutely do it again! read more

I never thought too much of this place, but recently my kid has been showing interest in trying it out. I finally gave in and took them to iFLY. Well... I just want to say that it was GREAT. The instructor was very nice and all the people that worked there looked like they loved their job. The place had this very friendly atmosphere from the employees to the customers. I could tell everyone was having a great time. My kid had a blast flying and I had fun watching them. We will definitely come back. read more

This place is awesome! My son had a blast. Greg the instructor was great! Would recommend to everyone and will be returning

So, so, so much fun! I took my 16 year old niece and decided to fly with her. First time for both of us. Our instructor, Greg, was super fun, friendly, and helpful. I am a (slightly more than) middle aged woman and was nervous before my flights. But honestly, I felt super safe, but definitely challenged in the wind tunnel. It was exhilarating. So much so, that we bought private lessons immediately following our flight and booked them for the next day. read more

My husband and I had a great time at iFLY! Our instructor Ignacio was very informative and knowledgeable. He's awesome! Thank you iFLY for this wonderful experience. Please reconsider coming to Atlanta. We would love to have you! read more

The instructors are awesome! This was a great experience that the whole family was able to share. We had one scared and risk adverse child who after one flight became excited to do it again. It was a fun activity that everyone will continue to remember and talk about! read more

Yesterday I decided to use my Groupon deal for i fly. This was my first time doing anything like this due to my fear of heights. I made my reservation over the phone it was a fairly simple process. Although you have to get there 45 mins. to an hour before your flight time. Not a big deal. The only problem I encountered was not being clear direction from the lady downstairs who checked me in. So when I got upstairs there are lots of people around watching, waiting, and flyers alike. So I saw a line of people at the counter getting suits, helmets. Naturally I joined the line when I reached the front of the line, the guy rudely blurts out What did you need. I responded back in the same tone as to what I needed. He then told me I had to first take a class and I should go and wait in another area. After that things seemed to flow a lot better. The first try was okay as your getting a feel for how it works. But the second time around was awesome. Our flight instructor Thomas was the best. After everyone had completed there second flight. He then goes in and does lots of stunts as we watch in amusement. This can easily become an expensive hobby but a well worth it hobby. read more

Our daughters had so much fun at Ifly. The instructors were great, and the experience was a real thrill for them. I really like the whole process. Charlotte was especially helpful when we were trying to retrieve our videos - our family loves them. read more

very expensive - the "get your wings" package cost $59.00 plus tax and this entitles you to 2 minutes in the wind chamber. really 2 minutes, they told me this is equivalent to 3 free fall jumps out of a plane. you would think they would give a half hour for this price. not so much. very deceitful. read more

Amazing experience! My parents have been trying to get our family to do it for 2 years. We went for my Mom's birthday. I took photos and video, my parents soaked it in and 3 adults over 45 and my daughter flew. Everyone loved it. The staff made it super fun and explained it all. My daughter was very glad she waited to do it. She is 12. I agree the fly to the top should be part of the price. Let them know if you get dizzy so they don't spin you around as much. Awesome to think we can even do this safely. Sorry to hear others got sick or dislocated a shoulder - we had Daniel and he was in tune with each person. Even turned people around for a good photo. Went to a party last night and two 16 year olds happen to be talking about it. They thought it was very fun and different. Lots of kiddos there on Sunday. I was watching and many little ones tried to swim their way to flying which does not work. Many did not look happy. I would wait until your child is at least 10-12 before going unless your child is focused, calm and athletic. read more

It was a fun experience for sure. I have been real skydiving before and this wasn't as fun/thrilling as the real thing but it was a lot cheaper. iFly was fun nonetheless. My 5 year old really wanted to go so I went with him. He had a blast. 5 starts for him. My 5 year old isn't good at spelling so he can't leave a 5 star review. Sorry. It was a 4 star family fun fest for me. GREG our instructor was great. He is a true asset to iFly and with his rugged good looks, skunk like beard, and boyish charm I couldn't imagine a better instructor. I imagine with all he has going for him Greg will do some great things for humanity. He also likes food. So if you think real skydiving is too much give iFly a try or take your kids they will like it. Also I am a big time tightwad but it is definitely worth the extra $10 for the "high fly" with the instructor. Open the wallet up and let the moths out and pony up the extra $10. read more

I was so disappointed in iFly Austin. I was coddled like a child and didn't really get to experience the flight at all. I spoke with friends my age and they were "let go" for a portion of the flight and were allowed to fly without being held onto by an instructor. One of these friends is a stroke victim and has a slight disability, yet he was given more freedom of flight than I was. I am in good physical condition and healthy. When I viewed the videos of our friends, and their entire flight was videoed, I experienced another disappointment. A very brief portion of my flight was videoed. My friends were also taken all the way to the top of the "canister", which I paid for but it never happened. I firmly believe I was given the newest instructor and therefore did not get a good flight. When I was asked if I wanted to purchase future flights for half price, I declined as I just couldn't see doing that again at the Austin facility. read more

Too bad I did not get to enjoy the experience. Very dissatisfied with the customer service. My fiancé and I were supposed to meet with friends for a B-Day party. The event was supposed to be held on Saturday October 24, and I called on Thursday the 22 at 4:22 PM. I gave the receptionist my name and the group that was flying. She did ask if I had been there before, and I replied no. I had to give my credit card information first and then was instructed to be there at 10:30. There was no mention of policy or cancellations, she already had my info. And as I had stated earlier, I have never been there before. Today I receive a call at 10 am on Saturday stating that my class had already started and I would have to pay because I did not cancel within 48 hours. The receptionist said that I was informed about the cancellation. I assured her this was not true. She did ask if I wanted to go in the next group at 11 and they could push everyone else back because of me. I told her that would defeat the purpose of going with my group. Then I was asked what was the name of the group that I was supposed to be flying with. I replied and she said, "well they are not going till 11 and to be there at 10:30". We still have the problem of adding my fiancé to the list. So not to waste money I decided to let her take my place, but she declined and said it would not be fun. So I lost out on $64.90 for cancelling. I did not do my homework on their operations and polices. Shame on me, but false information on a business transaction is stealing in my book. If I could not make it, I would accept that. Ifly called me to tell me that I was late for a session that I was not even suppose to be in. Mistake on their part. I feel I should be refunded my money due to their mistake, I did not take part in any of their services except for harassment over the phone. read more
