We were first time flyers and will be back! Check in with Jason and Kelly was easy. And they were great with kids... extremely animated and exited kids! And our instructor....WOW! Allen was personable, professional, charismatic, and quickly put our fears to rest. What a great instructor he is! (This is clearly his calling!) Our driver, Tony (fingers crossed I got the right name!), was just as helpful and reassuring thru the glass to help us get the most of our flight time. Colin was helpful at check out and great with kids (kids who were high from flying!) As we were leaving the entire family was already talking about the next birthday to celebrate at IFly! Thanks Allen, Tony, Collin, Jason, and Kelly for helping us celebrate our birthdays! read more

iFLY - 2 birthdays! Thanks Allen! - Skydiving Near Me - Austin, Texas

AMAZING! I have never been sky diving, but WOW. I went on this adventure with my mom and I won't lie... I was a bit nervous. We paid for 4 minutes of fly time each and then an extra $10 and the instructor flies you up to the top at the end... THIS IS A MUST!! We each went for two minute sessions and at the end of the second, the instructor will fly you up to the top. This was truly one of the most amazing experiences. I cannot wait to go again with more friends. I also would love to have a corporate event here. Don't pass this up! read more

First off, it's a bit pricey...second the uniform I was given smelled of body odor to the extreme:/....third, the flight time was one minute!! On to the positive! The instructor named Waz was(no pun intended) extremely nice and helpful! If you can select instructors I highly request him! The flight experience was incredible! read more

iFLY - Two instructors flying - Skydiving Near Me - Austin, Texas

Took a family vacation and decided to try indoor skydiving. We used a coupon that we got from one of the tourist pamphlet boxes at our hotel. It was a twenty minute drive from downtown. We had training instructions and they helped with gear and provide complimentary lockers for small articles. The experience was a blast. Our instructor was energetic and helpful. It felt safe because there are grates on the top and bottom so your limbs can't get hacked off like on a Mission Impossible movie. Because I'm an old lady at 40, my body totally felt sore like it took a beating from the 100 mph winds the following day. My teenagers and husband also loved it. It was about $70/pp plus tax but the coupon helped. I would definitely do it again! read more

Great customer service from Jack. Front desk! Unfortunately our entire couldn't make it but jack went out of his way to accommodate us a d gave us a great package deal. And save a little bit of money!!! Definitely coming back! read more

I was a first time flyer. Drew was the instructor for the group and he was awesome!!! His solo flight after our group went was by far the best that we've seen while we were there. It was truly artistic. The check in process was easy and fast. The waiver is online and can be done before arrival is what we didn't. The waiver is really scary honestly and reading it in it's entirely can scare you away but don't let it!!!! You can add flights and high flights with the instructors at anytime while you are in the tunnel so if you just purchased 2 flights and enjoyed it and want more no worries just let the instructor know. On the second flight before jumping in I added a high flight. Here are a few things important to know that takes some time to find on the website. 1. Wear shoes with laces!! 2. If you are brining minors that are not yours (lmbo) just send the link to their parents and it's done online maybe 5 minutes or less to complete with a photo ID scanned but they didn't ask for that part this time. 3. The instructors will teach you what you need to know and coach you along in the tube. 4. Scariest part is going in for the first time and the wind taking your breath away but it's just like sticking your head out of a car while driving.... No biggie. 5. Instructors accept gratuities. 6. There are 3 computers there to select photos and videos and they are emailed to you instantly. Easy process, scan wrist band, select what you want, verify information and email then send. Some people may say this is expensive but I feel it's worth the money because of the instructors. They are in the tube with people of all ages and weights and they just don't float in the tube while people flail around in there lol read more

Pretty cool if you want to escape reality because you can't adult so if that's the problem escape to IFly it's where you go if you have marriage and bipolar problems read more

First time experience doing indoor skydiving! All the staff were very friendly once I walked through the door. Greg our instructor was extremely helpful for my first flight. All the instructions were very clear and he made it very fun. If you haven't tried indoor skydiving I highly recommend iFLY and ask for Greg read more

One of the best iFly locations in the world for experienced fliers, though still great for first timers. They added a light game for experienced fliers, and have VR headsets for folks who would like to feel a bit more like they are skydiving. This location trains many of the instructors, so most everyone is a highly skilled instructor. read more

iFLY - VR skydiving simulator - Skydiving Near Me - Austin, Texas

Went for my birthday. Had been wanting to go for a while now. OMG they didn't fail. Greg was our instructor and was super nice. In our group we had a range of flyers myself 33 my partner 33 my mother ?? (Not gonna put her age) and my little cousin. Greg did an amazing job helping all of us out in our different levels. I for sure will be going back soon. This is for sure a must do. read more

My son tried this for the first time and was very nervous. His instructor (Hank) was amazing and helped him feel comfortable and tried anything he could to make the experience memorable. The wind coordinator (Austin) was very calm and helped him relax. read more

I just went to checkout iFLY on a friend's recommendation. I figured it would be fun to try out indoor skydiving. I ended up, after watching for a while, not trying it out. Why? Not because of the staff.. but because of the clientele.. who apparently were members of the Zeppelin Fleet in a former life - one of them possibly might have even been the Hindenburg. I understand as an avid skydiving fan that if you are.. shall we say.. of robust frame.. that you might get turned away from trying out *actual* skydiving.. So of course it would be natural to reason that you should try indoor skydiving... WRONG: The reason you can't skydive is because you are not in a proper state of athletic conditioning to attempt to do so. This is coupled with the fact that given your mass it is unlikely you would be able to sustain a landing without causing injury to your knees, hips or other lower extremities. What this means is that until you are in better shape you should NOT attempt these activities. What this does NOT mean is you should stuff yourself into a iFLY suit and attempt this activity in a vertical wind tunnel. The staff was getting noticeably exhausted trying to keep these human dirigibles aloft in the tunnel.. they were also rude to the staff. Like their attitude was 'How dare you not treat me the same way as someone who weighs only 100 pounds'. Now mind you I saw NOTHING to indicate the staff was treating these people any different than any other customer, but I was just so disgusted, put off and oddly amused by the events that transpired I found it overwhelming. I ended up leaving. If you want a free show.. feel free to stop in.. but if you want to have fun as a family, might I suggest mini-golf? read more

Be careful. I DO NOT have a history of shoulder locations but iFly totally messed up my shoulder, which I am still dealing with weeks later with PT. When I asked for a copy of my signed waiver they could not produce it. I called, and also came back in person. When I came in person it took 20 mins for the staff member to get me a blank copy of the waiver-- and he looked at me like I was an alien when I asked for the form with my actual signature. I never got it. Otherwise: fun, but too expensive. Especially considering the potential for injury. UPDATE! It's been 2 1/2 years and my shoulder is still messed up. Yet no Dr. can help. Avoid! read more

Crazy good experience. If you can afford to take this little trip it only takes 1-2 hours, money well spent. Literally an experience you cant find anywhere else short of jumping from a plane. Our trainer was Winston. Great job, good patience and does a good job explaining everything and making you feel comfortable. Fun for people of All ages, even saw a couple 5 year old kids. Experienced or not, its fun. read more

I had my sons birthday party here and they were so awesome. The room was already decorated when we showed up (I took the decorations to them the night before). The kids did their training with the flight instructor and they even let the parents skydive as well. They played the Imperial March for us on the speakers throughout the facility when our hired Darth Vader showed up and made his entrance. Plan your next kids birthday party here. read more

My wife and I went into this not knowing what to expect. When we left, we were both exhilarated. As it turns out, indoor skydiving is an incredibly thrilling and visceral experience. It is awesome. The staff here was helpful and top-notch. They're great at keeping frayed nerves calm; they're funny and informative and not at all overbearing. You're in good hands from the moment you walk in the front door to the moment you walk out. As for the experience in the tunnel: you just have to experience it. You feel like you're truly flying, without the terrifying heights or danger. And if you do the virtual reality option (highly recommended), the sense is heightened even further. My VR experience took place jumping over the Swiss Alps and I'd be lying if I said my heart wasn't thumping just a little bit harder than it did during the regular flight. In short, if you're considering this, DO IT. It's a really fun way to spend an evening. read more

My family and I went to iFly for my husbands birthday. We had a great time! After being extremely nervous, as I generally get motion sick on rides, I can't believe how much I loved it! Ben Wells was our instructor. He was absolutely great. Ben put our minds at ease with his friendliness, flight knowledge, and all around badassery! We can't wait to go again read more

iFLY - After learning about hand signals, safety etc I definitely recommend the high fly add on! - Skydiving Near Me - Austin, Texas

My wife and I flew for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and now we're hooked. The feeling itself is amazing, and the progression opportunity is super exciting. What really makes it is the staff though. Drew was our instructor and he shows a lot of care for the people he guides. His passion and excitement is infectious, and when paired with his excellent teaching skills, it guarantees a good time. Overall, i think iFly runs an amazing operation and I'm really happy we discovered it! P.s. imo "indoor skydiving" is short-selling it. You are flying rather than falling, which is so much better. read more

My GF and I had an amazing first experience. The couldn't be better; super friendly, knowledgeable, and very experienced. Winston was our instructor and he made the experience so much better than we were expecting. The entire time was a blast. He he had us laughing and having a great time we were with him. I'll definitely be going back there and hopefully go at time when Winston is there again. Make sure to add the high flight to your package. One word of advice, chill . read more

People did have friends/relatives taking pics/videos their is room to sit and watch the show:) Tony was another instructor who seemed equally awesome! read more

I was nervous going into this experience but excited. I had no idea what to expect. It was amazing! Parking was easy, check in was easy. Very little wait time, you get an appointment and they were very organized. After a little instruction you suit up and get ready to fly. It's so much fun! When offered the inexpensive upgrade to go up high with the instructor holding you, SAY YES! Before you leave you get to send yourself the photos and videos on a little kiosk. It's really so well done and fun. Great way to spend an afternoon with friends!!! read more

Wife and I celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary here and had SUCH AN AMAZING TIME!!! From the moment we walked in the door everyone on the staff made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Gotta hand it to our instructor Winston! The guy was incredible. Very fun, exciting, and chilled individual with a great sense of humor. He definitely made this experience for both my wife and I one to remember for ever. Thank you to all the staff at iFLY (especially Winston) for such a memorable experience! We will definitely be back with our kiddos very soon! read more

iFLY - Skydiving Near Me - Austin, Texas

Our family of five was gifted the 10 flight pass from Kris Kringle. We redeemed it eleven months later and it was awesome. Oliver was a wonderful instructor for all us first timers, including with our eight year old twins. Highly recommend families use this package. It includes videos of your flights. We will be back! read more

I cannot begin to tell you how amazing our flight was. We observed some of the most caring and passionate professionals who greatly desire you have a wonderful experience. We met Jordan as our flight instructor. He was absolutely the most awesome instructor and so much fun to work with. Their clear direction made this time easy to follow and successful. We WANT to go again and that was mostly in part to the team of instructors. As a side note, if you have anyone (of ANY age) who are hesitant, these guys were amazing. I watched one young man, so very fearful and wanted to quit, get coached and encourages to continue. Jordan did a phenomenal job of building his confidence and he continued his flight and even did the second round and did great. We also watched another young instructor work with a very young girl and she was so scared. He got down on one knee and talked to her so sweetly. He gave her confidence in his ability to fly with her. She even went to high fly one her second round. So sweet to watch and we all clapped and cheered for each other! read more

Wow - we had a blast. Waz was our instructor and he was terrific. We took the whole family of 12, from age 6 to grandparents, and everyone had a blast. Waz was very patient with everyone, making sure that everyone was safe and confident. Lots of fun. read more

This was a birthday surprise for my boyfriend, who wants me to jump out of an actual plane with him (something which neither of us has ever done)- this was my compromise. I surprised him with 3 flights and a virtual experience and we BOTH ended up loving it. Such a rush! We have been bit by the bug now...we want more. The prices are steep, but given you are working with experienced divers in the tube, in the end I feel it was worth it, and the staff was all very friendly and nice. Definitely get videos &/or pics of your experience as you will have your belongings/phone/camera in a locker. read more

What a awesome experience!! This was our 2nd visit last year my husband and i went for date night. This time we were able to come back with our 3 small children because we purchased a return flight from our first visit. Both times were great and the staff was always helpful and friendly. Our instructor was GREG he was so patient and kind with the kids. My 7yr old was very scared but he got her flying and she had a blast!! I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back again !! Thanks you ifly!! read more

iFLY - Skydiving Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very cool place to hangout and learn new skills as well as improve in those that I thought I knew.

Had a great time! The facility is impressive and clean. Staff are incredibly well-mannered and accommodating. They realize that the idea of floating around can be a little spooky, and were more than supportive for some of the younger ones in our group. They took their time to explain things and answer any questions. Staff aside, the experience of indoor skydiving itself was awesome. It's definitely an indescribable feeling, I recommend giving it a try. read more

What a trip! It was a first-time experience for everyone in our group of 6, and the staff and facility made it fantastic. We visited on a Sunday and used the Costco package, which I recommend ($39 for two 90 second flights plus a video of one of your flights). Check-in at reception was quick and easy. The real value was in our experience with the instructors. All the instructors were professional, attentive, and upbeat. Our instructor, Luciano, was fantastic -- funny, punctual, communicative, focused on us and uplifting. Given we had first-time nerves and two 5-year olds in our group, his overall demeanor was comforting and allowed us to have a great time. He had us under control the entire time and set a great tone of encouragement and respect. The overall experience is awesome. We all thought it was a rush, and strongly recommend coming here. read more

iFLY was so much fun! I went on a group outing with my coworkers yesterday and we had the best time! You get a fun little "flight suit" that's pretty much just a onesie with handles on the side. You get brief instruction and then you get to jump into this wind tunnel with an instructor and fly around. I'm sure it's not as fun as real skydiving, but it's certainly not as horrifying as well. So, you have that going for you. ALSO, it's like all guys that work here. And just about every single one of them were easy on the eyes. Spending a couple hours with hot guys and having fun? Yes please :) Totally worth a try. read more

Well Yelpers, I tried to look to you first on this one...but it seems we beat you to it this go around! This place is awesome. I really can't rave about it enough. It's extremely well-run and organized - not a place where you just show up & wait around forever (unless maybe you don't make a reservation!) We went for our first time this past Saturday and it was great. I'd allow two hours (total time spent) for your sign-in, orientation and flight time, in case anyone is wondering how long it takes. I guess it could be longer if you have a huge group - the time it would take for more people to take turns. We were in a 4-person group, where my boyfriend & I went two times each, and the other girls we were with went 5 times for 2 mins each time. But they have it all worked out and it flows like a well-oiled machine...truly minimal on the chaos aspect, which was nice. They do seem to care about your experience there. The 'dives' were really REALLY fun. Definitely a crazy adrenalin rush - we couldn't stop grinning afterwards. I can see how you would want to go back to learn how to do advanced movements, since your first time is more of a practice run where you're learning body positioning. Our instructor was Trevor and he was super nice, professional and very encouraging. It's cool to see what the instructors can do in between sessions (where they jump in the wind tunnel & practice their advanced moves.) You get to see everyone's jumps while you wait, but watching the instructors do complicated moves is really cool - has to be a rad job perk. It's kind of on the expensive side but totally worth it for a special occasion. I think it's safe to say prepared to be a little sore afterwards (not radically though). Really can't recommend this enough. ps. if you're wondering, you're always in the wind tunnel with an instructor (a good thing). So if you think you & your shmoopie will be getting in there to do some somersaults your first time there - not so much. Still exhilarating though!! read more

It's a new year and people are trying new things, so it was a happy accident to find a deal at Costco for two one minute flights, video, and equipment rental for one for only $39.99. That's a 41% savings from normal costs. I grabbed it and booked a time slot online, proud of my newfound confidence. They ask you to get there 45 minutes early to watch a short video and suit up before take off. The instructors honestly could not be more fun. I had Waz and he was the sweetest. He walked us through the chin up, elbows out, legs straight, and smile! speech and told us to all relax and have fun with it. You suit up, throw in earpieces, slap on googles, and a helmet and are then all moved into the chamber. The doors close in place once in as to not disturb the outside with the gusts of 165 mph winds. When it's your turn you walk to the edge and sort of leap into your instructors arms and they do their best to guide you in place and help you have fun. I took a breath, said a prayer, and went. And... Hated it. Every single agonizing second of it. All I could think was out, out, out, GET ME OUT!! All the steps in my head jumbled together, wind was slapping my face, a full on panic attack took place, and it was all I could do to suffer through the full minute. I have terrible posture and hunch a lot at my desk so I was having a hard time keeping the position. My back was killing me and all I could feel was pain. I leaped to freedom when my time was up and decided then and there I would not take the second flight. I had already paid for it and I even added the extra $10 to "fly high" where the instructor takes you to the top and down again three times, but no amount of money could put me back in the chamber of torture. I was so embarrassed to have to tell people to go ahead of me in line and when the instructor finally realized I was hiding he got everyone to clap to try to get me back out. It was very sweet but at that point all I could think about was getting froyo on the way home and crying while I cuddled my dog for comfort. I didn't go out again, nor did I get the $10 back, but I'm still proud of myself for trying. Hey, it's not for everyone and I just happen to be one of those people. I did like the atmosphere and how kind and supportive they were, but this girl is going to stay firmly planted on earth from here on out. I walked away with my printed flight certificate, my pride, an aching back, and a snickering husband. He does not fit the height or weight requirements so he was unable to do it with me. He was pleased instead to film my shame from the sidelines. I still think you should try it if you have been thinking about doing so. It's different for everyone and you could end up really enjoying it. It is a truly unique and one of a kind experience. read more

Went here for the first time courtesy of Google. I've always wanted to skydive and this was the perfect opportunity to try the experience. The iFLY building is easy to find as it is along 183. They even have an Amy's Ice Cream next to it. GG. The check in on the 1st floor was easy and the air tunnel is on the 2nd floor. Going to the 2nd floor you get to see everyone watch in amazement as an instructor and iFly-er float in the tube. Before you enter the tunnel, you go with a group for a 15 minute training video. Your instructor will also teach you a few basic hand signals (PAY ATTENTION TO THE HAND SIGNALS). If you don't, you will have a hard time floating. After the training session, you put on the baggy suits, goggles, and helmet. As I waited in line for the tunnel, there was anxiety and I could start feeling a little adrenaline rush. The minute I entered the tunnel, massive wind just started blowing in my face. My body was moving everywhere even though I was trying hard to stay still. Eventually the instructor was able to get me in the proper position and taught me how to turn and go up/down. It was exhilarating and I really did feel like I was flying. Before I got into the tunnel I was worried about people watching from the outside, but once I got in, I hardly noticed. We were given two tries in the tunnel, each about 1 minute and 20 seconds long. The second try the instructor flew me up higher in the tunnel. Getting out my body was a little sore and my cheeks hurt a little from the constant blasting wind. Seeing my group members fly was also awesome and we all applauded one another after each try. Overall very satisfying experience. Thanks Google!!! read more

Enjoyed my flight experience here! First, all of the staff were super friendly from check in to post fly. The process is quite easy - check in on screen, talk briefly with check in person, go up stairs for a safety video (4 min), get suited up and fly! I went during a slower window, which was awesome. You can tell the two flight instructors love their jobs. They coached me through the process well and make sure I had fun. Since it was a slower window, one gave me a show of his flying skills after I went. So cool! I highly recommend for a date night, friends outing or family-friendly activity. I'm going to propose this as our next work team outing! read more

I once was in a tragically boring relationship with a couch potato. We broke up (yawn) and I recently started dating an adrenaline junky that always pushes the envelope. Let me just say this: I'm terrified of everything. I turn the sound down during videogames so that I don't get startled. I check the oven 3 times to make sure it's off after cooking. I drive EXACTLY the speed limit. So, I thought, "what is the best christmas present to impress my boo and to test my own limits?" then I signed my life away to iFly. It was an INCREDIBLE experience, terrifying, hilarious, and thrilling. I will never EVER do this again and don't even mumble about skydiving for real because this made me feel like I was dying. But it was a once in a lifetime thing. The instructors were AMAZING and funny and laid back. I surprisingly didn't pee myself. Only complaint is that those damn windsuits make everyone look gross. Improve those, please? :) read more

What an amazing experience. Can't say enough about the staff here. First, I needed to change my reservation time. Jordan made that hassle free. No problem. Came in and worked with Eli. He was fabulous and gave us a great show at the end! He took his time and worked with the kids and answered all of their questions. It was my kids second time around and my first time. Can't say how awesome this place is. Thanks IFLY Austin for an amazing and truly u forgettable experience. Will be back again for sure! read more

Beautiful and brand-new facility! First impression: great customer service from the staff. The girls at the front were really friendly. There were 4 computers on the right wall for you to check-in. The process was pretty quick. Our flight time was at 7:30 and we were asked to show up at 6:30. I thought the first 30 minutes was a waste of time because the "training" didn't take place until 7pm, we just sat around and watched. The "training" wasn't very helpful either... we watched a video and then the trainer asked if anyone had questions. Took about 8 minutes. I would appreciate more instructions/ information for the first-timers. Pricing: a little ridiculous. A family pack of 5 is around $260 gives each person 2 flights of 1 minute each... Quite pricey if you ask me. But since they are the only provider in the area, they can monopolize the price as much as they want Overall, our trainer was really nice and professional. He gave us a short show afterward. I had a lot of fun with my cousins. But because of the price, Im not sure if I would do this often. TIPS: You dont really have to buy their photos and videos, your family/friends can really close to the tunnel and they can take all the pictures/ videos they desire. ALSO, for "frequent fliers" within the past 3 months, they upgrade you for an extra 2 minutes (so total of 4 minutes of flight time for free). The trainer will also teach you extra tricks! read more
