We did the iFly experience on New Year, January 1st, and we had a blast as a family. It was such a fun activity for us. We got to experience skydiving; flying indoor in the tunnel and it was very short (2 minutes flying experience and each person got to fly twice) The place was clean, the staffs were friendly, our instructor, Braxton, was helpful and was able to answer our concerns and questions. We loved it so much we decided to take advantage of their promotion package price after our first flight experience. We'll be back!

Fun place to sky dive! Great instructors! They were so helpful and made a great experience sky diving! We upgraded to the better helmet and free pictures. The helmet was nice, but getting the pictures and videos was not convenient, you have to choose everything and purchase, then they email you the information later.

First time!

Such an amazing first time experience! Came here to celebrate the BFs bday on July 4th and definitely one to remember! It can be a bit intimidating at first, but once you do your first flight, it can get addicting! I booked online. Each person gets a minimum of two flights in a package. You can definitely buy more if you prefer. After your first visit, you get a certificate, which allows you to do more "difficult" stunts/tricks the next time you visit. You get instructions from an instructor before you suit up and put all your gear on. All from how you hold your hands and feet with all the signals and cues. You even can get pics and videos of your flight experience on their website after. I suggest also adding the "high" fly to your visit as well. Thank me later

This was an experience. I love heights, roller coasters and climbing. I have always wanted to actually skydive, so this could have been considered "baby steps." The actual occurrence was way more difficult than I thought it would be, and a lot less fun. When you come in, prepare to step on a scale... They need to know your weight for technical reasons, but that wasn't a good start for me. Only the check-in attendant sees your weight, but still. Then after a long wait we went into a classroom environment. There were five hand signals that you needed to know. As well as a short video you were required to watch. This was followed by a "suiting up" process where you are given what looks like a penitentiary jumpsuit, earplugs, a stocking cap and a helmet. Then you need to lock your personal items away... And then, finally a very long wait time in an airlocked glass chamber. During our wait the instructor yelled in my general direction "if you are not smiling, I will kick you out of here!" Power trip much? If I wanted to be yelled at for hundreds of dollars... There are particular adult places for that. Not my thing, so I didn't appreciate that. I am rather shy, so I was not thrilled that there were spectators for what I knew wasn't going to be a flattering showing for me. And it wasn't. Clad in my gray jail jumpsuit I looked like a physically challenged, clumsy, flying squirrel up there. Still the "flying" was a novel experience but very strenuous. Attempting to keep my body straight while in the air was something I wasn't prepared for. Also, we were told to "relax, but stay perfectly still." At the end of the session we were presented with certificates. A nice touch. As we were leaving we were offered additional return trips at a discounted price costs, but you had to purchase them right then and there. We didn't opt for them because we hadn't properly processed the entire experience yet. We were still reeling from adrenaline and unsure how we felt about it yet. We also don't tend to respond to pressure to decide on the spot. We had already spent close to $300 on the expedition. So three days later... We are dealing with excruciating back pain, from holding our bodies in a form that it wasn't used to in an unnatural environment. Based on the instructions, constant coaching during the sessions and the threat... The business model seems focused on getting repeat visitors. Offering skills and a basic understanding of the sport, rather than maximizing participant experience by making sure that they have an enormous amount of fun the first time. In the end, we got pictures and a video of us soaring through the air and a chance to do so, which is not a thing most of us do every day. So I will end this as I began... It was an experience.

Time to finish up the weekend with getting some air time!

It's disheartening when you make reservations 4 months ago to show up and they won't honor the package that was purchased at another Ifly, after letting them know what we purchased, where we purchased, and how we divided the time down amongst 3 flyers. The front desk clerk was nothing but a human shell with blonde hair and attitude. The manager was not worth even dealing with. We will never be back. We will continue to go to the Ifly in Jacksonville, and we will have our family and friends from the Charlotte NC area meet us in Jacksonville from now on. The instructors were amazing with the other two people we had in our group, but 3 teens that have been going to the Ifly in Jacksonville for a few years now weren't able to fly.

Great experience and fabulous staff!!! We were looking to try this activity out since we saw the ad on IG when it was being built a year ago. Finally had a Saturday free and reserved two spots for the kids. The reservation and check-in were simple. The staff on the phone and at the desk are awesome and patient. The process of getting fitter and trained were smooth. We opted for the upgraded helmet and they were so on top of everything we reserved. The observation area is well thought out and cozy. Plenty of seating and not a bad view in the place. We loved the instructors being patient w/ our kids and ensuring they had a blast. The stunts and high flying demo done at the end were amazing! Can't wait to come back and have the whole family fly with Jake T and iFly!!!!

IFly is so much fun! It was a great experience. We went to the iFly in Atlanta and wanted to try it again. This location is much smaller than the Atlanta one. While our experience in Atlanta was great, it was so fast paced. I think that's because it was so busy. The entire experience felt rushed. We didn't feel rushed one time in Charlotte. When we checked in, we were asked if we wanted to upgrade our package. We opted only to upgrade the helmets because we wanted the visor instead of regular goggles. We were early so we had to wait for our group's turn. When it was time, our instructor introduced himself. We got our gear. They offer lockers -- you have to put all personal items in the lockers. Then we went to a classroom to watch a tutorial. Our group went into the tunnel. When we purchased our session, we chose a higher flight. The higher flight is always done on your second turn. I definitely would recommend it! It's so much fun! At first, it's scary then it just feels crazy. Afterwards, they give you time to take pictures in your gear before turning it in. Then you receive a certificate. You can purchase pictures and videos from the session, which are posted on their website. Masks are required. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would definitely return!

This is a very unique experience for all ages from 3 years old to as old as you can be. For a mom of a teenager, it was worth the drive and cost to make a great memory with my 16 year old son. There aren't a lot of things we do together. We joined a group of active seniors from Cabarras County. I Fly offers great group rates for parks and recreation groups, especially when offering multiple trips. Many in our group were flying for their second time. Upon arrival the flight instructors performed spectacular airborne acrobatics. Just know you are not going to be able to master that on your first visit. I recommend doing at least two flights on your first day as you will progress and be able to fly higher. You'll have clear instructions delivered by your experienced and patient flight instructor prior to flying. All it takes is following directions and floating like you're in water. All equipment is provided. No jewelry. If you want to keep on your wedding ring etc you'll be given gloves. You can wear your glasses if you need them, your goggles will cover them. Shoes should be closed toe and secure on your feet. They can't have stuff flying off. Safety is practiced before all else. Parties can be scheduled here in side rooms. There is also a weeklong flight school and guess who wants to do that? My son!

My wife planned this activity for us to try during her birthday month. From standing on the outside of the building you can tell your are in for a treat. Upon arrival we are checked in and weighted. Yes, weighted to ensure you don't exceed the limits for flying. After that we checked in a small room and handed our jumpsuits to go through the drill and understand hand signals when in the air chamber. It seems easier than it looks but it's not that easy. You're impaired in a small group of maybe four others on this date we had two other couples and the mother and daughter and boy was it fun you're sealed into the tube chamber as one person goes at a time immediately you're thrust into the air having to remember all of those hand signals moving your arms legs head up. But it is a true adrenaline feed once you get the hang of it you're able to balance and turn on your own. I would highly suggest paying extra to go higher and also capturing a photo and video for the moment. After going a few times it is addictive and I can see myself paying for a membership to this place it is fun the employees are professional and patient while you learn the trick to flight.

The gear they provide. Helmet, suit, goggles and even shoes if needed
Megan P.

This was an amazing experience. My boyfriend surprised me with this gift for my birthday this year. We got there and you have to sign a waiver. Then they call your group with the time class you ordered for. They provide you with the gear needed for the flight. They provide a helmet the jumpsuit, goggles and shoes if needed. They put your group in a class to watch a 10 minute video on safety and the hand signals you need to know. They after the video is over the instructor will go over the hand signals again and test you on them. You then enter the wind tunnel. The winds go about 150mph and you feel it! The instructor takes each person in the tunnel one by one and holds on to the person to make the person comfortable. They will use hand signals to try to get your body in the right position needed for you to fly high and get comfortable. The time goes back quickly. When I was in the tunnel I found it intense and I was just trying to figure out the best way to breathe with all of the wind in my face. It was a great experience and I will go again. I was able to do two flight which was worth it because the first time you go in you are trying to figure out how this works and then the second time you are trying to get comfortable. The more you go the better you will be. But if you haven't done this I would definitely say try it because it's a great experience. I enjoyed this because the instructor had control the whole time and if I wasn't doing something correctly they instructed me on how to correct my form in the wind tunnel. I will definitely go again and I will bring a group with me. We had a variety of age groups in my group we varied from age 8-40 yrs old. The youngest you can do it I believe is 3 and there were some you kids there in another group at that age. I loved doing this and I will be going again!

Ready for takeoff!

Today I went with my four year old son and a friend of the family to experience iFly for the first time. The facilities, staff, and experience were all way beyond expectations. Our instructor, Jake, was amazing and very talented. The way that he worked with the adults as well as the kids was very professional and very relational. Thanks iFly for an amazing day!

iFly Indoor SkyDiving in Concord. Heading here tomorrow as a birthday surprise for my brother Matt. Looking forward to it!

See all

Completely unresponsive to multiple calls regarding concerns. Go to Paraclete in Raeford for a much better experience!

Truly an amazing experience! Nothing like I expected!…read more The team at Skydive Central are family. It's a small weekend business and this is not their only means of income, so they aren't out for the money and therefore they don't make reckless calls. If there's any chance of a safety risk, they put you first. Our jump had to be rescheduled due to weather conditions, but they worked with us to get it on the books, and when the day came, they made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. They walked us through the process and answered all of our questions without hesitation. Once cleared, we geared up and up we went! If you purchase the video option, they take snippets along the way to build a video story. Our jump was on a very clear day, so once the chute deployed, they explained the sights as we floated down. We had a clear view of the Charlotte city skyline and we could see parts of Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. The freefall from 10,000 feet was quick and before I knew it, my chute was already open. I enjoyed the ride and the landing was cake. It was a wonderful first jump experience and I would not hesitate to do it again.

My cousin came in to town to visit and decided that we were going to do something different. After…read moregoogling around for a bit I came across Skydive Central and gave them a call. They were already booked up because it was such a nice day but Kelvin was nice enough to fit us in with such a short notice. I have been skydiving 5 times in different states and have had some great experiences. The whole staff was very friendly and did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable but most importantly safe. Our instructors Rob'O and Matt did a fantastic job and were true professionals. Coming from someone that has done this a handful of times. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking to jump. This summer will consist of many more visits from me and friends. Great job !
