    We had a 3pm reservation and I think by 4pm we were flying! Jeff was our instructor and he was great, he's jumped out of a plane 900 times! They do an amazing demo and prioritize safety. A lot of young kids and families as well. Staff was very attentive.

    I fly was a pretty fun experience. The kids enjoyed themselves and I'd go back again.

    For an extra $20, you can go higher!

    What a great experience! Came here for hubby's birthday on a weekend morning, and reserved the first available appointment at 10:00 a.m.. Jose was our instructor, Drew was in the control booth, Bijan was the additional instructor that took us higher. Hubby has always wanted to do skydiving, but I refuse to jump out of a plane, so this was a nice compromise, and a fun experience. For this visit, we did a 10 flight package, that you can usually split up to five people, but the time was equally divided in our party of four. During our flight journey, all three instructors made sure we were safe, and gave us signals as needed while we were in the Wind Tunnel. I can't wait to do this again!

    Brought our kids here Friday for our daughter's 10th birthday and it was SICK! Easy to check-in, get ready, view the demos. Everything was super clean (except for the downstairs bathrooms but they just had a party of savage kids leave so you can't blame them). Jose was AWESOME!! Super nice, fun & knowledgeable! His coworker who controlled the air (we forgot his name ((sorry)) but his mom lives in Suffolk county as well as us) was super sweet, very observant of the kids and how they feeling during and after their flights! You guys were awesome! We're coming back! I'm brining my dad bc he thinks he's too old to skydive now! lol thanks guys! You really helped make our daughter's 10th super memorable!

    Flight Voucher (Gift Certificate)

    3.5 My daughter and I were gifted four flight vouchers each at iFLY two years ago. I've tried to make a reservation twice, at their other locations, but they never had availability, on the dates, and times, that I was able to go. Last week, i saw they opened at a brand new Queens location, in Long Island City. I just at this opportunity because there was a school holiday, this Monday. Once I called them, the process was rather simple--they took the voucher numbers and I made my appointment. They gave me the run down, they sent me a training video, to watch, in preparation of your flight. Upon arrival, we waited about ten minutes or so because the check in process seemingly takes quite awhile, While the flights were paid for because I had gift certificates, I opted to pay $20 extra dollars, for the high flight, which instead of just going 4-5 ft off the crowd, you will go about 10 feet off the ground. When you opt to pay the extra fees, it includes media, which allows you to get some photos and videos, for free. Otherwise, you have to pay $3.95 per photo or $7.95 for a video of your flight. If you opt for the high flight, you will also have to be weighed, prior to going upstairs. Once you're upstairs, you have to sit around and wait for your flight time. For instance, I had an 11:30AM flight time, but probably had to wait over an hour before actually being able to fly. You can put your items into a locker, which is provided, for free. Once the time got closer, we were provided the suit and helmet for the flight. The instructor went over the process, what to expect, and what to do. Once you enter the flight area, you cannot have your phone, leave the area, or stand up. My instructor was great, he explained everything many times over and was helpful while in flight mode. I struggled with it, but I had several friends do it, and they too struggled. It doesn't help that I'm 6'3, which also added to my struggles. My daughter got the hang of it and she had a ball. The downside for me is the costs. $160 dollars for four one minute flights is very high. you cannot share the packages unless you opt for the most expensive package. The best deal you'll get is, after you fly, you can purchase another flight package, that never expires for $80 instead of the $105 or $160 (two or four flights) As I mentioned earlier, this location is brand new, and is not fully opened yet. They will be fully opened in March, but I would say it's best to go now because their other locations never have much availability, especially on school holidays or weekends. Lastly, I would say do not bother driving because there's a lack of parking, but the 7 train is just two blocks away.

    I had my son's 6th birthday party here and it was so fun! Andy was our instructor and he was the best! He added a Happy Birthday message on the screen for my son which I thought was so cute! Everything from start to finish was very smooth. They provide pizza and non alcoholic drinks and decorated the room which was awesome! I only had to bring our cupcake cake. It was a very stress free experience.

    Great experience! Place was packed so our scheduled time was running an hour behind. With 7 high energy boys, it was insane how well behaved and patient they were, waiting for their turn. Our instructor Andy was pretty awesome, keeping boys engaged and timed the prep work well. Kids flew with the biggest smiles I've seen on their faces. The parents all had a great time swing the fun and joy! Cannot wait to go back a few more times!

    OMG!!!! This was an amazing experience!!! On the day of the flight i received a confirmation call what included tips how to get there, where to look for parking since i'm driving, arrive earlier to check in (yes it will take a couple of minutes!) ... but it is compensated by a super friendly staff, everyone is super helpful and communicative. And Adam - the instructor... he is a flying superstar we had a 4 flight/person session( book this one, it's worth it - and get the high fly option as well - listen to the girl at check in - you will need what she says!! When we git our brief training, Adam gave us the option to have 2 double-time flights or four 1 minute ones - we opted for the two minutes flight and that was definitely a good choice. One minute is not enough!! As far as instructions and safety - both the instructor with you and the one who is controlling the wind will help you by showing the signals, what to do, when to do it. They are very coordinated, they keep their eyes on you during the whole time - makes you feel safe. Also the show at the end by Adam was phenomenal! He makes flying and the tricks looks sooooooo easy Thank you for every of You that made this experience so great for us!

    I brought 25 students there for a school STEM trip. Everything from help with booking, online waivers, adding students, check in, instruction and flying went exceptionally well.

    We had my son's 12th birthday party at iFly last night and the staff was amazing (dealing with a group of boys is never easy and they rolled with everything the boys threw at them!). They were great at explaining everything and made sure the boys all had great flights. Would definitely recommend iFly to anyone for a birthday party or just for a fun night out.

    I need to say experience is 10/10 ,stuff super friendly,Instructors entertain little ones just a reason to go back for sure.However comparing two locations we had been in there is something what Queens is locking and should at least consider correcting/improving. What is difference btw Weschester and Queens location?It is communication!As a parent I was taken by surprise when I made a purchase I got 4 flights.On a day of a flight I purchased additional 1 high flight before the event. Next thing I knew my son had 2 flights and thats it. A guy walked up to us to inform "Your son had 2 flight for 2 mins each which is equvalent to 4 flights of 1 minute each therefore he is done".Totally not aware of that I would of like to know before flight started definately will do with 4 flight for a minute each if I was only asked for.You can not make a decision on your own.. Anyway after a short converstation we had been asked:" You can get another flight for $30$ Including high flight(2mins),no pressure though..."we agreed cause it was for a child to have the best experience oncve again which he did .Situation overall was just not cool,so I would just reconsider which is best location for IFLY.

    Our instructor was Jeff -- he was part therapist/part fly pro and perfect at both.

    TLDR, if you're on the fence- TAKE THE INTRO TRAPEZE CLASS! These classes *are* available to the…read morepublic - you do not need to be a trained professional. Circus Academy NY (formerly Trapeze School NY) was an incredible place to take my first trapeze class. Did their Thursday afternoon class @ Pier 40 yesterday from 6-8 PM and all 3 instructors - Yiannis, Ross, and Stuart - were knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel safe. Special shout out to Yiannis for his sense of humor and warmth! I liked that all instructors gave detailed guidance, patiently answered questions, and then demo'ed the sequence. I especially appreciated that if students didn't feel comfortable flipping or being caught mid-air, the instructors encouraged everyone but didn't pressure anyone to do something if the student wasn't feeling it. I lived in NY for years and my only regret is not having taken regular classes here while I was still here. LOVED the experience and I intend on taking a class every time I'm visiting NY! A few notes on logistics for Pier 40 classes: -arrive 10-15 min early to change, check into your class, and get fitted into your harness -to reach the class, take the elevator to the third floor and walk through the parking lot towards the turf soccer field, you'll see the huge trapeze structure -there's a changing room, water, also cliff bars and sunscreen available for purchase on the roof (third floor) -bathrooms are on the second floor

    Tried flying trapeze for the first time and with a big fear of heights, came out swinging and…read moreflying through the air, and got to do an advanced trick where I swung and grabbed the instructors' arms! What a great experience, I'm still soaking in how cool and accessible this class was. What made the experience was how well thought-out the teaching experience is, and how passionate the instructors are at correcting your form and helping you succeed in such a brief time. This is truly a school. Some of the people helping me were Hal, Aaron, Allie. They have a great system to get you set up with safety, get you hooked, and help you through the tricks as you get a feel for swinging through the air. I felt I could put my complete trust to them as they called out for my next move, and could focus on getting the trick right. The time flies fast, and your time on the trapeze is fast-paced so make sure you're warmed up and ready to swing your legs onto the bar that you're holding with your hands. The only downside is that the amount of times you get to go up the ladder depends on how many people are also in the class with you, since it's an individual sport (I got to fly three times). I would highly recommend!
