For some of us who may never brave falling through the skies, this is the closest thing to feeling as if we're free-falling. We came in a group and lucked out on having Andy, who is the ultimate real-life daredevil--the kind you can imagine to skydive in his sleep, as our instructor. Thank god he made sure the safety measures were drilled in our heads because I would probably shoot straight up to the roof the moment I step into the vent. Our group had people of all shapes and sizes, and he was extremely patient with us and most importantly, made sure we had fun. I wouldn't come without a group or deal since each flight lasts only 60 seconds and the first half of that time, you'll be spending trying to adjust yourself and not get carried away--literally. But it's a great foundational (and I use that lightly) course to get a feel of whether being among the clouds is in the cards or not. read more

My son was invited to an iFLY party there. This is his second iFLY experience. He rated today's experience as 10/10. His session was about 1.5-2 hours, joined by another group of stranger party. He said the instructor was great. They gave you a certificate of completion after. No concession stand but vending machines are available. $1.5 for a can of soda which is very reasonable. Parking can be a problem. The street outside was ' no parking anytime'. They do send you an email ahead to remind you about parking situation. A nearby parking garage ( 7 min walk) will validate your ticket and you only have to pay $10 for unlimited parking on that day. But that's really nothing to walk around there. The only choice for waiting parents is to wait on site. They will also email video and photo after the session. Free download of the sample videos. If you want high definition, then you have to pay. Parents were also allowed to take pictures during flight experience. read more

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. read more

We had such an amazing time at ifly...it was easy to get to with public transportation and driving as well. The specials were reasonably priced and instructors made it so munch fun. I would recommend this outing with all age groups. We were a mixed group with age ranges from 14 to 55.. the equipment felt each person well. Only complaint is that the time spent in the air tunnel is quite short. The space could be a little more organized as well..it said grand reopening but we did not see anything that looked new. read more

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

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Queens - Photo after flying - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Queens, New York

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! read more

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Queens - For an extra $20, you can go higher! - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Queens, New York

I had the most amazing experience at iFLY Queens. The visit was for a special birthday (I'll just say the year ends in ZERO) and I went with my hubs and another couple. We had a snafu in our reservation, which they handled with the utmost professionalism. The actual fly experience was incredible. Our instructor was Jeff -- he was part therapist/part fly pro and perfect at both. I was very nervous and he made me feel at total ease. Look -- if I can do this, you can do it, too. I even did the high fly on my 2nd go in the tunnel -- and I would do it all over again! Run -- don't walk -- to book this wonderful, empowering experience. I will be back! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Very fun and great for a family day. They take you in the wind tunnel and monitor you the whole time so you are safe and have fun. It is not like "real" skydiving exactly (I have done both) but it's a unique and fun experience on its own. Test your core control! I didn't love the fact the tube is in the center of the room and everyone else is milling around and watching you - you definitely feel like you're on display. if you like being the center of attention, though, it's a plus. read more

Great place to enjoy something different. I went for my birthday and it was everything I hoped for.

awesome time, instructor Bijan was really good at making us feel at ease for our first time. Got the media package for the pics/video emailed to us. Would definitely recommend for group activities & plan to go back really soon. read more

Fun family place. A really nice way to celebrate a kids birthday. Visited 2 weeks ago and the flying experience was phenomenal. We did the family package along with an extra small fee for the videos and photos. It was al worth the experience.. read more

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!).

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. read more

Absolutely incredible and cool experience for my 12 y/o son and his two friends. Staff are so fun, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable - from the reservation reps, to the front, desk, the instructor, the manager, and the high flight person - everyone was fantastic! Special shout out to Steve who helped answer a bunch of questions and sold us an upgraded package.  Jose was an incredibly wonderful instructor who made the experience so smooth and fun alongside Cameron (the high flight dude) and Drew (the air controller). Jill and the other front desk person (sorry I didn't catch her name) were also lovely!  The only downside was having to find parking so would recommend arriving even earlier (there's metered street parking but crowded), but otherwise it was a terrific experience my son and his friends enjoyed. There are some nearby eateries to grab a bite nearby like slice, bareburger, and yumpling.  Would love to do this again with them.  Props to IFLY! read more

The staff Diana and Drew have been wonderful and accommodating. This was our first time ever (I know hard to believe) in this area of New York. Our GPS did its best to get us here in a timely manner. Unfortunately we had trouble parking our extraordinary suv and came extremely late. Both Diana and Drew were wonderful, kind, patient, respectful and professional. We wish them much success in all their endeavors read more
