    We surprised our kids by taking them to iFLY. They had never done this so they were shocked and excited. We didn't make reservations online. We walked in and fortunately, they had two spots at the timeframe we wanted. The kids gave us their things to hold. They got suited up and then, they were called to get instructions on what to do. When they came back out, we made sure their shoes were tied securely. We also made sure their goggles were on snugly. They took their two flights in the air tunnel. They had a lot of fun. The flight instructor's solo flight after everyone had finished their turns was amazing! This is definitely an experience you should try at least once!

    "Boost" option where instructor takes you up and down the air stream. Highly recommended!

    CLOSEST EXPERIENCE TO FLYING! When skydiving from a plane, you can control your rate of fall, but you are constantly falling. With indoor skydiving, the fan air is constant and as you change speed of fall you are actually flying up and down in the airstream! The experience is magical! WHAT TO EXPECT: You start by watching a training video and then a flight brief from your instructor. They teach four basic hand signals they use to communicate with you to help you position your body in the air stream. Your group gets suited up and then each person gets a turn, one at a time for a 1 minute flight. Yes, it's not long. You can select how many minutes you wish to buy (typically 3-5). The instructor is in the air chamber with you, and helps to keep you from hitting floor or flying too high. You will only be 2-4 feet above ground, as they adjust fan speed to your weight so you don't fly high and hurt yourself. Don't expect to fly flips unless until you have trained for a long long time. INSTRUCTOR PERFORMANCE: After everyone has completed all their flights, the instructor heads in alone and shows off their skills. They fly upside down and perform amazing aerial gymnastics. It is really impressive! PHOTOGRAPHY TIP: They take pictures and videos inside the chamber. We got one free and had to pay for rest (if you want them). We were not impressed with their photos. My wife's photos and videos from outside the chamber were much better. Bring a person to serve as photographer if you want photos.

    IFly is such a fun experience especially if you have kids. If you're looking for a unique activity, I recommend you give it a go. I was able to schedule a flight as a walk in for two people easily. The wait wasn't long, and we were able to see some professional skydivers do some amazing tricks. We only had a small group to do a small class about the process. The instructor explained a few hand gestures for us to follow in the chamber that would maximize our flight. Fair warning, the chamber is pretty loud, and you'll probably not pay attention to the gestures when you feel the wind blowing on your body and face. I can't remember if we did two or three rounds in the chamber, but I felt it was just enough of a rush for me.

    Great birthday gift from my adventure friends! And something I haven't tried yet!!! iFLY will have you soaring to new adventures! They gear you up in full flight suits, helmet, goggles and ear plugs to get you ready! My girlfriend couldn't get her ring off- one of the rules, no jewelry- and they fixed that problem with a glove to protect their tunnel! Our instructor was calm, cool and perfect for our group! First flight for us was low and to teach us how to hold our balance in the air~ each of us took to flight like naturals! Next up- was UP! once balanced again our instructor spun us up! I was a wee bit excited and hollered out a WOOOOHOOOO and that just made him take me up more! and FASTER! You get excited = more excitement! Myself and one of my friends have gone skydiving before- different experience but still exhilarating! And like most crazy fun things- something you want to do again! Apparently the more you fly that more discounts fly your way too! I hope to back again for more air time! I was so surprised to see so many families with small children flying! Raising future dare devils! YAY!

    Im flying!!!!

    Awesome Experience!!! This place is the coolest! You get to skydive ( fly!) without all the learning, commitment, fear, panic and $$$ of doing the real thing -aka-actually jumping out of a plane. I had no idea what to expect going in and let me tell you it's intense! Wind blasting you at 100+ mph in the face is something I have never experienced before! It's kinda hold on for a ride, cause it's such a strange feeling flying around! At first the instructor held you and hovered around on the floor area to get you used to the feeling of being in the wind tunnel, then up we went! Flying around with an instructor holding onto you...So. Freaking. Cool!!! Some things to know: -Take off all your jewelry....no rings, bracelets, or necklaces ( leave at home if you can) -Tie your hair back really good..I have long hair and by the time I was done it was twisted into some good knots! -It's way harder then it looks! The instructors make it look so easy, but uh no! Lol -Relax and laugh at yourself, you do not look cute being blasted thru the air..but it's really fun to laugh at your friends doing it! ;) -Very kid friendly! I was shocked that they said kids can do it starting at 3!! My teens thought it was the coolest, funniest thing ever! Would be great for kids birthday parties! - Prices seem to be better the more people you go with, so if you can get a few friends together check the group price I'm so happy I did it, checked off my bucket list! :)

    My sister dared my father and mother to do this with my daughter for her birthday. However I ended up having to go in my mom's place as she has a prior shoulder injury; It is not for people with shoulder injuries to jump. My sister had booked and paid for the session online. She said the process was very simple. We were also able to complete our waivers online which worked out great for us as that is how we found out about the restrictions for jumpers. They have their own parking and since we paid and completed the waivers online check in went quickly. We just had to verify ourselves and weigh in. The staff was friendly and seemed happy to be at work. Once checked in we are moved to the room with the air tunnel. We were given jumpsuits, ear plugs, goggles and a helmet. We received instructions from our director, Ryan. They also have free lockers there to place your valuables. We did the package with two jumps per person. We had a great time, this was alot of fun. We are still laughing about how silly I looked on my second jump. My dad is afraid of heights however he went the highest out of us all and did the best. I definitely recommend going, they also do birthday parties and corporate events. You have the option to purchase videos or photos from your session. The prices are reasonable! Also note you can tip your instructor as they work very hard to help us have fun.

    Little sis having a great time!

    Couldn't say enough great things about my experience here. Brought my little sister in for her 20th birthday. For anyone how is extremely fearful of this experience, don't let it stop you! Our instructor Shane did such an amazing job at making sure we were well educated, felt comfortable, and had a great experience. I refused to do the high fly originally but changed my mind last minute and had the BEST experience. Thank you iFly... The only thing...suits were a little stinky lol.

    My daughter and I flew today. We had a blast. This is a family friendly environment. Nick was our instructor. He is super experienced and great with the children too. Non flying family can come and observe your flight and take pictures. All staff was very friendly and helpful. Clean, safe environment. Bring your adventurous side out and have fun.

    This place is dope! DEFINITELY something. I will try. I took my kids here and they had a ball. The customer service is dope and I found out (after the fact) that they offer a LE discount. The atmosphere is fun-- and all the employees seem to be in good spirits and enjoy their jobs. My son is 4...and he did it. It took patience to show him the how to's and show him the ropes pre flight. Big shoutout to their flight instructor...and we will certainly be back soon.

    iFLY. iFLY. iFLY so high I can touch the sky. The skies the limit they say, don't fret and let your imagination set sail and make way. Make way for a new opportunity like no other, this will be sure to bring anyone closer together, mother, father, sister or brother. I'm chuckling to myself reflecting back on the moments I had at iFLY. I've always wanted to go skydiving but I hadn't pulled the trigger to do so. A few months ago, I noticed there was this place that had indoor skydiving, so, I knew I wanted to give it a go. This particular outing was sponsored by my loving mother, who surprised me with a early birthday gift. Accompanying me was my brother and cousin, unfortunately this location has a specific weight limit, so bear that in mind when making reservations. Things to know: - make a reservation for an early session (beat the rush) - fill out your waiver online (better to have it done, instead of doing it in-house) - leave all jewelry, loose change and knick knacks at home (you don't want that flying around, they won't allow it anyway) - bring family and friends (the more the merrier, seriously) - if you don't plan on purchasing videos or photos, have someone there that can be your personal photographer/videographer (the prices are reasonable though) - you won't feel nauseous (I was nervous about this but only the pure excitement jars your insides) - consider the high option (this allows you to fly higher) - you will be sore (my lower back was tight, it was if I'd been doing some back exercises) What I assumed would be multiple spheres, was actually a group of individuals, based on your time slot, waiting to take turns to go in one. The wait time is not that long, unless there's someone who was allotted additional time. Before going in, your instructor will call for your time slot and give you your flight gear. You'll be putting on a fly suit, goggles and a helmet. In the event the suit is too big for you, that's ok, the suit will yield more air. Yes, you'll want more air in your suit! There's a quick how to guide video you'll watch and from there, you're just patiently waiting to go for a dive. My instructor Victoria was very informative and down to earth. Whilst inside, you're giving four different hand gestures to ensure you'll be flying appropriately. In the video I posted of myself, you can see she's cradling me. I WAS NOT supposed to be flying backwards, I pulled an advance move. Ha! After the fact, she made reference to that being one, if not the funniest times she's had. This review has gotten away from me but it was worth it to reflect back on those moments. For anyone who is hesitate or wavering, take a leap of faith, trust me, you won't regret it! To everyone involved with the establishment, keep going in this positive direction.

    Was well worth it. If you purchase the passes after your initial session, it's way cheaper. I plan on going again

All of the instructors and videographers were awesome and fun. I was lucky enough to have Art as my instructor. He's absolutely the best! So funny and cool. He made sure I had the best, most adrenaline fueled birthday ever!! I've done a lot of industrial health and safety work and I appreciated how Art and everyone else were constantly checking and double checking equipment, altitude, and time; and worked like a well oiled team - I felt no worries. I highly recommend purchasing the video package if it's your first jump. Scotty was my videographer and he did an amazing job! Those videographers are really crazy! I received a link to my video package within hours and love the amazing video they sent. Of course I've shared it with everyone I know!! But what really surprised me was the number of high quality photos they sent as well. So worth the money! Personally, I think you'd be crazy to jump the first time and not get the video/pictures. They sent me a link for a discounted second skydive and as soon as I get my taxes filed I'm taking advantage of it! If you're thinking about skydiving for the first time, go to Skydive Palatka, they will take good care of you!!
