Someone from my work organized an event for $69 per person for 50 people. I signed up for three people. I was told to be at the Southcenter location at noon for a 1:00 flight. No information was provided about appropriate attire. When you arrive, check in at the desk on the ground floor. In my case, since we'd preregistered, they had our names. We just needed to sign the releases where you promise to not hold them liable for anything for any reason. They ask you specifically if you are under 250 pounds, have not dislocated your shoulder, and have no back problems. Then you climb the stairs. Because we had a group event, we had the 'party room' that my work hosts had put snacks in. From up here, you see the 'fishbowl' that you fly in. Each group gets 30 minutes. At 12:30, they called us over and we watched a brief video about how to fly. Essentially, keep your arms out and hands in front of you at eye level. Chin up. Legs spread with knees slightly bent. There are handsignal reminders if you need them. Then they asked us to empty our pockets and remove all jewelry. You are outfitted with zipper/velcro suits...so I recommend wearing light clothes. It was quite warm in the suit. You get goggles, put ear plugs in and get a helmet. Your group goes in to a set of benches. They crank on the vertical wind tunnel and adjust it according to the size of the flyer. Kids fly at about 70 mph. Adults are 90 - 120 mph. You get two rounds of about 1:00 - 1:30 minutes each. Oh...and they DVD record it. When everyone has flown...they crank it to about 140 mph and the instructor/pilot who has been helping you fly, flips and flies and dives. Cool! It was a riot! I enjoyed it. It was scarier and less scary than I thought it would be. And it goes FAST! Would I do it again? YES! Would I like it more for a little less money?! HECK YEAH! I still think I'll be back. read more

Still unsatisfied that I paid $60 to step into the stinkiest jump suit I have ever worn, and then put into a wind tunnel room where all I did was lay on my stomach in the air while a guy held my hand and leg so I wouldn't "float away" for a few minutes. Any visions you had of you shooting up and down the wind tunnel tube 10-15 feet up would mean that you would have to go numerous times (even the instructors tell you it's a considerable amount of time and lots of $ investment) before they let you do free-form movements. This is obvious for safety purposes, but since I don't see myself spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars to be able to get to do it, that $60...well, it's just gone. The instructors are of varying skills and comfort levels working with customers, so you really are at their mercy: you get somebody who holds you on a "leash" like I was, or somebody that will take you up higher than 5 feet off the ground and allow a little autonomy. What a bummer for those of us that are leashed :( Check it out if you have $60 to spare; I've described the worst-case scenario that I experienced, and you could be one of the lucky ones that get a good instructor. I'll stick with regular skydiving. read more

I purchased the Spread Your Wings for Two package as a Valentines Day gift for my boyfriend. For $132, each person participates in two one-minute flights and gets to choose two video clips from their flights. The instructions tell you to arrive 1 hour early. When we arrived, check-in took less than 5 minutes. You have the option of signing the waiver before you arrived. After we were weighed, we went up to the observation deck. I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit nervous. Luckily, we got to watch the group before us have fun in the wind tunnel. It was a birthday party for a five-year old. They even had a superman flight suit for the kid. It looked like everyone was having a blast. It was very cute and reassuring to watch. Obviously if a kid could do it, so could I! 30 minutes before your flight time, you are introduced to your instructor and educated on the hand signals to adjust your body position during the wind tunnel. Our instructor Peter was very outgoing and friendly. For $10 you can upgrade to do a "high-fly". After watching everyone in the class before us participate in the high-fly and leave with grins on their faces, it was hard to say no. I loved this experience. Honestly, I went in thinking it would be a one-time thing but I could definitely see myself going back. It is expensive but they do offer discounted packages for future visits on the day of your flight. I respect that they are not pushy but rather they educate you on your options. read more

As other stated - fun to do once, but not a habit. They tell you to arrive an hour early, then were surprised when I did arrive an hour early so they put me with an earlier group. Their computers must be 100 years old because even with doing the paperwork online and checking in on their computer, it took them 10 minutes to check us in. The employees even commented how much they hate their own systems. You go through the whole process for a grand total of 2 minutes of actual fun, with an extra $10 spent for the 5 seconds they take you flying up to the top. Afterwards, I had to wait another 15 minutes while they figured out how to reprint my certificate because they wrote the name completely wrong. p.s. - They give you a free picture if you post a positive review and show them that you did, so essentially they are paying people to post positive reviews. As you can see, I didn't take that offer. read more

Yesterday my girlfriend & I made a trip up to do some indoor skydiving after talking about it for a couple weeks. We both had a blast! From the second you walk in, you can tell how professional, yet fun this place is ran.You're greeted by people who seem almost more excited than you about your first flight. We made our way over to he wall mounted touch screens and began filling out our info to get checked in (a simple process that took a couple minutes and asked contact info and basic health questions). Once we were checked in, we were directed upstairs to watch an instructional video about posture during flights and how to follow hand signals from instructors. Again, a very streamlined process that spared the cheesiness usually found in those types of videos. The instructor came in to chat with us about what was about to happen. He seemed genuinely stoked for everyone and you could tell that he really enjoyed his job. From there it was time to suit up and make our way to the wind tunnel. We booked the "Spread Your Wings for Two", which runs $129 and got us each 2 flights (1 minute a piece). We sat down on a bench with the other 7 or 8 people that had booked flights at the same time block as us and waited our turns. My girlfriend did awesome right from the start and instilled some false confidence in my future run. Once I got in, I flopped around a bit from the floor net to the walls trying to balance myself out while being corrected by the instructor. I left the first flight slightly flustered about being shown up by my lady and went to the back of the line. I sat and watched everyone else's posture while I waited for my next flight. By the time that I made it back to the front, the instructor offered up a couple suggestions (extending my arms & straightening my legs a bit). We were all offered on our 2nd flight the chance to have an instructor carry us to the top of the tunnel (I would guess 30-40 ft. up) and everyone of course said yes. I jumped in and following the suggestions, I was able to balance myself out and actually do some cruising around the tunnel - it was awesome! With about 20 seconds on the clock an instructor grabs 1 leg and 1 arm and you hear the fans kick up a bit and then wooosh, your'e flying high into the tunnel. It's a pretty rad feeling and one that you can experience by yourself after additional flights / training. After we were all done with our flights, is when the instructor gets to jump in a show off a bit. Running up the walls and ceiling like spiderman, and then free falling back down the tunnel only to catch himself a few feet from the ground. Barrel rolls and flipity flops -it's definitely cool to see what is possible (I'm sure only after a ridiculous amount of time spent here and true skydiving, of course). But again, I'm sure just another reason why these guys dig their jobs so much, We finished up and were given certs and a dvd of our flights. The instructors congratulated everyone and complimented / offered advice for each person's return trips. We then had to option to pick up photos. We chose 4 and then hit check out. I was a bit taken back at the price of $5 a piece (given that they are only emailed to you, not actually physical photographs like you'd get at a theme park or something similar). I paid the $20 despite my hesitation (mainly because I didn't want to take the time to pull stills from our dvd.) The photos were emailed shortly and were just fine to post to facebook, although I'm not quite sure how well they'll look if we try to print (but who prints nowadays?). All in all, it was a really fun experience and we'll be doing it again soon with friends we have managed to recruit after seeing said facebook photos. I'd recommend it for anyone of any age who's looking for a fun year-round activity in our typically rainy state. read more

iFLY - Flying high! - Skydiving Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

The good: Got to try the feeling of skydiving without jumping out of anything The bad: Sketchy business practices like asking for confirmation that you want an added cost high flight while you have earplugs in and are standing at the doorway of a turbine, or spending a good portion of a minute directing you towards the camera so they can take pictures Useful info: They have lockers there. Wear pants, not a skirt/kilt. read more

A well-intentioned birthday gift from a jilted EX-BOYFRIEND brought us here. After sitting on the gift certificate for well over a year, my husband finally completed his will, leaving everything to a pair of Mallards that frequent our yard, and decided it was time to bite the bullet and try the place out. iFly is an indoor skydiving facility that's supposed to recreate the experience of REAL outdoor skydiving without the possibility of smashing into the ground faster than you can say "Hey, maybe this wasn't such a good --" A mysterious man in a booth controls the velocity of the wind and a seasoned instructor (often hunky) briefs you on the experience, then assists you during the process, after you watch a video while trying to fight the screaming voices in your head which tell you that you've made a terrible mistake. As with any other physical activity from bowling to swimming to fighting off a herd of rabid chinchillas, I fully expected to make a fool of myself at iFly. This belief was reinforced when I was given a "flying suit" - an blue jumpsuit - about 4" too long at the ankles - as well as a helmet that screamed "I eat glue, don't give me sharp objects!!" . To round off the look, we were given spongy ear plugs. Mine fell out during the flight, never to be seen again. No jewelry, not even wedding rings during the flight. My rings were taped onto my fingers, in case they scratched the glass of the wind tunnel, but they refused to tape my eyes and mouth shut. The admission price gives you two flights in the wind tunnel, and you are with about 10 other people during a rotation- people, who all witness your pathetic sky diving glory as they wax paranoia about their own fates. We had the fortune of flying with a bunch of kids, one elderly lady, and two men who kept high fiving each other (and missed) after a flight. We were told to encourage our entourage with high fives after every flight, but the kids were cocky and I felt that the high fives I was given were more conciliatory than congratulatory. "Don't feel bad", my high fives seemed to say, "At least, Jesus still loves you...". What made our experience stand out was our instructor, Casey. Having worked at iFly since its inception, Casey went out of his way to tell me why I was spending most of my time on the bottom of the floor, or upside down instead of floating in the air. Even after we got out of our hilarious suits, Casey explained what I was doing wrong (everything). Any slight inflection of our limbs would screw up our position and cause us to lose our form. At the end of every flight, the instructor also grandstands HIS skills with Batman and Buzz Lightyear moves walking around the perimeter of the facility, flipping, and so on. Instead of paying the extra $10.00 for the extra spin to the top with the instructor, we opted to spend the entire time perfecting our form. We became so interested in succeeding at the skydiving experience, that we purchase another two flights, as they are less expensive when purchased right after the flight experience than off the internet. Fun, fun, fun, and definitely takes you out of your comfort zone. read more

This monolith somehow managed to get constructed without me ever noticing it. When we got invited to a friend's birthday extravaganza here, we jumped (pardon the pun) at the opportunity to check this place out. It's conveniently located just off the 405 by Southcenter Mall, and once you know to look for it, you can't miss it. Checking in at the front desk is a little confusing, as you have to check in like 3 or 4 times. I think this system could be made a little easier. Also, the boxes for your personal info are set for autofill, so other people can access your email address, phone number, etc. The autofill feature should probably be turned off. I'm also a bit leery that they don't have locks for the lockers. You are required to remove jewelry, wallets, phones, etc.; so to me it seems crazy that your stuff isn't protected. Even if you stash your stuff in your trunk, your keys have to go in a locker, and with keyless entry into most cars these days, a thief need only grab you keys and walk out to the parking lot pushing the button and they've got all you stuff. Yikes! It's also a little on the pricey side; close to $50 a person for two "flights" as they call them, which are 1 minute a piece. If it was closer to 30 bucks, I'd probably go back a few more times. Finally, for anyone who doesn't like being touched by strangers (the instructor/guide) or watched by strangers (the whole of everyone else waiting their turns), you might have a bit of a panic attack, just a warning. Those gripes aside, I still had a lot of fun. I've never gone skydiving before, so I have no true reference point for comparison. That being said, I have fallen out of my bed a few times, missed a step on stairs and taken a bit of a tumble, and drunkenly jumped off of more than my fair share of roofs; so I'm sort of a professional when It comes to falling. I'm guessing this is very much unlike real skydiving as there is no sense of falling or weightlessness. The wind that lifts you feels like you're lying down on a solid surface. The flights, though brief, are a lot of fun, but you have so little time to get used to the sensation and proper body posture that you are done by the time you've got it figured out. The staff were all super friendly, and I really liked our instructor. He seemed to legitimately enjoy his job, and seeing people happy at work goes a long way toward making your experience better. You can also get a DVD at the the end with video of your flights. We got 1 disc for the 12 of us. I'm not sure if it was included in the normal price or part of a package we signed up for, as I wasn't the one who made our reservation. The disc isn't copy protected, so you can burn copies for other members of your party rather than each person buy one. This place is definitely worth checking out. I would go back for another special occasion. Unlike something like bowling or even golfing, the price to enjoyment ratio is just a little too skewed toward the expensive side to get me to go back on my own. It's just recently opened, so hopefully they'll be able to work out a few of the kinks. read more

Heard great things for iFLY from friends. Booked a double flight for my wife and I for her birthday. Days before the appointment, we both fell ill. Called iFLY to discuss options and was able to cancel and get a refund. 2 weeks go by, no refund. Called and talked to them. They said weird, looks to be in processing, just wait. Wait 2 more weeks, nothing. Called again, this time lady tells me they don't do refunds. I told them that's not what was promised and discussed, then she runs the refund to my CC. Let's see if the refund actually happens or not. read more

We went on aug 28th for our sons 20th birthday. Our daughter and her husband flew up from Az to go with. James was our flight instructor. He was great! I do believe that for the price, we should have flown longer that 2 minutes total! Crazy prices read more

I liked this place. I wanted to love it though. My BF and I went here for his birthday, and I was expecting to experience a thrill similar to the rush of a rollercoaster or the like, but it just wasn't. I was fortunate enough to come across the coupon from the Entertainment coupon book (buy one get one free for 1st time flyers!) so I don't feel like I wasted my money, but looking at the prices to experience it again...I think I'll pass. I think I would've been less bummed if I hadn't seen the group go before us. Their instructor let them fly on their own, but at the end she grabbed hold of them and they both shot to the top of the tunnel and floated there for a few seconds, then shot back down, and did this cycle a couple more times. When I asked our instructor if we could do that, he said that he couldn't, but that but he would show us hand movements to go up to the top by ourselves. Sad face. It can be a little disorienting for first-timers...I did well my first flight, but my second and third flights not so much. It's easy to over think your movements and body positioning while in the tube, and the one minute flights zip by so quickly that there really isn't enough time to obtain good positioning and experiment around a little bit. I wanted to do more than just hang out on a gust of wind...which is basically all I did. I had some control, went up and down a little bit..ran into the window a couple times, but that's about it. It feels more like you're on a solid surface rather than falling or floating even. The instructors were great, very nice and tried to help you try new movements. After everyone in our group went, the instructor showed off some of his tricks, which were extremely impressive...I mean wow. He shot to the top, dove down to the bottom, did flips, etc. etc. BUT - I asked how many minutes you needed to buy in order to do anything 1/10th as cool as the tricks he demonstrated, and he told us that it would take an HOUR OR TWO just to learn how to flip over, from floating on your back to your stomach. WHAT!!! I feel like that might be an exaggeration, but still - to learn to do the rad tricks, you have to be willing to pay $30 per MINUTE (unless you buy a bulk package, which brings the price per minute down) so thousands of dollars to get to his level. I didn't even let myself get excited at the thought of improving my skills. Honestly, it's something cool to try, but not practical for me. If you are looking to try and eventually master challenging body maneuvers, give it a go. But if you're looking for an adrenaline rush, this might not be the best choice. At least it wasn't for me (unless you take the time and spend the money to get really good at it.) I admit that I got a much bigger thrill from trapeze class than this. Sorry iFly. Nice facility though, and we got a free DVD, which was a nice bonus. ***Tip: Pick up a copy of the Entertainment coupon book for BUY ONE GET ONE FREE COUPON for first time flyers. :) read more

This is a very conflicted experience... It was exhilarating and awesome! Honestly the most fun 60 seconds I've had... Ever. It is totally a thrill! However... Operationally, it was frustrating. From the time we called to make the reservations to the moment we completed the flight. We purchased a "coupon package" that included an "Experiential Flight" and either a photo or DVD. The front desk is rude and not helpful. They did not explain things and in a matter-of-fact way were dismissive and snotty. We really weren't clear on exactly what we were doing or how long the experience really was. They mentioned adding a minute for $20 each but didn't really sell it. Having already spent $40 each and not really knowing what to expect, we passed. The instructor was nice and fun, but even he had a somewhat pretentious, assembly-line attitude. Several times he referred to everyone in the group having 2 one minute flights. Literally at the entry door to my second flight he advised that our package was one minute only and to go to the back of the line. He'd previously mentioned (several times) that we could add minutes at the end - he came back to me and said "sorry, we out of time." Our 8-year old cried. We were to receive 2 pictures as part of our package. Back at the unfriendly & unhelpful front desk she advised that their printer was broken but she'd email us 3 pictures "for free" and made it clear it was a big inconvenience to do so. So .... Like someone else here did, I am averaging the experience. A 4-star 60 seconds with a 2 star value and 1 star service ... 3 stars. All that said... I'll probably go back (see first paragraph)! read more

We took our son here for his birthday and it was a lot of fun. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure the family had a good time. read more

My experience at iFly was amazing! I brought my family in from out of town for their first flights. They had a blast and are already planning on coming back. I had bought a coupon package, which worked out perfectly! I don't understand how some of the people below me had a hard time, the staff at iFly were courteous and excited from the beginning at check-in all the way through our flights to the pictures we purchased. I read and used the coupon as per the directions, and it was flawless. I think the people with complaints are just not paying attention to the restrictions set on the back. We flew for 2 minutes a piece, and our instuctor Darren just killed it. He helped me get better and get my mom and sister in the air for the first time. The pictures that iFly took were too awesome not to get, and completed the whole experience. I really think that iFly will do well in Tukwila, and I am excited for it to be around as I get better! read more

Went here for the first time last night since I bought a Groupon for my son's birthday. I was very nervous to let my kids (10 and 13) try it at first, but I was very impressed with the organization, friendliness, and information provided by the staff. There were so many people from little kids to grandparents in line to fly, so it was nice to watch them before my kids had their turns. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the fact that with all the prep time (check-in at 6:30pm, class at 7:00pm, in flying area at 7:30pm, done around 8:30pm) and cost (a special helmet and flight into the higher part of the tunnel cost extra) my boys only got two minutes (2 1-minute sessions) of flying total. It did say this in the paperwork, but I was just surprised how short the actual flying time turned out to be. For a first time, though, the whole experience was so very exciting for my boys. The instructor, Tyler, was the icing on the cake since he was so very awesome with everyone, and his sense of humor and kind demeanor put me and my boys at ease. If a person wants a really special activity for themselves or someone they know, I would highly suggest coming here. Just be ready to spend time and money! read more

The experience is amazing. The price is unreal. 80 $ per person for 4 min flight seems very expensive. Also i received an E-mail that advertise discount for returning customers and they do not mention that is available only till 10 AM and after 9 PM week day only. I am really against false/foggy advertisement and that's why they get the 2 stars. read more

My family and I came here on Sunday and this was our first time trying this place out. I don't think there was a single person who left without a smile on their face. The customer service was exceptional and the instructors were awesome. We had Casey as our instructor and I wouldn't want anyone else. You could tell he loved what he did and enjoyed making everyone smile. He was also very good with kids; ensuring one had their helmet buckled before entering the wind tunnel. I was so afraid to try this out (I have a fear of heights) but glad I did. Next time, I'll pay the extra $10 for them to take me up higher. :) read more

iFly shouldn't be a replacement to sky-diving, rather it should be seen as a chance to float for a short time. A cool experience to have, but with a heavy price to pay. They try to get you to spend more money every chance they get, even when you're confused or just coming out of the experience, which is frustrating. I'm glad I had the experience, but I won't be going again. Kids will have fun because they will float so easily, so if you want to give them an awesome birthday present, this is a great place to go. read more

I found IFLY's business practices to be dishonest and a bit sneaky. I took my family to go check out IFly. We watched people getting their flying lessons for about an hour to see if it was for us. We observed that for your price of admission you got two flight lessons. During the first session they teach you the basic body position, during the second you practice the position some more and then they give you a cool finally. The instructor grabs ahold of the student and takes them for a few rides way up in the air tunnel. Together they shoot up and down in the air tunnels in a rather thrilling fashion. It is a cool finally and my kids definitely wanted to do it. So, I paid admission and we got all geared up: jump suites, ear plugs and helmets. Then we watched a tutorial video. Finally we were ready to go into the air tunnel. My kids were nervous but excited. The instructor came out. I thought he was going to take us into the air tunnel but he said "Oh, and if you guys want to do the finally at the end were the instructor take you for a ride up into the air tunnel, it will cost you more money." My jaw dropped. Mind you I already spent $60 per person, so they could get 2 minutes of air time. I looked at my kid's faces and handed the instructor my credit card. This is a BAD business practice. I can only assume that they do this because they don't get much repeat customers and they want to take you for all they can. Unless you have money to burn, avoid this company. read more

They need to hire someone knows how to work at the front desk.

This is a great, I highly recommend doing it with friends. Not nearly as scary as real skydiving, but perfect if you want to try. I did the "Spread Your Wings for Two" package which is perfect if your just going with one other person. Which you get 2 sessions for each person and each sessions is a minute. Which goes by really quick. Gives you enough time to get the general idea how to balance and do a few twists with the instructor. The staff has everything timed perfectly with changing classes out, time you get in there and when to start trying and tricks with you. Its not scary at all, even people who are afraid of heights shouldn't worry at all. I recommend wearing your own laced shoes, so you don't need to borrow theirs. And don't wear any jewelry when going. Get there early to watch other people on their flights. Something I would do again, just wish I had more time in the tunnels for it. read more

Even more epic than iFLY Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!!! Their brand-new, custom-built facility is beautiful and the giant tube of 100+mph winds you jump into is even better than the one in LA that I first visited. We RSVP'd online, showed up about 40 minutes in advance (they recommend an hour), and were in perfect time to get suited up for our four one minute flights ($100/person). This may seem pricey, but it is worth it - way cheaper than skydiving! read more

Great experience my kids loved it. They were given great instructions and suited up. I hated the fact that we arrived early for our 1:30 appointment but ended up waiting till 3:00 pm to start. We weren't even called over for the video till 2:00 pm a half hour after our appointment. So if you have the afternoon to kill or have other plans that day beware you might get delayed a couple of hours. read more

The actual activity is fun, but very brief. However, the over all experience is somewhat degraded by constant attempts to upsell. If you're paying $80 per person, and flying for a total of two minutes each, you're not really all that inclined to look favorably on having more stuff pitched to you, especially before you start. I don't know what a place like this costs to run, so I can't comment on whether the price is reasonable, but I do know that sales pressure, especially too soon, kills your repeat business, and costs you money in the long run. Certainly wasn't too crowded on the weekend evening I was there. Lots of staff just kinda standing around, not busy. read more

ADRENALINE JUNKIES WANTED What an incredible feeling. I have been bungy jumping before a few years back and have been wanting to go skydiving. I feel like this was the perfect activity to fill the gap and practice before making the real high dive. My family all got gift card for Christmas, we tried to make the reservations online, which is a horrible system! - all the other reviewers are right. But we just called and got it all squared away. Since we had a group of 6 we all got to go together in out group which was cool especially for the DVD that we got included. Our instructor Kevin was very charismatic and high energy even though it was at 9/10pm on a Sunday night and we were his last group. The experience is pretty cool. So in our group got the hang of it quicker than others. My boyfriend was a natural within 10 seconds of being in the "tank" and on his second flight we was playing around on his own trying to navigated and everything. After out group was done, Kevin explained to us the technique and tricks with moving in there which as pretty interesting. When you are in their they keep a pretty close hand to you so you dont crash into walls or go to high. On our second flight in the last 20 seconds, Kevin took a hold of each of us and we went up to the top of the tunnel and back down which was super cool and my favorite part of the experience. Definitely recommend this for gifts for the family. In the group before us they had a little girl no older than 5 in there and she did awesome! read more

I *love* I-Fly. It's tons of fun, the instructors are great, and it's fairly affordable (compared to actual skydiving, anyway). The best part is that when you're really skydiving, it's hard to tell how fast you're going, or whether you're going up, down, left, right, etc... But with practice in the I-Fly air tunnel, you can learn the movements and how to get what you want out of your real skydiving experience before you go airborne! read more

Had a great time today. We took one of the grandsons here as a belated B-Day gift. Kid had a blast and we enjoyed watching. (I'll be back another time to try it out) The staff seemed to be on top of things and all we watched appeared to be enjoying the experience. Extra $10 for the high flight at the end is a must! Check in was smooth and quick (we reserved online) read more

My family got these to have a family outing on christmas and finally came out today to spend the gift certificates. I didnt know much of what to expect,except for the how pricey it was to go. I do warn plan in advance.. It is an hour your first time for the safety video before hand on your first time. So the experience was amazing. Very short but very worth the trip. Our instructer was Andy and I asked him how long he had worked there, he told me it was only his second month. WOW. He had amazing energy and was very helpful in teaching us how to hold ourselves. And did very good with the little kids in the group. He made the experince for us. (also have to say he was very attractive as well so that was nice! Ha) So paying this much at first on how to hold your body kind of sucks, but definitely made me want to return to master my technique. It was still very thrilling. And we paid for the spin at the end which i thought was the best part. Everyone in the group had a blast and even though it was only 2 minutes each we enjoyed watching everyone else experience it too! read more

Went on a Costco deal and got to fly more than the non-Costco fliers and we paid less! Great staff. Fun experience. :0) Even if you're not flying, it's fun to watch those who are! read more

This was Fun! Everyone was helpful as you walk in to start your adventure. We had a blast and everything was easy to learn and go through as you went through the training, great, and event. Such a cool experience for ages 3 and up. We hope to go again. Downside, really expensive. read more

WAY OVERPRICED. We paid over $160 for two people and we each flew for a total of 2 MINUTES! This also was with a 15% discount (group discount if you have at least 6 ppl). They also charge you $10 plus tax if you want to go higher in the chamber on your second turn. They had several mixups about the charges at first and had to refund the group & then charge us again. All in all, it's fun but not worth the money, especially for the time you get to spend "flying". They also did overcharge us (me & one other person paid together) $10 as one of us didn't fly high which they refunded us for - pts for good customer service when we called in about this. The instructor we had was cool but we will not be returning here mostly because the $ paid is not worth it. read more

It's not cheap, but it's worth it. A lot of fun, and not nearly as physically difficult or frightening as you might think it is. Worth every penny to do the extra $10 high flight. Vance as an instructor was excellent, friendly, great energy, engaging, funny, patient, and knowledgeable. We were in good hands. And myself, my wife, and all three kids (14 girl, 10 boy, and 8 girl) had an amazing time that they're still talking about. read more

My boyfriend and I did this about a year ago and we had a blast!! This is so cool, where else are going to get to try out skydiving so easily and risk-free?! It's actually really hard to do and you definitely have to prepare for a bit of a workout, but it's such a rare experience I would recommend it to everyone. And surprisingly enough, all the little kids were better than any adult in our group! I had a coupon or a groupon or something and we ended up getting a package with a DVD of our "flying". We had such a laugh showing it to our friends later! read more

Pro's · Very affordable (2 flights for 2 people, a certificate of accomplishment and a DVD for $149.99) · Awesome staff · Excellent set up and fast check in · Knowledgeable staff · Smooth flight training · Small groups spaced 30 minutes apart doesn't make you feel rushed · DVD of experience included in package · Photos available for purchase on a jump drive after the flight for a nominal fee. · Closest thing to the real thing (Try this first before your tandem dive out of a real plane) · Kids welcome over age 3 · http://iflyseattle.com/ifly-indoor-skydiving?gclid=CLDg9P_pwq8CFUgZQgodd1wXZA · Many different packages for all different skill levels Con's We were a little aggravated that our instructor was so new and allowed to take our group alone or with very little help from a more seasoned instructor. The weight ratio of the instructor to the participant can be an issue and can lead some "flyers" to have a less than excellent experience. Equipment is worn out and should be replaced more often It almost seemed as if some flyers were given preferential treatment if they displayed a more seasoned approach and those flyers were allowed to have the seasoned instructor and go higher in the tube. The same participants had the clock stopped for them and then restarted once a bit of instruction was given and the participant was ready to go again. Summary- This is basically a type of cylinder where the speed of the wind varied from 97 to 165 MPH. Most flyers flew at 100 to 105 MPH. You are given goggles, a helmet and flight suit with handles on either side that the instructor used to guide you through each one minute session. The check in process could have been a little more organized and the associate in charge of check ins could have been a little more patient with new flyers, but all in all this is an experience I will definitely do again. read more

Today we went to IFLY for my dad's birthday. We all got the chance to go more the once. The whole event was fascinating and the facility was so nice. I was not bored at all during our time despite some waiting. During my 3rd flight, my shoulder dislocated which is due mainly in part to personal background reasons. But the staff handled it so great and everyone was so nice. If you are having any doubts about this experience, you are in great hands! If I didn't have shoulder problems that I am now currently aware of, I would 100% go again! See you again post recovery! read more

These guys ROCK, seriously!!! Took my daughter and mother here for their birthday and it was a wonderfully stupendous experience. I will come back as often as we can!!! read more

iFLY - My mom and daughter on their birthday!! - Skydiving Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Amazing!!!! I had originally bought a package for my twins birthday but we ended up doing the whole experience as a family. My twins just turned four and they had such a great time and it was so fun to watch them. My kids are itty bitty (under 30lbs) so if you want to do something for your kids. This would be it!! My husband had done his before and as for myself it was my first time. I couldn't help but keep smiling cause it just made me so happy lol. It such a free and exhilarating feeling. The staff there is was super friendly and made you feel comfortable. I believe our flight instructors name was Mac or Cole. A tall guy with a black beard. He put on a show at the end of or fight time. Oh yeah? He also did the superman stance with my son. That was icing on the cake. Would undo this again? Definitely!! They have great deals on adding on stuff during your flight time. So take advantage of it! I'm a true believer in experiences over material things and this was quite the experience. read more

iFLY - So excited to fly! - Skydiving Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Went with my family & we all had a great time. Glad we go the DVD because I accidentally went tumbling to the ground while in flight & it will be really funny to watch on the DVD later. Falling doesn't hurt by the way. ;) Expensive, but great thing to do with family that you don't see very often in my case. read more

Initial wait time was long. Having to hang out there and watch other people do it, just made me want to jump in there. Our flight instructor was very entertaining and knowledgable, overall a great flight instructor. The experience for the first time was amazing, good way to prepare yourself for the real thing and practice your form. The group we were with had a very cute old lady (probably in her 80s). So for all you youngsters that are afraid...if grandma can do it, so can you! :) Wished it was a bit longer, I was starting to perfect my form. hehe. Overall whole experience...was capital A for AWESOME! Must do at least once. read more

I had previously arranged for myself and 40 of my co-workers to have a corporate outing at iFly Seattle. The experience was exceptional, organized, efficient and flexible with the variety of co-worker athletic abilities. I decided to book a "party flight" for my wife, 4 children and two of the childrens's friends just before Christmas. Wow, Michael our flight instructor, Timmy, our coordinator and the other staff are that great combination of skilled and genuinely energetic about their job. My entire group spent the rest of the evening with a big grin from the experience, and we will definitely do this again within the next few months. Highly recommend! read more
