My son and I were pleased with our visit. We were first timers and enjoyed the experience a lot. The entire staff was friendly. Our instructor was David. He took his time to make sure we clearly understood the hand signals and what it would be like inside before our flight. He was great with my son who is 11. I would recommend him as well as iFLY as a unique experience that is going to leave a lasting impression. read more

I planned for me and my boyfriend to come to iFly since we were at VA Beach. This was quite an experience. You watch a video prior to flying and all questions are answered. Afterward, you suit up and get ready to fly. When you are asked if you want to go to the top while paying take it! It definitely is worth the extra $9.95. I was completely scared once it was my turn but I overcame the fear. It's fun, everyone was very nice and professional. The absolute furthest I'd get next to skydiving. read more

Iuliia, Austin and Jack are an amazing bunch. All very personable and knowledgable. I had such a great time and felt very safe the entire time. I wish you could use your receipt to buy a return ticket after you leave. We just don't have the funds now. The front desk staff were also very helpful but I didn't catch their names. Please forgive me if I got any of the names wrong. It's one of my faults. read more

When I first saw the iFly billboard, I scoffed at the notion-- I mean, really, indoor skydiving seems to lack the coolness and authenticity of the amazing views real skydiving offers. Boy was I wrong. I first checked out iFly as a spectator when my boyfriend took a 4 min flight on our first day in Virginia Beach. First of all the whole studio is awesome- you feel like you're at an ultra modern space station training center. It's all red white and blue with cool bean bag cubes and a high read more

My daughter won a free certificate at the hockey game. The experience was amazing. She says it beats the giant swing at Kings Dominion. We recommend the $5 upgrade for face shield and $10 for high fly. We probably will not be able to return. The price on its own is out of our budget. read more

This place was great. The instructors worked well with everyone and made adjustments to fit the needs and abilities (or lack there of) per person. It would be a great gift for any age. This is a very professional group. read more

Professional safe and exhilarating. Had a great time with great instructors had more fun in 4 minutes and I've had all year. We'll come back

Just wanted to say thank you to the gentleman men who took care of me and my friends. We more then enjoyed our time with you Mark! Thank you for the kick ass time on top. Our hair is a mess but it was worth the ride! Marks amazing!!!! read more

iFLY - Exactly what we needed :) - Skydiving Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

There is no way in HELL I'd pay $60 to sit and take a 40-minute instructional class just to learn how to be properly whipped around by wind for 1 minute......apparently there are ALOT of suckers in Hampton Roads (and from other places) that has and will continue to do so! If I am expected to pay that, then at least give me 30-minutes of being whipped around.......geeez! read more

This was a I did it thing and never need to do it again. We had family visiting and this was one of the things we did. Our weight ranged from 200-250. You cant wear any jewelry and have to take it off. They do offer lockers for free. You do get one free picture with proof you parked in the parking garage behind them. We only had 6 people in our group and 4 of them was my family. We had a great group and that made a difference. We all gave high fives and encouraged one another. It has a quick video explaining everything and then instructor comes back in, you have to get up in front of everyone and free fall on the table. The table has cloth and cushing on it. I wouldn't have been ok if if had a ton more people in the room because of anxiety. The young man was nice but I felt like he was new. He seemed a little nervous or anxious. It showed more when we actually went in the tube. So we are thicker people and we need to be held up more when I'm the tube. He actually dropped one person in our party and they landed on the screen in the corner. He couldn't get them up and the person in our party just rolled himself over. The lighter people in our group did much better and floated and had to be held down. Everyone opted to go higher except me. I didn't know they would have a different instructor doing it. I didnt have a lot of faith in our instructor as I said I think he was new. This was just alright for me. Maybe if I was smaller and didnt have to kinda be held up. I don't feel the need to ever go back. read more

Wow!!! This was fun!!!! We started in Williamsburg enjoying ourselves when we found the flyer for i fly. We drove over an hour away to give this a try. I admit I was nervous about attempting this but I can say for sure it was totally worth it. The staff was very helpful and put our minds at ease. Zach our flight instructor was full of energy and confidence and helped us get over our fear. He was very knowledgeable and pushed us to go further than we're would have done on our own. If this is something that you have been thinking about all I can say is it's definitely worth it. The only suggestion I have is if your going to try it during a school vacation or spring break definitely make a reservation. They book up quickly read more

Cheaper than expected. More fun than expected. Harder than expected. Went on my birthday and got a "high fly" for free. The place is big and well lit and organized. From the way it looks when you walk in you don't question if the fans might break or the instructors don't know what they are doing. Very "put together" after a quick video you get some pointers on how to position yourself and some hand signals and then you're ready to go. The experience was great. Like learning to swim for the first time. Not knowing how to move your body. The instructors are fun and knowledgeable. It's a really fun time. read more

Great experience, HORRID customer service. I paid extra to have a video of two flights (it was an anniversary gift), and they said they would email me the video. I never received the video, and when I finally got in contact with somebody they said that they only keep video for 30 days and then delete it. This was NEVER stated to me, and when I called they just said "Yeah, sorry, that's our fault", and did not give me a refund for the videos I paid for. So disappointed in this location. They will never get my business again, and I suggest you try another location or company if you want pictures or videos. Such a shame and waste of money. read more

A friend and I decided to give this a try today. I was a little nervous about the whole experience. I'm not exactly a dare devil by any means. But our instructor was great. In fact all the instructors were. While we sat waiting for our turn to go into the class different flight instructors sat and chatted with us and explained some of what was going to happen before we ever went through the teaching brief. While this time I wasn't brave enough to do a high flight I still had a blast! It was very freeing to just float around and feel weightless for a bit. I definitely want to go back and try again. This time with a little less fear! read more

Had the best birthday experience at iFly in Virginia Beach...Phil was our instructor and he did an amazing job with my kids and I...he even did some amazing flight skills at the end of our session. ..will definitely do this again next year on our vacation. read more

You're reading the reviews on this location, so go ahead and book your flight too while you're at it. The facility is clean and the staff is fully engaged and ready to get you in the tunnel. I've always wanted to skydive out of a plane, but after hearing that skydivers actually come to ifly locations to train/get flight hours, I said why not do the next best thing until I get the time (and courage) to leap out and free fall from the sky? We had an amazing time. Our instructor was laid back, and encouraged us to ask any and all questions during the mandatory training video we were watching. Pay attention to the hand signals! The suit I had was a little uncomfortable but I was told as long as it fit and zipped up I was fine. The experience in the tunnel is a for sure adrenaline rush. They go in with you and hold the straps on your back/sides and if your positioning is on point, they let you do your thing a little bit. Again, awesome experience and cool staff. I 100% recommend. read more

Fantastic time with the kids. It is very expensive and the time is very short, but well worth the experience. The staff was very nice. It's a did that, done it type of thing. Made our vacation extra memorable. Thanks to the staff for being so nice. You kids do a good job. read more

This place is so awesome !!! I got my boyfriend tickets for us for our anniversary since he always wanted to try this place out. I was a little hesitant since I am not exactly the dare devil type myself, but I figured I would suck it up for the sake of a good gift haha. Well let me tell you, you don't need to be a dare devil to try this place out. We were first timers and couldn't get enough! After you sign in, you go upstairs where the wind tunnel is located. There is seating around the tube for spectators, but don't be afraid of embarrassment while you're in the tube-- the time flies so fast (literally) that you don't even realize people are watching you! Plus, it gets you a great view to cheer on your fellow fliers! After watching a short video about how to position yourself while flying, you get suited up with your gear and prepare for the time of your life! They have free lockers available to place your belongings in. They also have restrooms right on the second floor. Each flyer goes in the wind tunnel for one minute and you get to go twice. On the second round your instructor takes you all the way up the tube which is so crazy (in a good way)! At the end of it all, you receive a nice flight certificate and can go downstairs to purchase videos or pictures. It was definitely an unforgettable experience and once I have the proper funds, I hope to come back! read more

My family enjoyed a great evening flying tonight with Zach and the crew at Virginia Beach iFly. My sister has limited mobility of her left side due to a stroke and Zach did a fantastic job making sure she had a fantastic flight - in fact, we all think she did the best! The team took great care to evaluate each person in the group and ensure everyone had a great experience. Many thanks - we'll be back again! read more

Awesome location if you want to experience some wind tunnel, which is similar to skydiving (without a parachute and landing). Our instructor, David, was excellent and very expert). Highly recommended if you are in virginia beach area. read more

Yes it is a bit pricey which is why it is not getting 5 stars. But people need to understand their insurance, equipment, maintenance and trained staff has to astronomical. The experience itself I give 10 stars! I took my very adventurous 6 year old granddaughter and she was thrilled she was jumping up and down and applauding for EVRY person that went through. I bought a package for 10 more flights which was way cheaper....the first time is the most expensive. read more

Awesome fun time! Fly hi and watch out for drool. Yours that is. Price is not a cheap activity but worth the extra dollars for the experience. Birthday celebrators ....free hi fly with your purchase. Definitely a great time, awesome experience, and a little fast heart beating moments. read more

We took our two boys for their birthday party today at ifly. We had 8 in our group. Our flight instructor was Nate who was awesome. It was amazing how he made each person's flight unique and exciting. I would 100% recommend this as a birthday party location or just for fun. Most of all ask for Nate for an awesome experience. Also, Misty was awesome on the phone helping me to plan my event. It has a family feel, the staff works well together. Definitely would visit again. Thanks Ifly Va Beach read more

I made a reservation for 9/7/2015 at 12:30pm, tonight while I was at a lecture and couldn't answer my phone they changed my reservation to 3:00pm without talking to me at all! When I called them back I was told to keep my 12:30pm reservation, but when I got home I had a 3:00pm reservation, WTF! This certainly isn't going well. What type of customer service is this that just changes months in advance reservations to a time that doesn't work for its customers. I was looking forward to doing this, but now I am second guessing the management after such RUDE treatment. We will have to see how the management is going to fix this as their behavior is UNACCEPTABLE! read more

So iFLY was so much fun for being an alternative to sky diving. I went for three flights and I had a blast each time I went. The instructors are fun, talented and educated. So the overall experience gets five stars where they plummeted was when it came time to purchase photos and videos. I definitely want both to commemorate the moment so we get to the screen purchase out pictures, and to my surprise they are sent to you electronically. I when I was finally able just to load the pictures and videos, I was able to save the pictures but stupidly you can't save the videos. That immediately pissed me off. How do you purchase something that you can't even save. It sends you to a link where you go to watch it. I feel scammed, I was really looking forward to having the video and know I don't know what to do. I don't know if eventually it's going to expire and I loose it completely. So bummed and disappointed. They need to do better when it comes to their media and being able to purchase them. I would prefer a physical copy than online. If online is necessary at least send me something I can save and download to my phone. read more

We went for my dad's 72nd Birthday and LOVED it! He went to one in Vegas but none of us have gone. Even our 6 year did it! They were great with her. Zack was our instructor and we loved him. Highly recommend going it is an experience! read more

I took my 8 and 5 year olds. Their instructor Nate was awesome with the kids and really helped them be excited and do awesome in the wind tunnel. Highly recommend him and iFLY VB! read more

We visited iFly today because my son wanted to do this for his 18th birthday. Our instructor was Phil not only was he awesome his tricks at the end of our flights were the best we had seen in the few hours we were there. If you are out at the beach you should definitely check iFly out you won't regret it and the cost is reasonable. "Our Instructor Phil ROCKED" read more

By far one of the most awesome activities I've ever done. My boyfriend and I visited the Virginia Beach location a little over a year ago and right away was greeted by Sarah. Super sweet girl and helped us get set up. We had our flying section with Collin. Super chilled dude and shows us the ins and outs and explained the directions super clear. It was a bit scary since I've never gone sky diving before and probably the closest I'll come to sky diving lol. Wouldn't think twice about coming back. Fully recommend! read more

VERY FUN! Took my 11 year old daughter and she LOVED every second. They teach them the basics in a classroom before their 'flight' and give instructions on the way to wear the special gear like earplugs and goggles. I'm only giving this 4 stars for a couple reasons, for one the original price didn't include the 'flight' up the tube. Upon entering I found out the package you first buy only allows you to go instructor eye high and that it would be another $10 to go higher, it DEFINITELY is worth the money but should be included in original cost. This leads me to the 'upgraded' helmet, again should just be a choice with original cost. We were able to take pictures and/or video while watching her however they offer a video and photo package for $40. Somehow they didn't get any pictures of her flight but they did have the video that they emailed me to for free to compensate. Overall it's the best thing she will probably remember from our trip and we would definitely do this again. read more

Great place to take the kids, even the smallest of adventurers will enjoy. It is a bit on the pricey side but didn't see anyone that appeared to not be having a good time. Staff was friendly, enthusiastic, and great with all ages. They took the time to make sure everyone knew what to do and felt safe. I would highly recommend this place for thrill seekers. read more

Great experience! Cameron was our instructor and he's extremely friendly as well as knowledgeable. Not to mention the super hero shit he did in the tunnel after the newbies got done getting tossed around haha. The staff here seems to genuinely enjoy their jobs. From the guy in the control booth to the front end personnel and the instructors they just seem happy to be there. That's so rare now a days it was really refreshing to see. read more

This is what I like about Yelp, it lets you post a review even if it is negative, unlike Trip Adviser which I do not trust and will not use anymore do to the fact that the business's pay to keep bad reviews off. Now here is my experience with IFly. I did the initial flight in the tunnel and I did 4 minutes. It is very expensive and I don't mind paying for things that I enjoy. My wife always says that people spend their money differently and I choose to spend it on things that are fun and adventurous. That being said that IFly cost is $40 a minute. So 4 minutes is $160. Now I enjoyed it enough to buy another 4 minutes to use another day. I got that at half price if I bought it right after I flew. Here is the reason for the 1 star. I go back to use the 4 minutes two days later after reserving my time for 10 AM on their website and when I show up it did not go through. The staff was more interested in getting the people standing behind me signed up then getting my problem resolved. The place was jumping at 10 in the morning and the staff was busy getting everyone signed up and in but the guy who was the return customer and who's money they already had. There was no offer to get me into the rotation and get me flying, just a come back another time we are booked today. Here is the kicker, they thought that they would not have to refund my money because the girl says you can still use the coupon just not right now, to which I replied that I would destroy them online if I didn't get my money back. Then I got my refund. I am not even sure I got the money back yet because it was suppose to go on my bank card, however it appears now that they took another 77 out of my account instead of refunding it. So now I have that headache to deal with. I will not be recommending them or going back unless they are able to make things right. We will see and if they do I will update this review. Being a business owner myself I do offer people a chance to make things right, but I can tell you I would never of handle the situation the way the girl at the front desk did. I even explained to her what would of been the right thing to do customer service wise and she just did not get it. read more

What a great time! Went with a large group from Biz Connect and had my name drawn to fly. It was lots of fun and I'm planning to take my granddaughter next time she's in town. I can see this for family fun, a group of friends, or a business event. Very safe and professional experience so don't be scared! Go to IFly and live a little!! read more

Awesome time! Came with the Homeschool group and really enjoyed the STEM presentation with Dr. Bob. My daughter really enjoyed the flight. Highly recommend! read more

An amazing experience! Feel the thrill of skydiving in a safe and controlled environment. The orientation can teach everyone, even the little ones, all they need to have a great time. It's cheaper than actual sky-diving; we saw some sky-divers coming here for practice. If your friends want to watch but not participate, the tunnel is surrounded by clear panels and a seated viewing area. They even video tape your time in the tunnel, you can view the video and chose to purchase afterwards if you like. Super fun! Highly recommend! read more
