This is the only USPA group member drop-zone in the state of Kentucky. They offer tandem skydives, first jump courses, rigging services, and allow licensed jumpers at this location. For aircraft they have both a C-206 and C-182. Manifest helped us make the first plane load of the day. The drop-zone owner, Jim was friendly and pointed out some of the landmarks on the flight to altitude, which was pretty neat. They take tandem reservations online, have an indoor packing area, and are primarily only open on weekends. Yes, you should go make a skydive if you are in the area. read more

Gave a phone call, had a couple questions, the guy that answered seemed agitated that I called while he was driving on "I-65". I was just trying to see if I could come in this upcoming weekend considering I filled out papers and watched videos. Mind you I did all that almost a year ago, while I was trying to beat the expiration date. I can't give the experience a 1 star because I didn't get to do it yet but I give the customer experience a 1 for not sounding interested in what I had questions for. read more

It just feels like you're part of the "family" when you walk in. (I know cliche but comforting).. Kevin (my tandem master) was so personable and fun to jump with. Thank you all for the great time. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Awesome! It was So fun and instructors Kevin and Mike were fantastic. We Would do it again!!!

Nice owner, helpful, knowledgeable, it's on an busy airport so it can feel hectic. They have sewing services for rigging which can be rare.

Skydive Kentucky was a perfect experience. They are wonderfully welcoming and make you feel perfectly safe. Their instructors exude confidence and will make you feel at ease as you get ready to exit a perfectly good aircraft lol. Btw...it's a great idea for a first date, trust me! read more

I promised my son years ago to take him skydiving for his 18th birthday and as he finally hit 18 this month, it was time. We were both a little nervous as it was our first time ,but the staff and instructors at SkyDive KY did a great job making us feel comfortable. You are literally trusting them with your life and they know it. Our skydive was delayed a few hours by the weather so we ended up spending a few hours waiting ( no complaints there , we would rather be safe than sorry ) , but waiting was never uncomfortable , the staff was incredibly friendly the whole time and engaging with us while we waited. They kept us up to date on how the weather was moving and our current ETA . Overall it was an amazing experience and we will definitely be back next year for our next sons 18th birthday. read more

After having jumped with another company I feel compelled to leave a review for Skydive Kentucky. I felt completely safe and in control with Kevin at Skydive Kentucky. I knew every step of the way what was going to happen and what to expect from him and what he expected from me. With this other company I felt left in the dark. And if I hadn't jumped before I would have been totally in the dark. But because I jumped with Kevin at Skydive Kentucky first, I was prepared and knew what to expect. Yeah, I saw different landscape, but I didn't feel the comfort of being with someone that had my best interest at heart. I will always come back to Skydive Kentucky and I am eternally grateful for jumping with Kevin at Skydive Kentucky first! I am completely smitten with this sport and I am hopeful they will help lead me in getting my A license so I can jump alone read more

Skydive Kentucky - Skydive Kentucky happy day Look at me! - Skydiving Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

I've jumped several times before at other places and this place was a terrible experience. I was treated extremely poorly for no reason, I waited hours and then didn't even get to jump. Go to the skydiving place in Cincinnati or somewhere else I promise. read more

I can't recommend this place enough. This was probably the best experience of my life and our instructors Mike and Mike were the absolute best people I can imagine to take you on this adventure. I will absolutely be back! read more

This was an experience of a lifetime! I was in good hands with Kerry my tandem instructor, he prepared me well, and felt confident in his ability to guide me through the process. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was laid back. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! read more

I don't know what to say... I had a BLAST!!!!!! This was my first time and Kevin was my "Master". Not only was he funny, friendly, and totally professional, but he's the kind of guy I'd follow into battle!! I literally trust him with my life. Thank you guys for giving me a story to tell for the rest of my life! Plus, all my friends think I'm a badass now read more

So much fun! I thought I would be more nervous but the staff made me feel very comfortable and almost made me forget I was jumping out of a plane! Mike M. Was fabulous. I would definitely go again and would recommend this experience to anyone... read more

This place is Absolutely Incredible. My instructor for my jump was Mike " The OG". This man made it fun and exciting. He made me feel extremely comfortable and was a wonderful man and soul. I hope everytime I go back I get to jump with him. He made my experience ridiculously amazing, kept me laughing, and at ease about the whole experience. This dude F'n Rocks man. I would pay $10,000 for this experience. I would recommend this to Everyone to try at least once. I cannot wait to schedule another jump. I would like to give a shout out to Tammy at the desk as well. Her and her husband were awesome people. Great Place - 5,000 stars. Thank you Skydive Kentucky for making my experience so wonderful and exciting. read more

Fantastic first skydive! The trainers and instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. I had a 3PM appointment and was out by 4:15. Highly recommend coming here to skydive! read more

Skydive Kentucky - Sky high and loving it :) - Skydiving Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

Every aspect of the Skydive Kentucky was amazing. Friendly staff, instructors, pilots, and tandem jumpers. It was my first time jumping and for sure won't be my last. I was never out at first but once you get in the air it's something else. read more

What an awesome experience. The instructors, pilots and others that are involved with Skydive KY where outstanding. My daughters purchase me a tandem jump for my birthday. The instructors very professional yet fun. Great class then plane ride to 10,500 feet. Freefall for around 35 seconds, then I pulled the cord for main chute at 5500 feet . What a view as we floated down for and additional 5 minutes doing right and left turns. Smooth easy landing next to hanger with family waiting. I recommend renting the GoPro camera that goes on your wrist. Have Fun!! read more

Visited Skydive KY and was impressed. The staff are very personable and highly experienced. Safety is their priority and I would recommend this operation to anyone looking to skydive in the Louisville / Lexington area. Highly recommended. read more

My first Yelp review for my first skydiving Tandem jump. The only thing I knew when I went in, was that I would be jumping from a plane, with a man behind ensuring that I am safe. Turns out there was more. Understood some basics of sky diving, learnt about steering a parachute and got to pull the ripcord when the time was right. I am thrilled even a day after. Will probably show up again at some point, and might go for a solo jump. I wasn't sure I would consider that, but the people here have put me at ease enough to consider that I can do this on my own. Thank you guys. See you soon. read more

This place is awesome! Did my 1st jump at CSC in Rochelle, IL and the staff here was much more personable and informative. Mike Mann was my tandem instructor and we had a blast! He really put me at ease and made it a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Skydive Kentucky to anyone looking to go skydiving. Would make for a great 1st jump! read more

The people at Skydive Kentucky are both very nice and very good and what they do. They're professionals so you get the feeling right away that you're in good hands. Their safety check are all adhered to and they make you feel as comfortable as one can feel about jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 feet. Really cool! read more

This place was just amazing! The competency of the staff and the way they make you feel at ease will make anyone feel comfortable jumping out of a plane nearly 2 miles high. It was such a rush that all you want to do when you land is jump again and again. Big shout out to Mike, Eric, and Mike for making our jumps memorable and giving us an experience of a lifetime! I would highly recommend this place for any first timers or experienced veterans. The prices are reasonable and the staff makes all the difference. Even Scruffy, the cute little dog that is your companion throughout the training and setup phase. -From your fellow first timers: Dan, Jake, Suzy, Jasmine, and Pete read more

CANT GO WRONG!!!!!! This place is amazing! Family oriented and very very very friendly. You'll get to know the guys and everything! Did my first tandem here and it was awesome! After a week or two i came back to get my license and got it within two weeks! They're just really friendly and always give friendly advice. Sadly i moved to Arizona and for beginners, they dont even offer static line here. I can only tell you this, Skydive KY has static line for your license and costs ALOT less than most places! If you want to jump with a group or get your license, honestly, go to this place and trust me, you will LOVE IT! read more

Went for a static line jump Saturday October 12 with my husband for our anniversary. This was the first jump for either of us. We hadn't even done a tandem before. The calssroom training given to us by video and supplemented by Dusty was very thorough and straight-forward. Harness and gorund training from Jim was also very thorough and complete. All the staff was extremely friendly and patient. It is very evident that safety is their number on epriority and having fun is number 2. They are a very proffessional but fun group of people with excellent customer service and interaction with each other and the customers. They feel like friends from the beginning gaining your trust and confidence in a sport that requires a high amount of each be given to the instructors. We will definitely visit them again in the future as wella s recommend them to any of our friends interested in jumping in the future. read more

rude, rude, rude... I will NEVER NEVER NEVER use this place, they are JERKS!!! I have met nicer people in the gutter!!! I will clarify why I made this review: First and foremost, I am old school with customer service, I have worked with customer service since I was 14, I have always gone above and beyond, and while I know this is not going to happen everywhere I go, I do expect to be treated with respect. That being said, I called this establishment requesting a donation for a dual fundraiser for a non-profit I am representing. The owner said he gets calls several times a week, I said I understood. The owner then said he gets calls from people wanting to send their kids to school functions and other events that are frankly the parents responsibilities, I again said I understood. I was asked what was the purpose of my fundraiser, I explained to him the purpose, (raising monies to help with expenses so one gal can attend trials for her parents murders, the second one was to help raise monies for a gentleman who has had two back surgeries and now finishing treatment for throat cancer, he has been unable to work for four months). I was told he could think of 50 more deserving causes. I said I understood. (I really think at this point, he is having a really horrible day and looking to take it out on someone, on me), I have only met these 2 people once, briefly. They are human beings in our community who need help. They have experienced tragedy, they need compassion and assistance without someone telling them they are not worthy, they feel that enough every day going through what they are going through. I was asked why I would bother calling him for a donation and what in the world I wanted from him, I explained whatever he thought he could donate and felt appropriate to donate if he was willing to and that I was really trying to make this a wonderful fundraiser, that I was reaching for the stars, it was a dual fundraiser, and I was trying to do the best job I could since it was my first, and I was told to take his company name off my mailing list (like we have called him in the past). So I apologized for bothering him and offending him and hung up. I have since been contacted to discuss this, and missed the call, I tried to call back, and have not received a return call. On a personal note: I have been skydiving twice, and highly recommend it, but at this point, I will drive to Indy over this location because of the treatment I got on the phone. A simple "No, we are unable to donate" would have been sufficient, I was in no way, shape or form pushy with the owner, I tried to get off the phone with him after the first insulting comment, but he just kept going on and on with the questions. It doesn't matter if what you are selling it worth $2 or $200, you don't treat people like dirt, kind owner, word of mouth will come back and bite you when you bite at those who contact you. read more

Our tandem skydiving wa terrific. Training was thorough and the whole experience was both terrifying and fantastic!
