    What a great experience. It was my second time jumping in my life and this one was so much easier. I also got a chance to drive which she don't always get your first time. When you arrive, you go to a classroom, fill out paperwork, show your ID And then go to the hanger BAY and wait for your instructor to call your name. What's you're done, you will be put in your harness and then you'll wait a little bit more and then you go to the plane to go make your jump. Back on the ground, you'll be giving your certificate anyway maybe about 1015 minutes and you'll get your thumb drive with your video and photos. All in all, and absolutely safe and fun experience that I would recommend to anyone. Thanks again for a great morning adventure!

    Absolutely the most wonderful experience and amazing birthday gift for my son. We had a blast! Professionals that showed us an excellent skydiving thrill and a special day we will never forget!

    Overall it was a great experience. Like some of the earlier posts we also bought the Groupon only to have the fear of death described to us if we choose to do the 12,000 jump in the smaller plane. We weren't to upset since like most small businesses they have undoubtedly taken a hit from the Covid pandemic. We upgraded to 15,000 foot jump but almost all the others on the plane were signed up for an 18,000 ft jump. Both instructors were great and the process was smooth. You can't beat the views and we definitely walked away feeling it a very professional operation. Give it a try and enjoy life. We only have 1 go around!

    This was an amazing experience for everyone that jumped out of a plane with me. Chris was my instructor and he made it incredibly special for me! The place was very easy to get to and the facility was clean. We took the purple plane up and I gotta say the whole trip to 18000 feet and descend to the earths crust was about 15-20 mins. Will definitely come back and jump out again! Again if you're thinking about skydiving just do it!!!

    This was a surprise birthday gift from my girlfriend and it was a great surprise! We showed up on the time schedule and no clear direction where to go when you first arrive but everybody congregated around the park benches. Staff then slowly arrived and began to brief individuals. We got the 12,000 ft jump but they upsold us on the fact that because we purchased that height we would most likely go last we 15,000 and 18,000 going first so we upgraded for $50 a person. The instructor once we got him was great very informative straight to the point and gets you prepared. Once your ready they load up at about 6-8 at a time. That's wear the suspense kicks in as you quickly climb up into the sky! The jump itself was breathtaking (literally) at first it feels like you can't breathe but then you get the rhythm and really take in the amazing view, once and a life time experience! After the jump is over they do push to purchase the pictures and video. I bought both for around $100 and i recommend to just buy the video because pictures are just screenshots from video. Overall great experience only reasons for 4/5 is because up charge for 15,000 ft wasn't necessary everybody jumped out the same plane and up charge for pictures wasn't necessary if they are just go pro screenshots.

    Took my son to Skydive Space Center for his 18th Birthday. I upgraded to the 18k skydive, but according to FlightAware and the instructors digital altimeter, they jumped from 14,600. Do not recommend the 18k upgrade. Nonetheless, good memory for his 1st jump.

    Manny was my instructor and he was amazing!!! We had so much fun and felt safe the whole time!! I will definitely be back!

    Decided to come here after reading some great reviews on Groupon but purchased the jump over the phone. They were super nice and very helpful with all of my questions. When we got there, everyone was very nice! We arrived at 8:50 am for a 9 am jump time. Spencer got on the plane around 9:45 in the second group. He was back on the group at 10 am, we waited for the photos and we left around 10:45 am. I would say overall, Great timing on everything! We got a free shirt, and came home with awesome photos! Rodrigo was so easy to talk to, and great instructor but everyone else also seemed fun and great.

    What an experience! I have wanted to go skydiving for about 7 years now and finally decided that it was time to make my dreams a reality. After receiving several recommendations for Skydive Space Center, I decided to book my jump. I booked my jump through their website and after reading other Yelp reviews, I think I would recommend this way of booking vs Groupon. I had no issues with my reservation at all. I arrived into the bustling room and was a little confused when I arrived. After I asked someone where to go...I had to find a clipboard with papers, fill them out, get an employee to check them, complete the payment (I had only paid a deposit online), then go outside and wait. My only complaint was that I was told to arrive at 9:00am and I did not jump until 11:30. I came from Tampa and would have liked to have known this. Once it was time to go, the jump masters got my harness ready and then I waited around some more. I met my jump master Nick who was AWESOME! He has done over 7,000 jumps and that made me so hyped to go. We got in the little plane, went up and then we jumped. It was the best experience and Nick really made it so enjoyable, communicating every step of the way. Since this was my first jump, I decided to pay for the video and photo package. The video was great and certainly gave me lots of laughs after & is a great way to re-live the jump. I wish they had had someone else filming instead of just the camera on Nicks arm, but it was still great. I would definitely recommend jumping at Skydive Space Center!!!

    The best tandem jumper in the business!!

    Absolutely love this place. From the administration to the jump master, we were in good hands! I wouldn't have chosen another location to send my son on his first jump. He said that it was the best thing he had ever done!! Will go back next time we're in Florida.

    This place makes dealing with cable companies feel like shopping at Publix. I have never left anything other than 5-star reviews. I wish I could give this place negative stars. It was the single worst experience I've ever had with any company, ever. See below for the full story and a "too lazy, didn't read" version of it. tl;dr: After driving 2.5 hours, we arrived at 7:55 for our 8 am reservation. Because we chose to do the 8,000 ft jump and didn't concede to the numerous upselling pitches the staff gave, every other person got to skydive that day except for us. At 12:30, we were eventually told that the weather was too bad and we couldn't skydive, despite the fact that people who had reservations hours after ours were able to. This place has high reviews because it's great if you're willing to do the most expensive packages. If you're on a tight budget though, expect to be treated like garbage. Full story: Myself and two others made reservations for the 8,000 foot jump that their website boasts as the "World's cheapest jump!!!" (see attached picture). After driving 2.5 hours to get there on Saturday morning, we arrived at 7:55. At 8, the doors opened and we went into a room where we filled out all the usual disclaimers signing your life away. After most people were done with the paperwork, a staff member played a video that I thought was going to an info video telling us about what to do skydiving. That was the process when I did a tandem jump in Palatka. Instead, the video was the start of what would become relentless upselling. The video marginalized the lower-level jumps, and made numerous points about why the higher (and thus more expensive) jumps were what you really needed to do. I would find out later that there were other waiting rooms. The one I was in was all the low-altitude jumpers, 8k and 11k feet. I'm assuming that the higher altitudes did not have to watch this video or suffer through the ensuing sales pitches. Once the video finished, a staff member reiterated all the points that the video made and then asked if anybody would like to upgrade to a better jump. Everybody else except for us did so. Here is a non-comprehensive list of the points they use to manipulate you into spending more money there: 1. If you don't do a higher jump, you might not get to skydive because at all because the higher-altitude jumps go before you. My response: This is a reprehensible business model. We had reservations for 8 am. We should have jumped before people that were scheduled for 9 or 10. The excuse that the staff gave for this was that they wanted us there at 8 am so they can let us know how great the higher dives are and then upgrade to a better one. One staff member literally told me to my face that I'm "uneducated" about skydiving and didn't know what I wanted. I have gone before, and knew exactly what I was doing with 8k jump. Since my group were the only ones who didn't give in to the sales pitch, all others that came that day got to dive except us. 2. "The lower-level jumps are fun, but if you want the time of your life you really need to go at 15k or 18k." My response: This was repeated to us so many times that I have the line memorized. The 8k and 11k jumpers were treated like second-rate dives that would barely be fun. We knew beforehand that at 8k feet there would be little freefall before the parachute deployed. It would still be extremely fun for those that have only jumped once, or not at all. 3. "I don't get extra money if you do a higher jump or not." My response: This was told to us by one of the staff members whose primary job is to persuade people to spend wayyyy more money. For us to upgrade, it would have doubled the cost of our trip from $100 each to $200 each. Also, they refused to let us upgrade to 11k feet. When asked why, they gave the non-answer of, "we just don't do that because the best jumps are at 15k and 18k." Translation: Give us more money. I could go on for another five pages about the other terrible things about this place. Do not go here.

    This was our first time sky diving, the introduction went by pretty fast. My instructor was great, I felt safe and he had been doing this for twenty years, so If course I felt better. Lol this was my big send off with my daughter before she left for the navy... the only thing I didn't care for was the push to buy all the added videos etc...

I recommend going during the weekday because the wait time is definitely shorter, I think I only waited 20 to 30 minutes. The weekend is busier and you can wait for to 3 hours before you're on the list. Safety is of the upmost importance so please be patient and listen to all the instructions, the instructors are amazing and pleasant and love their jobs and it makes our experience even more memorable.

    What an absolutely incredible first experience tandem skydiving for my son! It all started when he…read moreturned 18 and said he'd like to go skydiving. Fast forward many months later and he still hadn't gone. All of my research pointed me to Skydive Sebastian, and I am so glad I chose them! Their website is very user friendly, and you do all the booking online. You are welcome to call them with any questions or concerns, and everybody that I dealt with had the greatest customer service. I had many questions about the different photo packages available, and I'm really glad that we got one of the best ones! We actually drove an hour and a half to Sebastian just for this experience because of everything I had read, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. But first things first. You pull up to the airport, and there are signs pointing you all towards Skydive Sebastian. The area had a cute and clean layout, with a couple restrooms available. My son was going up in one of the first flights in the morning, but apparently there's even a little snack bar that We didn't get a chance to visit. When we arrived, they had all of his information already pulled from the website, and it was just a matter of him signing waivers... A lot of waivers, lol I was very impressed with the demeanor of all the instructors and staff. Everybody just seemed to be really happy to be there! Which when you're going up for a tandem skydive, is very important! The plane that my son rode on was great, and apparently they have a few planes available depending on what kind of jumpers they have that day. The package I bought my son included the tandem skydive, a hand cam of videos and pictures, and a separate skydiver that jumps out specifically to film him in the air. If you were only going to do this once in your life, I beg you not to skimp on this! My son couldn't be more thrilled with all the pictures and video he got from his jump! They had amazing ocean in inlet views both in the plane and during their jump! Although, I may have just created a monster because now he's already looking for another time to skydive again! They have a special that you can jump again the same day for $105, or you have a full year to come back and just do a tandem jump for $139. What wonderful incentive to get repeat business! My son is talking to a group of his college buddies and hopes that they can do it around Christmas time. This makes a perfect gift, or a perfect bucket list item to be checked off! If you're even contemplating skydiving, I highly suggest you check out Skydive Sebastian! You will not be disappointed! **Side note, My son had Oatsey as his instructor, and said he would definitely request him again when he goes back. He instilled a quiet sense of calm, but was also funny as hell and had my son in stitches.

Gatorland was started in 1949 by Owen Goodwin as a 1/2 day Family Attraction. It has since grown and now the Park has over 100+ Gators including a few albino's. Since I last visited the Park in 2018, Gatorland has added a Zipline with 5 lines which zip over Gators. This was an absolute MUST DO! The 2nd favorite thing I LOVE doing, is feeding the parakeets aka budgies You can purchase a bundle of popsicle sticks with peanut butter at one end rolled in bird seed. The Birds will flock to You and start eating. You can actually feel their "tootsies" on your skin and they are very warm. You MUST shuffle you feet to avoid stepping on the little ones who are pecking away at the dropped birdseed on the floor. My 3rd favorite thing is feeding the Gators. You can purchase Turkey hotdogs, break them into pieces and toss them to the Gators! They come swimming up to you to be fed. How COOL! My next favorite is the Gator Show which involves completely harmless Gator: wrestling. Basically the Trainer gently straddles the Gator and tips his chin under his. Be sure to come hungry as they have a cafe which serves, you guessed it: Gator bites/nuggets. They are SO yummy!Okay by now, you have figured it out: I LOVE the entire Park and highly recommend that if you visit Orlando, add Gatorland with Ziplining to your Vacay Adventure, you won't regret it!

    I went to Skydive Palatka to skydive for the first time on my birthday. I had the most amazing…read moretime!! The entire staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. 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!!

I was rudely informed that customers are expected to "plan on waiting hours to get their turn." It appears that this is actually a first come - first served operation. I was informed that, if I didn't like it, we could go somewhere else. We did! I've been involved in Army airborne operations for over 30 years and find Skydive Palatka unsatisfactory. I was, however, able to recover my credit card deposit. NO, I would NOT recommend Skydive Palatka. CW/5 Joe T. U.S. Army (Ret)
