Put on your flight suit, helmet, and googles and meet your instructor, who will teach you the basics of flying. Then you’ll be introduced to iFly’s flight chamber.

The flight chamber is a wind tunnel with a wall-to-wall air column that mimics skydiving… without the heights. Your instructor will be right there to spot you if you need help, but most people just float blissfully on the column of air during their flight.

Because of the way the flight chamber is designed, you won’t experience any stomach-dropping, nausea, or motion sickness.

Once you’ve experienced your first flight, you’ll want to come back for more! As your skills advance, you’ll learn to do flips and tricks in the wind tunnel.

You’ll have a blast with friends and family members here, and it’s the perfect activity for a birthday party or family get-together. For your first flying experience, you’ll fly alone in the flight chamber while others in your party watch, but with more experience, you can fly with your friends!

Kids as young as three years old are able to fly in the wind tunnel. Until then, they can watch the action and look forward to their own flights!
