Description

Defy gravity and simulate skydiving using advanced indoor skydiving technology at iFLY near San Francisco Bay. Professional instructors provide one-on-one guidance to help you control your flight using body positioning inside the wind tunnel.

The flight feels like freefall but without layering heavy clothes—the wind tunnel maintains ideal conditions year-round. The actual flight lasts two minutes, offering longer freefall time than a tandem skydive at a fraction of the cost.

The facility features multiple large fans producing wind speeds up to 185 mph (300 kph) and a pressurized staging area that accommodates up to 12 flyers simultaneously. The experience is safe for children and engaging for all skill levels.
