We did the iFly experience on New Year, January 1st, and we had a blast as a family.It was such a fun activity for us. We got to experience skydiving; flying indoor in the tunnel and it was very short (2 minutes flying experience and each person got to fly twice) The place was clean, the staffs were friendly, our instructor, Braxton, was helpful and was able to answer our concerns and questions.We loved it so much we decided to take advantage of their promotion package price after our first flight experience.We'll be back!

Fun place to sky dive! Great instructors! They were so helpful and made a great experience sky diving! We upgraded to the better helmet and free pictures. The helmet was nice, but getting the pictures and videos was not convenient, you have to choose everything and purchase, then they email you the information later.

Such an amazing first time experience! Came here to celebrate the BFs bday on July 4th and definitely one to remember! It can be a bit intimidating at first, but once you do your first flight, it can get addicting! I booked online. Each person gets a minimum of two flights in a package. You can definitely buy more if you prefer. After your first visit, you get a certificate, which allows you to do more "difficult" stunts/tricks the next time you visit. You get instructions from an instructor before you suit up and put all your gear on. All from how you hold your hands and feet with all the signals and cues. You even can get pics and videos of your flight experience on their website after. I suggest also adding the "high" fly to your visit as well. Thank me later

We had a fun group date night at iFly! The instructions, instructor, and flight was amazing. I was super nervous, but, if you are a beginner, you don't have to go high up. The instructor held onto me the entire time. The facility is clean and you get to put your things in a locker. The only wish I had is that it didn't cost $90 for a two minute flight.

This was an experience. I love heights, roller coasters and climbing. I have always wanted to actually skydive, so this could have been considered "baby steps." The actual occurrence was way more difficult than I thought it would be, and a lot less fun. When you come in, prepare to step on a scale... They need to know your weight for technical reasons, but that wasn't a good start for me. Only the check-in attendant sees your weight, but still. Then after a long wait we went into a classroom environment. There were five hand signals that you needed to know. As well as a short video you were required to watch. This was followed by a "suiting up" process where you are given what looks like a penitentiary jumpsuit, earplugs, a stocking cap and a helmet. Then you need to lock your personal items away... And then, finally a very long wait time in an airlocked glass chamber. During our wait the instructor yelled in my general direction "if you are not smiling, I will kick you out of here!" Power trip much? If I wanted to be yelled at for hundreds of dollars... There are particular adult places for that. Not my thing, so I didn't appreciate that. I am rather shy, so I was not thrilled that there were spectators for what I knew wasn't going to be a flattering showing for me. And it wasn't. Clad in my gray jail jumpsuit I looked like a physically challenged, clumsy, flying squirrel up there. Still the "flying" was a novel experience but very strenuous. Attempting to keep my body straight while in the air was something I wasn't prepared for. Also, we were told to "relax, but stay perfectly still." At the end of the session we were presented with certificates. A nice touch. As we were leaving we were offered additional return trips at a discounted price costs, but you had to purchase them right then and there. We didn't opt for them because we hadn't properly processed the entire experience yet. We were still reeling from adrenaline and unsure how we felt about it yet. We also don't tend to respond to pressure to decide on the spot. We had already spent close to $300 on the expedition.So three days later... We are dealing with excruciating back pain, from holding our bodies in a form that it wasn't used to in an unnatural environment.Based on the instructions, constant coaching during the sessions and the threat... The business model seems focused on getting repeat visitors. Offering skills and a basic understanding of the sport, rather than maximizing participant experience by making sure that they have an enormous amount of fun the first time. In the end, we got pictures and a video of us soaring through the air and a chance to do so, which is not a thing most of us do every day. So I will end this as I began... It was an experience.

It's disheartening when you make reservations 4 months ago to show up and they won't honor the package that was purchased at another Ifly, after letting them know what we purchased, where we purchased, and how we divided the time down amongst 3 flyers. The front desk clerk was nothing but a human shell with blonde hair and attitude. The manager was not worth even dealing with. We will never be back. We will continue to go to the Ifly in Jacksonville, and we will have our family and friends from the Charlotte NC area meet us in Jacksonville from now on. The instructors were amazing with the other two people we had in our group, but 3 teens that have been going to the Ifly in Jacksonville for a few years now weren't able to fly.

You've got to do this at least once in your lifetime. I took my husband here for a Valentine's Day outing. When booking, you reserve a time slot. Upon arrival, you check in and sit in the main lobby where you can watch people flying. At your scheduled time, you put your flight suit over your clothes, being sure to take off ALL jewelry. They have lockers for you to lock up your belongings. If there's a ring that won't come off or in my case, that you're Not taking off they'll loan you a glove. Because the wind speeds vary between 100-175mph anything not tied down is susceptible to be blown off. You'll be grouped with other people (around 10 total) and taken to a room where you're given instructions. Our instructor was Boo. He was totally rad, with thousands of hours of indoor skydiving time and hundreds of hours of skydiving time. He did a great job addressing any concerns that people may have. Because the wind tunnel is so loud, it's important to learn the sign language that will be used while you're flying. Finally, you go out to the wind tunnel with your group and you're put in the wind tunnel one at a time for an experience you will remember forever. It's a good team building exercise and a cool feeling. The actual flights are a minute or two, but that's enough time. I would suggest getting at least 2 flights and upgrading to the high fly. They offer significantly discounted flights if you want to return. They have party rooms, so you can have parties here. Needless to say, we'll be returning one day.Tip: IF you can bring someone who does't want to fly to take pictures, that'd be great. Our pictures from the business were "Okay".

IFly is so much fun! It was a great experience. We went to the iFly in Atlanta and wanted to try it again. This location is much smaller than the Atlanta one. While our experience in Atlanta was great, it was so fast paced. I think that's because it was so busy. The entire experience felt rushed. We didn't feel rushed one time in Charlotte. When we checked in, we were asked if we wanted to upgrade our package. We opted only to upgrade the helmets because we wanted the visor instead of regular goggles. We were early so we had to wait for our group's turn. When it was time, our instructor introduced himself. We got our gear. They offer lockers -- you have to put all personal items in the lockers. Then we went to a classroom to watch a tutorial. Our group went into the tunnel. When we purchased our session, we chose a higher flight. The higher flight is always done on your second turn. I definitely would recommend it! It's so much fun! At first, it's scary then it just feels crazy. Afterwards, they give you time to take pictures in your gear before turning it in. Then you receive a certificate. You can purchase pictures and videos from the session, which are posted on their website. Masks are required. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would definitely return!

My wife planned this activity for us to try during her birthday month. From standing on the outside of the building you can tell your are in for a treat. Upon arrival we are checked in and weighted. Yes, weighted to ensure you don't exceed the limits for flying. After that we checked in a small room and handed our jumpsuits to go through the drill and understand hand signals when in the air chamber. It seems easier than it looks but it's not that easy. You're impaired in a small group of maybe four others on this date we had two other couples and the mother and daughter and boy was it fun you're sealed into the tube chamber as one person goes at a time immediately you're thrust into the air having to remember all of those hand signals moving your arms legs head up. But it is a true adrenaline feed once you get the hang of it you're able to balance and turn on your own. I would highly suggest paying extra to go higher and also capturing a photo and video for the moment. After going a few times it is addictive and I can see myself paying for a membership to this place it is fun the employees are professional and patient while you learn the trick to flight.
