Indoor Skydiving | Skydive Simulator

Indoor skydiving is the safest and most convenient way to experience the same rush as tandem skydiving! Nearly anyone can do Indoor Skydiving from Ages 3 to 103. No experience is necessary to capture the feeling of freefall. 

Powered by multiple fans located at the end of the skydiving simulator, the vertical wind tunnel produces a wall-to-wall airflow that is indistinguishable from freefalling at over 11,000ft. Professional indoor skydiving instructors make the most of the airflow so you can truly experience the closest thing to human flight!
