"Indoor skydiving" facility offers adrenaline-seekers a safe alternative to the real thing in the form of a high-powered vertical wind tunnel that simulates free-fall flying.
Editor's Tips
- Fun Fact:
- Because the four 250-horsepower fans can circulate air at speeds upwards of 120mph, the same simulated free-fall technology is used to train both competitive skydivers and members of the U.S. military.
- Know Before You Go:
- People of all ages (children as young as 3 and even seniors into their 90s) can fly, so long as they're in good physical health and do not have back problems. Instruction is provided for first timers.
- When to Go:
- Rates vary by experience level, number of flights and time of day. Prices are often cheaper early in the morning. Call for details.
- The Extras:
- For an additional $24.95, you can buy a DVD of your party's time in the wind tunnel.

Awesome Time!

iFly is an amazing experince! You must try it!
I was so excited to try iFly since it opened a while back, and finally got the chance. I had read reviews about it before and wasn't sure what to expect.
The staff was super friendly and made us feel really comfortable with flying. The 1 minutes flys are exhilarating to say the least, lol! I was able to fly without the instructor holding onto me on my first try!
The prices are fair and the photos afterward are hilarious lol. I will be doing this again.
- Pros: SO MUCH FUN!

Great staff and amazing experience
by chuckeroonie at Citysearch
I am hooked. This is really a blast.
My whole family went for the first time 2 weeks ago (Mom, Dad, and 7 yr. old son). We've been back three times since and will return at least four more times over the next month or so.
The staff are very helpful and really work hard. Without exception, they really try to please. The check in process is very smooth and their explanation of what to expect is very good.
On my second visit I was so proud to have improved to the point that I could fly where ever I wanted and even flew to the exit under my own power. All due to the great instructors.
In my view, the only downside is that their packages are pretty inflexible. I would love to go a lot more often and am willing to shell out a bunch of money up front to buy hours in advance... but they lack any practical plan that meets that need, Bummer, because if they had such a plan, I'd bring 6-8 new friends in every week.
- Pros: Great staff, really try to please
- Cons: The various packages are somewhat inflexible

Amazing Place
by Aerialsoul at Citysearch
I have over 1300 skydives and I truly love iFlySFBay. I just can't get enough. I've taken many non-skydivers and they to have loved it -- from 3 yrs old to 60+, they all had a great time.
Just book in advance because the weekends are busy. And my recommendation for the first flight is to book for 4 mins of flying. 4 mins of tunnel time is about the same as 6 student skydives of airtime.
Hope to see you there.
- Pros: Easy, great location, You can Fly
- Cons: You can spend a lot of $$ going over and over
