    Helpful and supportive staff for a first-time skydiver. Tandem skydiving with Brian was a fun and exhilarating experience!

    Believe it or not, free falling at 120mph is a joyous experience. You have no concept of speed nor…read moredo you feel like you're plummeting to the earth. There's no ground rush. The feeling is BLISSFUL. This is free fall and all you can do is appreciate this minute in a state of pure joy. It's awesome!!! If there's anything skydiving does, it opens up your world and makes you consider the possibilities. Skydiving is so much more than an adventure. For many, it's a life-changing experience! So above was my experience, now coming to this establishment (Sky is the limit) As it was COVID time, they check your temperature, make you sign 10 pages waivers ( including COVID one), you pay the amount at their counter (which has no shade). Then you wait for your instructor to call your name and then you wear the gears. On their website and also when I called they said, the jump would be from 13000 feet height. I was under the impression it would be 40-50 seconds of free fall following by 4-5 minutes of para-gliding. Lots of people mentioned the same in the review as well. But sadly, it was not the case with me. Was I disappointed after landing? Yes, feeling of free fall, rushing to earth 120 Miles/hr, all is okay but it was ended in 3 minutes. Freefall was hardly 20-25 seconds and 3 minutes of paragliding. The weather was good, it was not windy or cloudy. I don't care they took me to 2 seater plane which took 30+ minutes to reach an altitude of 10000 feet. All I wanted was, what they claim or promise, my 50 secs of free fall and 4-5 min of gliding. I Paid 225+95 (Video) for this and the whole experience was very short. I feel like cheated. When I further researched, got to know, people who are Groupon customers, they get a service like this (short height jump- short time duration). My 2 star is only for a short duration of the whole experience. The service was good, my instructor was good. No issues in that. Coming to photos and videos, they were not satisfactory. 5/10 on that.

    Beyond amazing place. I had such an great time. The instructors were very knowledgeable and funny…read more(even at 10am in the morning!) It was my first time sky diving and I felt SUPER SUPER safe with the instructors. Overall, awesome time and I can't wait to go back!!

    I enjoyed jumping and was planing on doing in regular bases i also bring many of my friends to jump…read moreuntil I find out this company had a crooked policy where they want to keep your deposit if for any reason the jump get cancel not matter if is not your fault after knowing that I probably never jump again becouse I only do bussiness with companies with integrity and keeping people's money for free it sounds very fishy to me i understand them to keep your deposit if you didn't show up but if they have to cancel becouse the weather or plane failure or the pilot didn't show up if they cancel for any reason except you didn't show up you should be entitle to your full refund i think this company will do more bussiness if they start offering refunds when they fail to supply you with their services it is not about the money is about the principle my family of 3 have reservations for 3 weeks on the row and evrry week got cancell and they refusecto give us our deposit back when we didnt do anything wrong we show up on time for the jump and it got cancell by them. But they refuse to hive me my depositback now im obligated to re schedule just for do not lose my money and to not give this vompany free money if they want my money they have to earned im sure the make killer money keeping people deposits probably make more money from deposits them from the actually jumps

    It breaks my heart seeing some of these unhappy reviews. I can't speak on their experiences but I…read morecan certainly speak on mine. Years ago, I came to this drop zone because not only was it closer than the other one I went to, but it was also a lot more professional and focused on the sport rather than the frat house culture you can find at other DZs. The folks at skydive Philly helped me learn a lot and aided in me getting my A license. I ended up having a baby and could no longer afford to jump and was also having personal issues that were hindering me from pursuing my passions (not because of my child ;) he's a blessing). I just came back to this DZ to show my son the planes and show him where I used to go for fun. Aaron (the guy who runs the business) was there and he remembered me after 6 years!! He was SO sweet to my son and me and it meant the world. He welcomed me back and gave me all the information and support I needed to get back into the sport if I desired. He was so encouraging and understanding. The staff here, even after all this time, remember their students and care for them. It made my day and I'm so sorry for anyone that can't see how great these people are. Please understand skydiving can be SUPER frustrating because it's all dependent on the weather and sometimes plans have to get canceled time and time again. Try not to get mad at the staff for having to cancel a jump.

    This is a try it once and never again type place…read more The flight time is literally just 1 minute. They also charge you an additional $20 to go a bit higher in the wind tunnel. Which seems like that should be included in the $99 charge. Want pictures? That will be another $4 for each. The place is also stating to look rundown - they don't seem to invest in maintenance or upkeep. Glad we went to try it, but won't go back.

    My friends took me to ifly today and it seriously was the best birthday gift ever! This place is so…read morefun! They have indoor sky diving down to a science! My friends purchased a group package online! It included 2 flys each and photos & videos. A couple of us added on the high fly! Totally worth it! These packages offer more for your money at a lower price point plus you get a front row seat to watching each person enjoy the experience! Once you are signed up everyone will fill out online forms and waivers prior to arrival! Each person is also sent a preflight video to watch to learn hand signals. This information is reviewed several times once onsite as well! There are a lot of health restriction's. A big one to note is that if you've ever dislocated your shoulder this is not for you! The first two times I fly my shoulder was fine but after the third time I could really feel the pressure! What to expect: Upon arrival we checked everything out! So many fun photo opportunities including angel wings and a step & repeat! We loved to taking photos there and the staff was so accommodating about leaving time before and after for photos! Everyone will need to get weighed in so be honest on your waiver! You are weighed individually but the weight is concealed for privacy! There are set weight limits so check to see if you are within the range. There are no exceptions! Once you get your wrist band you move on to get your fly suit and helmet. I used the helmet with the face covering and I highly recommend this option! This avoided the wind hitting me directly in the face and allowed me to focus on the experience mates of just the wind! There were about 10 of us in our class. Each person got to fly twice! We rooted and cheered for everyone as they went up and out of the tube! Watching people you care about experience this up close was really such a fun experience! Being together doing this crazy thing was so fun! Our instructor Sam was amazing! Honestly all of the employees were so kind and willing to do whatever they could to make this a memorable experience including flashing me a happy birthday message while I was in the tunnel flying! Sam made us all feel comfortable and she was so good at what she does! At the end of everyone's flights she did an amazing show of her skills in the tunnel! She's got some serious talent and she and the rest of the crew really love what they do! Their enthusiasm is contagious and really added so much value to the experience! My only constructive feedback is that it would have been cool to have a camera in the tunnel to capture the high fly. You really go off screen alone you start getting higher. It also would have been cool to have someone video from outside of the tunnel so bring friends to watch and record! One last suggestion...bring cash to tip your instructor! I was glad I had cash on me! You can not add this to your credit card payment and they do not have cash to break bills. I can not recommend this experience enough! This was something that all of us will remember for a very long time! Thank you iFly for making this birthday experience something so very unique and special!
