Working with Suffolk Skydive was a five-star experience. From the initial online application to the…read morefinal jump, they were extremely professional. Their website clearly outlines their fees, their guidelines, and their procedures. When I had questions about the weather and the video packages, they answered the phone and quickly responded to my questions and concerns. A few days prior to the experience, they emailed me with instructions, noting the need to watch the safety and procedures video. Once the day arrived for my skydive, I arrived and was quickly greeted by staff. The check in was quick and easy. I then met my expert skydiver, Matt Allen, who was absolutely amazing. He clearly explained the procedures and then harnessed me up for the ride of a lifetime. The staff informed us that there would be a slight delay because of cloud coverage that day. For the novice, this was a very comforting thing. I can not stress enough how fantastic Matt Allen was on this journey, from the pre-flight training to the actual freefall to the smooth landing. I also purchased the picture and video package to commemorate this occasion. My videographer, whose name was Mikel (at least, I think it was), did an outstanding job with the photography and videos. The pre-interview, the in-plane activities, the freefall, and the landing were all included in the package. I am so glad that I purchased these extras. Honestly, I was so in the moment with Matt and Mikel that I didn't remember some of the parts of the experience. The pictures and especially the videos helped jog my memory and will be a great source to help me relive this journey. Thanks again to all the staff at Suffolk Skydive.

This is a fun local race which celebrated its 6th year in 2022 run by local oceanfront faves The…read moreShack, Waterman's and Chix on the Beach. A few things make this race unique. First, you run on the actual beach between 7th street to about 30th and then run the final mile or so on the boardwalk back to 9th. Second, the race was kicked off with skydivers from Skydive Suffolk who dropped in in front of the start line and the national anthem was played for the final skydiver who had an American flag flying as he came in. Absolutely awesome. Third, they host several fun runs in the weeks leading up to the race and if you attend four of them (usually there are 5 or 6) you get a free gift. Usually a sweatshirt, blanket, nice cup or cooler or something. The free gift changes every year. You simply attend and check in every week so they can track your attendance. I'm always traveling around this time for my bday so I never get the gift but I love the motivational aspect of that. It's awesome. There is a post race party at The Shack with live music and, you guessed it, free crushes. You get a race packet and cute race medal for running and it's a smaller, local's race so it's fun to come to the beach, run, and then enjoy brunch or lunch somewhere on the water.

Just took my two non swimming 4 and 6 year olds and had an absolute blast! There are seven slides…read moretotal. Two slides require a swim test to use. One slide is in the kiddie pool. There is one nice wide family slide for everyone. There is one super steep one that my six year old braved successfully. The last two are like a twisty open one and then a twisty closed tube style. No life jackets are allowed on the slides but the lifeguards literally stand there and catch your kids and take them back to the side to get out and go again. I was there by myself outnumbered and nervous about my nonswimming kids and no life jackets but quickly relaxed and realized my kids were safe and having the time of their lives. The lifeguards were happy to pass my kids to me but also totally fine if I got out to go do the family slide with one of them if needed. That's always the tricky part of being outnumbered by kids - when the pack wants to split up and I can't be two places at once. Anyway the snack bar food was pretty terrible but pizza was alright. You can bring in a cooler though. Next time I'll pack a full picnic for everyone. They do a lot of adult swims so the lifeguards can rotate but that gives everyone a chance to grab a snack and potty and also gave us a nice window to exit. The pool temp was fantastic and the water was clean. It's a government facility so there's some stuff that could use an upgrade naturally but for $10 a person I was impressed!

Other than that small detail (I had to stop at a reenlistment picnic to ask someone for directions), it is a smash hit and we love it! I am only bummed we didn't know about it last summer! Admission is $6 for active duty, retirees, reservists, & eligible family members, $8 for guests (up to 2 guests per adult w/ ID), kids 3 and under are free. Season passes are based on the number of people in your family... 1= $60, 2= $110, 3= $135, 4= $170, 5= $200, 6= $225 Despite the website's direction that no outside food is allowed and you must purchase food from concessions, *EVERYONE* brings a cooler with lunch in it. So, pack away and save yourself a fortune in concession stand prices. This is a clean and well-maintained facility, for sure. They offer pavilion rental and swimming lessons, which is great! One thing you'll want to warn your kids about ahead of time is "adult swim time" which is a 15 minute break for the kids from the pool they allows the adults to enjoy the facilities (and helps prevent sun-poisoned, exhausted kids)... my kids were upset because adult swim happened 10 mins after we arrived. Oops! There is plenty of seating and it's not so crazy (or wasn't today) that there are long lines... if you get here in time to snag a table, you'll have shade under an umbrella, but annoyingly, people fill the tables with their stuff (even though they aren't sitting there) and you'll be left without shade unless you plan ahead. The snack bar is an array of popsicles, string cheese, burgers, and preservative-packed packaged food that will run you between $0.50 and $5.00 per item. Not terrible on price, really, but far from health-friendly. Better than nothing! For $6/$8 per person, it's a great time. Pack a lunch to save more money, bring as many friends as you can fit in your car. We will be back!

They have made improvements to some of the broken equipment but one of the main attractions (ninja course) is still down for what seems like forever.

I think this indoor trampoline park has been bought out a few times. We started going when it was…read moreDefy (neon green theme) and now it's Sky Zone (blue and orange theme). My SIL mentioned that Sky Zone is a bigger name and comes from out of state, but don't quote me quoting her lol. My kids love going here. They ask all the time to go. There are various sections like the foam pit, dodgeball-type area with ramps and basketball hoops and there is a main trampoline area in the middle. They let kids of all ages on from little tots all the way up to more mature folks, as in, adults. During our visit, something I had not seen at previous businesses is that they have organized games on the trampolines, which I thought was nice, but I feel like the little ones should have their own area because there were a few times that they came really close to getting trampled on. It was hard to watch. Things to note: - you must sign a waiver for your kids before jumping, the QR code can be found upon entry - they have memberships available - a one time jump pass was $22/child - you can bring your own jump socks, but they also have some for purchase - they also have drinks and snacks available in vending machines, but during out visit, it was over the holiday break and it was prime time, and the water machine was empty Be careful and enjoy! Never stop exploring!

Once back in the boat, we got to enjoy watching the other three groups of people have their turn.

The rougher the water, the more likely someone will get seasick while riding in the boat. The operators provide sick bags and have an awesome sense of humor! And a great playlist!

The staff and incredibly friendly and the flight instructors here are incredibly talented, skilled, and well trained. You can definitely tell they take safety seriously. The best part is, if you want to go again, they will absolutely let you! You can get more time and even high flights while in the tunnel! The sky is the limit if you want to have a good time! After my first flight, I knew this is something I would want to do again, so I signed up for the L1FT program! It's a much cheaper option that will get you 1 on 1 time with a coach to get you proficient at belly and maybe even back flying! You can also buy return packages if you don't think you want to be a member, but want discounted rates for you, your friends, or your family. I absolutely recommend this option if there isn't an iFly near you. If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop by and check it out! Leave mundane at the door, and walk into a world of excitement!
