    The front desk person Joe is very kind and helpful. I can tell he is enthusiastic about his job. He helped us with a schedule problem, and he kept apologizing to us even though it was not his fault at all. The coach Tommy is very nice. It was a very good flying experience. It's definitely worth trying!

    Early birthday celebration at iFly LP!

    Ifly Indoor Skydiving helped me realize my dream of flying! The team here is amazing. They are engaged and very pleasant to work with. Our instructor John was superb! He was really great with both adults and children. He was very easy going and made our experience really fun. His feedback were also appreciated. I cannot wait to come back. In terms of COVID-19 precaution, the team was really good about cleaning and making sure everyone was safe and healthy. Looking forward to coming back soon!

    Great for workplace team bonding!

    This review would've been five stars if it began on time. Our experience was to begin at 5:30, we didn't even begin the process of getting suited up until after 6pm. With that said, this was a very exhilarating and unique experience for my company's team building event. One of the main things they stressed in the pre-flight training session was to cheer on your fellow flyers and have a good time. Our instructor Miguel was very funny, extremely talented in his solo flight, and did a wonderful job of keeping all of us (especially myself) from flailing all around in the tunnel. I will say that this is much harder than it looks. When you're in the tunnel it was hard to breathe, very loud, and I couldn't control my body like practically at all. As such, I truly commend seasoned flyers who got accustomed to how it felt to fly their first couple times and stuck with it via future visits to sharpen their skills. I wouldn't run back to do this again, but that's just me. One of my coworkers enjoyed it so much she purchased a package to return for her and her boyfriend! Thank you, iFLY!

    iLove iFly! Definitely a fun and awesome experience! Full disclosure, I'm terrified of heights. 10-feet off the ground and it might as well be 100-feet for me. I realized as I get older, my fear of heights get worse. In my 20s, I was all about trying real skydiving.... then I got old. And never did it. With iFly indoor skydiving, they mention it is simulating the free-fall experience of the actual skydiving. Clearly it doesn't mimic the plane ride, or jumping out of a plane, but nonetheless, the free-fall part is pretty cool! When entering in, you are directed to a bank of computers, where you sign a waiver. After that, they weigh you to make sure you don't exceed the 250lb limit. Then they send you to a conference room for briefing. To get to the conference room, you walk through the area of the wind tunnel (there's only one wind tunnel) and you can see people already trying this out. Overall, the wind tunnel is in the middle of everything, and is transparent, so everybody and everything can watch (and laugh) at you as you frantically figure out how to indoor skydive. Our instructor Luke was hilarious. No..... he was awesome! Funny, informative, and just plain ol' fun, you can tell that he genuinely loves what he does. Luke explained to us all the hand signals, because its necessary as inside the wind tunnel, it is super loud. The main signals was "relax", "bend your legs", "straighten your legs", and "chin up". An instructor is always in the wind tunnel, so you're never alone. Most importantly, he mentions, he wants you to have fun, and fly on your own. After the brief tutorial, suit up, grab a helmet, and ear plugs, and get ready to fly and have fun! Overall, I had an absolute blast. As a person who is terrified of heights, this was a piece of cake. In no way or time did I feel like I was in danger, and I felt I was in good hands. You get two fly experiences -- each lasting around 60-secs, with a blinky LED/siren to warn you that you are on your last 10-secs. The time goes by fast, but it was so fun! You're pretty much hovering over a giant fan at the bottom, with a mesh netting. You don't go higher than 10-feet or so, but on the second flight, you get a choice of going al the way to the top, which I estimate to be around 40 or 50 feet. Hellz yeah, I wanted to do it! BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the conference rooms, the bathrooms were spacious and clean. The men's consists of a few urinals and stalls, and everything was in working order. Sit or squat? Sit!

    Suited and ready to fly

    I got tickets to iFly for Christmas and was soooo excited!! I've wanted to go indoor sky-diving for the longest and iFly did not disappoint. There was a pretty long wait (even though we had reservations) mostly because of the birthday part ahead of us. We arrived, got checked in (just a heads up they actually make you step on a scale and weigh), got suited up and ready to fly! They provide you with a brief tutorial (video and in person demonstration) then call you once it's your turn to fly. It's super fun but a little nerve wrecking. Definitely give it a go if you get the chance!

    So much fun and highly recommend! I suggest doing the high flight if you have never gone before and at least two flights. It's harder than you think but a blast. I probably would not go a second time but I can see how someone can get addicted. The staff was awesome at the Lincoln park location. The only reason for 4 stars is the process for getting your photos and videos afterwards is horrendous and one of my codes wouldn't even work :(

    Great place to visit by yourself or with family. Everyone was very helpful and informative!

    Miguel was a great instructor!!

    Very excited that an iFLY opened up right in our neighborhood! My fiancee and I came in to experience some indoor skydiving, as she's afraid of heights and is more hesitant to jump out of a plane. I've gone skydiving before and wanted to see how the indoor experience compared and it was pretty awesome! We ordered a few minutes each of the iFLY experience, as well as the High flight package, where the instructor flies you all around the the tube. After getting our package finalized, we were brought into a room where our instructor, Miguel, gave us an overview of what we would be experiencing, hand motions to communicate while inside (you can't hear a thing when the fan is running), and how to properly position your body so you don't go spinning out all over the place. He was extremely friendly and made us feel very comfortable going into our session. There are free lockers to stow your belongings; after putting those away they will get you suited up with a full body suit, helmet, goggles, and ear plugs (optional but recommended). You then step into the wind tunnel with the instructor and start going at it! They will ensure you do not spiral out of control and start banging into the glass, because if you start to panic or flail your limbs, that's exactly what will happen. If you stay relaxed and keep your hips out, core tight, you'll have no problem. We picked up the movements pretty quickly, which made the experience a whole lot of fun! The high flight occurs at the end of the session, where Miguel grabbed one of our arms and legs and starting going up and down, all around the wind tunnel very quickly which was a blast. Miguel was awesome and hoping to return again with a much larger coporate group party. At the end of our session, we had videos that came with our package and Miguel walked us through some additional purchase options for cheaper flights next time. We will certainly be back to round two in the future, thank you so much for the awesome experience! Best, Charlie

    I had an AWESOMEEEE time. My friend took me here for a belated birthday activity so I'm not too sure about the prices. You register for a time slot before hand so when you walk in you register and get started. The waiting area is right by where you'll be "flying" so you get to see earlier people fly and get a feel for what you'll be doing. They give you your gear and you watch a tutorial/safety video then it's time to have fun! Depending on your level you'll be flying with an employee. Our guide was Adam and he was soooo great! He answered all of our question (me and my friend were nervous af) but he showed us a great time! We even got to do the high dive! When you think of just getting 2 60sec flies it sounds so short but is totally worth it! You feel like your in there for a while. HIGHLY recommend having the experience. I will Be back soon so I can go to the higher levels.

    I Believed I Could Fly. LOL Top Flight Experience. Wow is the word I would use to describe this amazing unique experience. I have been wanting to do indoor skydiving since last year. I made it appoint to add it again on My Adventure List of things to do. I saw this deal on Groupon ands went for it. I'm so Glad that I purchase this deal. It was such an exhilarating experience for me. The weather was nice out and I figure that a lot of folks would be out enjoy this nice Chi Town Weather. When I arrived I greeted by a nice customer service rep by the name of Joe. He was friendly and has such a great personality. He made sure to go over every detail with me and he even convince me to upgrade my flight. It was only a $10.00 up charge to add to the flight to go up a little higher. So, glad that I did choose to upgrade my flight. Since there was no one there except me I was up and ready to soar high. I walked on the other side to meet my instructor for rules and regulations LOL. I was introduce to Nell who would be my flying instructor. Nell was Superb..... I watched a 3 minute video on the flying instructions and I was even able to do a little demonstration in the class before heading out into the world of flying. Once that the class was over I headed out to get geared up for my flight. The rest is history for me. This experience allowed me to conquer my fears of heights. It was a pure of joy and lots of fun. I was laughing and smiling the whole time. My flight experience at IFly was a Blast. I can't wait to come back and fly with such a great staff. Very professional and full of fun. I truly recommend this place. Yes, it's a bit pricey I won't lie about that but be sure to watch out for deals on Groupon. Since I booked a flight I was able to get a better deal to come back and bring someone. See you soon Thumbs Up To The team at iFLY Lincoln Park

    Go!!!!!! Go with friends! Enjoy physics at its best!!!! Go! We went for my Birthday. Staff was amazing, and the experience was exactly what i wanted. There were kids and adults flying one at a time with a professional. Bring a friend to take pictures and ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!

    What a fun time! Purchased a 5 person fly for the family this Xmas. My 4 kids and wife participated and I was the camera guy. Overall, everyone had a blast. Only downside, which was minimal, was that they weren't very timely on the appointment we set. We were scheduled for 5:30 and they didn't get to us till 6:15 or so. The instructor was awesome. The first time cost is somewhat expensive but you're offered a deal on the next time which we bought. Our 6 year boys loved it and we're thinking Birthday party here soon. Check it out. PS: pay the extra $10 so the instructor takes you for a ride.

    See all

    Can my wife and I go at the same time?

    You cannot go up in the wind tunnel together if you are beginners. You can go into the waiting area together. If you have experience in the wind tunnel, there may be a way to go in together.

    Can you a GoPro? Either on a helmet or chest mounted...

    Hi Bryan! Short answer: Unfortunately not. You are more than welcome to mount a GoPro or any camera on a tripod outside of the tunnel. It is only special circumstances that… Read more
