iFly is a great activity for the family. Our kids really enjoyed it. The instructors focus on safety, which is the right topic of emphasis. It doesn't take a lot of skill to pick up the basics of flying in the wind tunnel. They do make a hard push to get you to subscribe to more lessons and additional experiences. It is after all a business. If you're comfortable declining the overtures, then you will enjoy it. read more

Feeling scammed: The experience itself is cool. We've gone 3 times. At the end of your flight you are offered a special deal to buy more flights, which we did. I called today to make an appointment for my sons birthday 2 weeks out. They have appointment times all day long available but as soon as they found out that I was using a prepaid voucher they said they didn't have availability. You are not told when you purchase those vouchers that you can only use them certain off times that aren't very convenient. I feel scammed . Basically being punished for being a return customer. Do not purchase the return vouchers. I refuse to pay another couple hundred for my sons birthday when I have already paid. read more

We celebrated my Glam daughter 6th birthday! We had so much fun. We had 11 people flying and I feel the time should of been more for all the money we spent and more private too! read more

Was very satisfied! Flight instructor James Finch-Bridge was great for all in class but especially so with me and my leg mobility issues taking time, care and making landing modifications so I could fully enjoy! Most normal physically I have felt since my leg stuff started. He was also great with a scared young boy in our group explaining what to do and promising to hold him the entire time and afterwards that little boy was ecstatic! Just wish pricing less so could do more often. read more

Our session didn't go as planned because our kid was nervous and anxiety got the best of her 1/2 way through her flight. The staff handled the situation like a pro and spent time talking and encouraging her during such a high energy and time challenged experience. I commend her flight instructor and know this turned to a great life learning moment on challenging yourself because of him. read more

People who answered the phone just sounded bored out of their minds and like if they're the only game in town, which of course they are for indoor skydiving. If you're willing to put up with DMV-like service, this place will do. As for indoor skydiving, I've been to a team event and it's worth experiencing but not really worth your own money. Around 2 minutes total of floating and spinning and lots of waiting in a noisy environment (the wind is string enough to lift 2 people, after all). read more

We went on aug 28th for our sons 20th birthday. Our daughter and her husband flew up from Az to go with. James was our flight instructor. He was great! I do believe that for the price, we should have flown longer that 2 minutes total! Crazy prices read more

I have taken my son (he is 5) here twice now. He absolutely loves it. All of the coaches are super friendly. Not only is it fun to do your own flights, but you get to watch the coaches do stunts in-between groups. Very entertaining even if you are just an observer. An even cooler thing I noticed last time was that they now have VR headsets that you can use during your flight. Awesome! The only thing I would warn people about is that when you are booking your flight. The time you book is actually your check-in time. You won't be called up for your instruction and gear up until 30 minutes after that. The instruction and gear up takes another 30 minutes, so you don't go into the wind tunnel until about an hour after whatever time you schedule your session. If you get there early, no worries, you get to sit in the viewing area and watch other people in the wind tunnel. It is fun to watch. read more

I visited iFly a week after my last relationship ended and naturally like your average woman after a breakup, I had a compulsive urge to do something KrAYzEE. iFly is an appropriate celebratory activity post-breakup because if you decide that you enjoyed it enough to begin recreationally skydive and risk the possibility of splitting your skull in half, you don't have to get into that whole argument with your partner like LET ME MAKE MY OWN UNWISE DECISIONS, YOU SWEET, CARING SHITHEAD! After filling out the necessary paperwork on the 100 computer screens they have attached to the walls, you get weighed and then led upstairs to watch training videos and don wildly unattractive colorblocked fly gear. And seriously, what's with the mega hot male instructors here? I saw two, one of whom was mine, and they both looked like they just walked out of a Men's Fitness magazine and here we all are dressed like we're about to be extras for Lady Gaga's clown porno. And the humiliation doesn't end there. Nope. I think I found my body caressing the netting almost the entire time because I'm retarded. My brain malfunctioned and lacked the ability to coordinate my limbs to go where they needed to in order to float. I blame how good-looking my instructor was. Stupid hot instructor. We paid an extra $10.00 to do the hyperspeed spin to the roof. It's when they throw your body around in circles until you reach the top at some supersonic speed, much too aggressive for me to be thinking anything except for how my body was at the level of his crotch. My worst fear, the cherry on top of being dressed up as a clown pornstar and wearing protective, drool-smeared goggles that don't protect for SHIT, was face-planting his dick. He flew me up three times and each time it was DEAR GOD DON'T LET ME FLY MY FACE INTO HIS BALLS. Unless you're a high roller, this place is only worth doing once. read more

Oh my goodness was this expensive. The initial package is just the basic flight for a minute, but they keep trying to get you to add on experiences that should come standard. Want to go up to a decent height? An extra $10. Want more than 2 trips? An extra $20. Want to wear a nicer helmet in the wind tunnel? $10 more dollars! Then there are the photos and videos you'll want to purchase. Don't get me wrong, the experience was fun, but do it once and try not to think about how much money you're paying. Oh and make sure your hair is tied back, because mine got terribly knotted by the wind. read more

The previous reviews states that this is only worth doing once and I completely agree. I found a great deal at Costco so I of course had to capitalized on that. Our deal came with two one minute flights, a certificate, and one video to redeem after your flights. For first time flyer, they tell you to arrive an hour early. The first half hour you are there solely to watch the class ahead of you fly. The second half is to watch a video, go over hand signals, and put on your ridiculous uniform , goggles, helmets, and ear plugs . Each "cohort" waits in the same tunnel to fly. The first flight is a tester flight where the instructor corrects your form. Then you get back in line and wait for the rest of your cohort to finish their first flight. During the second round, you have an option of going higher. I chose this option and found that the my instructor was very conservative with heights as he did not take me very high. I flew about ten - fifteen feet off ground. Once everybody finishes their second flight, then you are able to leave the tunnel. Overall, our two one minute flight took an hour and a half. As previously stated, cool to do once and try it out, but I wouldn't make it a habit to come here . read more

This place was absolutely awesome. We purchased a family package. We had a 3 year old, 12, 13,15, and 2 43 year olds. Everyone had a blast besides the 3 year old who had fun for about 5 seconds. A little too much wind in her face.More on that to follow. From the time we walked in until we walked out the doors I felt this was a top notch place. It was very streamlined and organized. The employees were all helpful, pleasant, and friendly. Often at adventure attractions like this (and our family had done many - we believe in memories for presents vs clutter) you get people who are tired of their job and take it out of on customers. NOT THIS PLACE. Everyone was nice and seemed to be happy to be helping. the equipment was clean and well taken care of. The entire business was clean and new looking. Casey deserves a special shout out. This guy is TOP NOTCH. He is an asset to Ifly. I mean exactly the kind of guy you want working for you. He was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, without being corny or arrogant. He was good with everyone in the group with us and there was a mix of demographics. What impressed me the most was how in tune he was with my 3 year old who changed her mind at least 10 times about wanting to go. She decided she wanted to go and when it was her turn she went out enthusiastically but after about 5 seconds her facial expression changed. As a mom on the other side of the glass I got worried as I knew her face was a prelude to being scared out of her mind but Casey was so in tune with her and was paying such close attention he immediately recognized the change in her demeanor and facial expression and hugged her to him comforting her and brought her right out the wind tunnel without question. My daughter even gave him an unprompted hug before we left. Which says a lot to me. He was just great with everyone. His "show" he did after we wall went where he flew up and down, bounced off walls, and did a ton of spiderman moves was amazing! I like that they weren't too pushy trying to upsell - they just offered you what they had and that was it. The experience itself was very fun. The ride to the top was the very best part. I really strongly believe that this should be included in the package. Having to pay 10 extra on top of an already expensive experience was kind of a buzz kill. Not to mention you may be with an instructor who isnt trained to do that and that is definitely the funnest part of the "ride". Only negative thing - you have to check in an hour before you get to take a turn. 30-35 minutes of that was spent siting and watching other participants in the tunnel. That was fun for about 10 minutes and then we were ready to go. It seems they could cut your check in time by about 20-30 minutes really. I don't have any other complaints. This is a well oiled machine and we had a lot of fun. It won't be something our family will be able to do again unless it is a special occasion as it is pretty spendy but it was a fun day and I highly recommend it for all ages! read more

Megawind blasts that tickles the chins and flows through your blasthole. Skydiving, turbine-mode is the injection to addiction that will ultimately lead to your falling from the sky and taste cloud nine. This iteration accurately simulates twelve thousand feet drop at over a hundred miles per hour air speeds (not quite terminal velocity, but a first timer wont notice). Don't be fooled by the one minute interval clock as a quick research will lead you to conclude equal drop during the HALO jump. Not recommended for those with previous back injuries or shoulder dislocation. As example, I was instructed to spread my legs apart wide during mid-flight, to which I failed. The following morning, I woke up sore down to my assets. read more

I wanted to take my husband out for a special pre-VDay adventure and knew that he had wanted to try indoor skydiving - so lo and behold I booked us for a flight! I booked the Flight for Two thinking for some reason that we'd get to do a tandem flight, but alas, you don't! The Flight for Two is actually more expensive than getting 2 separate flights because you get a DVD, which is cool ~ but I don't know if it's worth the extra $10. They ask you to show up 1hr prior to flight time, but it doesn't take too long to check in AND they were running late, so we ended up sitting around for 45 minutes! They definitely don't need people to come that early - the front desk just sends you upstairs after check-in with no real instructions. I kept having to ask people if I was in the right place because they did not make it aware to everyone that they were running behind schedule. The experience itself is a quick 2 minutes - super short for $60/person, but it was really fun! I just wished we could do a little more as first time fliers and for longer stints in the wind tunnel (or just make it cheaper). The instructors were all very nice and helpful and the stunts that they do are pretty impressive! read more

I decided to do something a bit out of my usual for my birthday, so I decided to try iFly. My parents came out to visit for my birthday weekend, and were brave enough to do this with me. Everyone we interacted with was super nice and answered all of our questions. From start to finish we had an awesome time! We got there a little bit early so we were able to see the group in front of us finish up their "jumps". We were all a bit nervous, but our instructor Chris was very reassuring. As someone who generally likes to keep their feet on the ground (LOL) I don't know that I need to do this again, but I will certainly be recommending it to all my friends. Thanks to everyone at the iFly team for making this birthday an unforgettable one. read more

iFLY - Skydiving Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

This place is Epic!!! My husband surprised me with a trip here. We were both First Time Flyers! I was excited and a bit nervous although I've been wanting to come here since they opened!! I've heard about the ones back home in SF, so when they had this opened I was just waiting for a good time for us to make it. Check-In was super easy. The lobby has touchscreen monitors where you fill everything out prior to getting the counter/register. At the counter, they confirm your reservation, take your weight (this is to, of course, figure out the best windspeed for your flight), you make your payment, and then they send you on your way to the waiting area! The waiting area allows you to watch flights prior to yours, which I think is a good thing because it definitely calmed my nerves the more I watched. During call time you are taken to the Flight Training room where you are introduced to your flight instructor, watch a video, learn hand signals, and eventually get suited up!! The whole experience was unforgettable and I'm so glad my husband and I decided to go and pay extra to fly to the "top". I loved it!! I would definitely come back:) This place is perfect for groups, birthdays (they have event rooms), and just about anyone wanting a taste of flying! The staff was so friendly and the flight instructors were the bomb!! Yes, THE BOMB!!! read more

SCAM TOOK MY MONEY AND CANCELED MY TRIP I booked 8 sessions of ifly for boys birthday this last Saturday. Tues I called to see if they were open because of the government shutdown and they said yes.  Thursday I got a call from there and they said it was considered a gym so they shut it down. I emailed Saturday and asked them to let me know when they would be open. They responded today that they are open. read more

Bought 2 flights for my 16-year old grandson. He enjoyed it. However, I was disappointed that he only got two one minute flights, which was very short, especially since the experience cost almost $100 plus an additional $22 for the instructor to take him 15 feet higher on one of the flights. I personally do not feel that it was good value for the money. read more

Awesome experience! Loved it... My room mates parents got us two flights for christmas two years ago. We decided this weekend we would get the nerve to do it. I wish we wouldn't have waited so long! Our instructor was very helpful and kept up a good energy and made sure we had fun. Which is a major part since i was TERRIFIED to do this. Sweaty palms and shaking slightly i am a wimp. But the instructor (vance i would definitely suggest requesting him) had a great attitude and, like i said before, made sure it was fun. When we tried to redeem our media vouchers we had some trouble and they wouldn't work so i called and the customer service rep. (Joe) was very helpful and walked us threw how to redeem them, then when it didn't work (again), he gave us new vouchers for the videos! I will be back and even possibly do the education coarse! It was awesome! Thanks vance jo and i fly you guys made it delightful ! read more

This was such a great time. All of the instructors were so good with everyone especially the little kids.

He remembered names, made corrections encouragingly, and always had a smile. Flawless visit :) read more

We had a birthday event, our teens complained too short. We received vouchers to download photos and videos but we can not find any for our flight date. We submitted a request but only received try again or run around responses. The photos finally showed up with no explanation, but not able to redeem any. This was a gimmick, false advertisement. Be ware. read more

Good people, but the only thing I learned was that the risk averse pay much more over time. Dafuq are their margins? It was enormously expensive. $180 for 5 minutes of flytime. Not worth it by any stretch of the imagination. You will not learn a thing in the amount of time you have. And if you aren't intent on making this a way of like you may as well go to an amusement park for far cheaper. You're meant to buy into a 50% discount the moment you finish so you can get addicted to "progress". I got to watch some progress. Weak sauce. Seems like some Las Vegas bullschmidt. May as well actually jump out of a plane for the extra $, BACKFLIPS are free. Risk included, at least they can't limit your expression. read more

iFLY - Skydiving Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Very fun. There is a lot of waiting, training, and then two 1 minute sessions that are very fun. It's challenging to balance yourself, the wind is intense, but what surprised me was the pressure, when you first go in your ears pop. Then the instructor helps you balance , if you do well they will be hands off. If you're still learning they will keep you under control. For a little extra, they will do a tandem flight with you way up high, which I thought was the best part, although some of my party didn't like it as much. A bit expensive, a lot of waiting but we all enjoyed ourselves. Maybe we'll even come back and see if we can do more advanced flying. read more

I am really disappointed with my experience at iFly. I chose to do this with 2 of my friends that were visiting from out of state for my birthday celebration. We checked in 60 minutes prior, like you are suppose to, got weighed and given our wristbands. After the waiting we finally watched the short video and then time to get into our suits. We were aware of the weight limit and my friend was under it and they didn't say anything about it when we checked in. However, when we got to putting on suits there were none that worked for her. She is a pear shape with a larger booty and the biggest suit was unable to zip up over her waist. She, understandably, felt incredibly embarrassed and instead of giving her a full refund, they could only offer to give her money back with "store credit"-- either try using it at their closest iFLY (4 hours from their house) or split it between the rest of our group. We obviously had to choose splitting it since there was no way all of us could get our money back and choose not to fly. That is what I would have done since I had planned this specifically to do with them. My friend tried to be good humored about the situation, but it really disappointed me that she 1) couldn't participate 2) that this company is unable to accommodate various body types. There is nothing on their site that says anything about the suit sizes. It definitely made the whole experience less enjoyable for the group as my friend just had to sit on the sidelines and watch us have this new experience. read more

The flight itself was fun, but there was a lot of waiting around. We arrived for our flight 15 minutes early and had signed waivers online ahead of time as requested by the website. We then had to wait an additional 45 minutes before we were even called to get our helmets and flight clothes. After that there was time to change and watch an instructional video. Flights are one person at a time in a cylinder. There is an extra charge of $20 to fly up high. All in all , it was a fun experience. The cylinder was smaller than we expected. If you are considering doing this, I recommend you go to the venue and observe before you buy so you know what you are getting. read more

So much to say and so little time. The experience is not private, anyone sitting around the tube can see you and take pics and videos if you go post on social media especially if accidents or funny things happen. They should have groups separate w a waiting area for groups. It's basically a room w a tube in the middle, lockers and suits to the right and sitting to the left. The price is not worth it. You literally float around for minutes. And if you are a group of two or 3 ppl, they mix you w a bunch of other ppl so each gets like 5-10 mins each and you just sit around and wait for the others to fly around. This wastes a lot of time. They should specifically say the experience is NOT private. You pay extra for video clip and photos and other add-ons but the instructor is in ALL your photos :/ The waiver, thank goodness they have that because just witnessed a kid almost smashed his face against the glass. The instructor grabbed him just in time but the kid went straight for the door after that. Even though both his feet landed on the carpeted area the instructor pulled him back into the tube grabbing his suit and the kid almost lost his balance and seemed very upset. The instructor couldn't pull the kid back in to finish so the kid just went it sat down shaking his head the entire time. This really annoyed me because, you don't handle a situation like that at all! The set up is just not what you think nor worth what you pay for. There is a lot of waiting around. No refunds. Call before you book to ask details. Voucher ticket if cancelled. Pros Sitting area is comfy Have rooms for two bday parties (but so not even that is private, charged additional) Check in screen up front They tell you your weight if you ask :) People are nice. read more

Staff is AWESOME. Had both Alex and Spencer as instructors (two flights). Both were super-helpful and friendly. Both spent time in-between jump segments watching video and talking thru what I'd done. This was a better experience than I'd even hoped for, and it was totally the people that made it rock. I'd encourage ANYONE to try this place. read more

My son been here twice, first time with a friend when we purchased a special promotion thru Costco. The second time was for a party. He loves it both time and has been wanting to go back again. On our second visit, I think me son had Eric as his instructor. He's very energetic and fun with our group of kids (age ranges from 6-9). I highly recommend him if you are thinking booking your next event at IFLY. Other the short flying time, this place is awesome to have some good times! read more

Always wanted to try this. My wife, daughter and I got tics for five 2 min flights. Our time was 8:30pm but by time we got in the tunnel it was almost 9:45pm. It was ok but not great. The instructions on how to fly were ok but while in the wind tunnel he was showing other hand signals he had not told us about. Overall we enjoyed it but will probably not do it again. read more

Wow I had a very good time flying indoors without the worry of falling down and dying :S. I suppose that you can dive down pretty fast here also but someone would be by your side all the time. So nothing to worry. If you are afraid of hights, you can start here and gradually increase the night ;) it's pretty fun really! The only thing that my tummy didn't like was when they pull you down for several times hahahaha It felt weird but in a good way. It's fun!!! And they will always ask if you are OK with it. That's why I thought in trying it :) The whole family went here and we all felt different. I guess you will have to experience haha The only problem that I found is that it is pricey for the 4 minutes (tops) each if us were in. And if you wanted 2 more mins they would give you a discount. The whole thing lasted about 20 mins because you will wait for the others and watch the repetitions on TV. Bit in the other side, you can get bored because you are just floating and don't know how to do more tricks. So it's kind like a teaser to continue your career here. Everyone had a great vibe and were worried in safety. They lend is a special suit, tennis, googles, and hair bands (we needed them ;)). They take plenty of pictures. You can send them to your email from a both downstairs before you go. Pay attention to the class that is given before you get in the tube. You will need all those signs to communicate. Another tip: don't open your mouth, scream or yell. Fluids might come out...disgusting There's also a store where you can buy hoodies and tshirts. We took a look to a competition that was right after our flight. They are pretty good. read more

Signed up for a package on line. THe website says you can easily add more flyers once you arrive. We weren't sure how many people would show for the birthday, so the package was just for those that confirmed. When we got there, we needed to add two flights. They told me it wasn't possible because they were booked up. Wow. Sure wish the website had let me know that could happen. A two hour round trip drive for nothing generally pisses off your friends. They were not at all accommodating. They get two stars because the kids had a great time. Beware the constant upsell. If you want to go more than five feet off the net, you pay. About 400.00 for five kids, two minutes each. Wouldn't call it a good value. read more

iFly Seattle was an awesome experience!!! Simple class then into the tube. Out instructor Cat Adams was cool... Love her accent. She handled all the participants well. We had 2 kids in our group... 1 Autistic and she helped them over their fear and have some actual flight time without her holding them. The ride to the top was an exhilarating experience. Cat even taught me how to turn right and left my first flight!!! The Ladies at the front desk were very helpful and friendly when we arrived and also helpful with pictures and information when we were leaving. read more

Came here for the Homeschool Day. Kids were very excited about this opportunity. We were supposed to have a class and then a flight. We arrived half an hour early and they did open up the doors to get people checking in, but even being early we ended up in a latter group for the class and flying. So we are all sent upstairs to sit and watch the staff demo. This is great for about 15 min. But over an hour wait and they come say we will be going into the class soon. UGH. The first group had class almost an hour. So you kinda think you will get similar right? Wrong. We crammed in and the teacher was EXCELLENT. Absolutely amazing. However, there were several kids asking really off the wall questions and he was trying to be nice and not shut them down and parents were encouraging questions about rockets and aliens. OMG. Seriously? We saw the basic video, he started to talk about terminal velocity(this is the educational part) and the gal comes to say it's time to go suit up. what? I was not happy at this point. Kids did their flight. It's only 1 min in this large group thing. I thought it was supposed to be 2? I had the notes from the phone call setting this us as such. So my thoughts: Group event like Homeschool Day was not well done. In fact the group after us had a shorter class than we did since they were up there and ready to fly before our group did fly. The person moving this along should have cut the first class shorter. If I were to pay for this again I would do it as a family, not another group day. Heck, I would even ask to pay for the teacher guy as a private lesson. He was truly knowledgeable. My kids had fun. They wanted a longer flight. I watched over an hour of staff demo flying. Very cool place. Just don't come on a group event day. read more

My son and I have nothing but great things to say about our experience at iFLY today. we came in as excited first time flyers who had done very little research as to what to expect.... from the first step in the door we were greeted with kindness and enthusiasm.
