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.

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

This skydiving experience was organized by my husband as a birthday activity for my 47th. I had the…read moreutter privilege of jumping with none other than the legendary "Pancake", who very nonchalantly told me that he has made more than 20,000 such iconic falls! This was my first attempt and I think it was good for a height-phobic person like me to not have the option of standing on a separate ledge and deliberately jump. In the plane here, you kind of just tip over the edge, and that has to be initiated (thankfully) by your tandem instructor. Those 60 seconds of free falling were the longest of my life, I couldn't wait for the parachute to open. My heart was in my throat, I was wriggling like a cockroach, and I couldn't breathe because of the air pressure assaulting my face. CAUTION TO THOSE WITH PELVIC PAIN: as soon as the parachute opens, the pelvic harness tightens up considerably as you're basically vertical, being completely supported by the harness. You're "hanging by a thread (aka harness)". Think about how that would affect you during and after the activity, since I was in pain hanging vertically in the air. It made it tough to enjoy the slow gliding in such a beautiful weather. Pancake advised that I try and reposition myself so as to almost sit within the harness but I couldn't manage that. The staff is nothing but incredible, they ensure as much safety as possible, and the environment is so Hollywood-y with these sporty gals and guys preparing to jump one after the other from the plane. You can't help but feel the thrill of being surrounded by adventurers. I would like the option of a face shield and/or helmet for tandem jumpers like us so we can enjoy that free fall sensation without struggling to breathe. Also the videography package is worth it!

I am really upset about this company. Well the skydiving experience was fantastic itself that's why…read morei gave one star. It was as fun/nervous as expected but what I'm gonna tell you here was the video taping service that I bought. Worst $100+ ever spent and I think I'm gonna dispute it. I don't wanna start with how unprofessional the guy who took my video was - especially comparing to the one who took for my friend. Well I'm assuming you are supposed to catch as much valuable moment as possible since it's the first ever skydiving experience for most of the people who order the video taping. The guy named Kramer didn't pay much attention to me he held the camera in his hand without turning it on most of the time! The most upsetting part wasn't even that. One month after the jump, FOUR calls asking for the tape, I still haven't received ANYTHING. I called and called and called everytime they say they are sending it to me but never received. Oh and I forgot to mention after the jump the guy ( in my case Kramer) should ask me to put my address on the envelope for him to send it. HE FORGOT. Seeing my friend being asked to sign did I know that I was supposed to put mine too....maybe that also led to the missing of my tape. Or he never taped. Overall very upset experience. This is not something you do every weekend. Most of the people only do it once in a lifetime. Avoid this place. Go somewhere else.

You jump from 14k feet, and the jump goes by really quickly. I had a lot of fun. The waiver they make you sign before you go is pretty unsettling. Still, I had a lot of fun and everything went smoothly at this operation.

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.
