BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!! I decided to do something out of the…read moreordinary for my 20th birthday and I'm so glad I did! I had a wonderful time! Everything went well from the moment I called to schedule my jump to the landing. The staff is very professional, friendly, and well experienced. I was blessed with Noah as my instructor and he definitely made the experience more fun than. He was very calm and that helped out a lot with my nerves. He was also very understanding about first time jumpers being nervous, so he constantly checked to make sure I was okay throughout my visit. If you're seeing this and you're wondering if you should do it, the answer is YES! Be prepared to hear the staff cracking jokes haha they were so much fun. Breakdown 10-15 minute ride to the top (10,000 feet) 10-15 seconds on free fall (120 mph) 5-7 minutes to enjoy the beautiful view and get back to the ground

Did my first fall out of an airplane with Skydive STL last week…read more On arrival we signed a zillion waivers on an iPad. That part was significantly better than having to sign on paper so bonus points there. But the facility's AC was broken and it was close to 100 outside with a wasp flying around the room. Everyone was nice enough though. The plane was a 1960's? Maybe 70's Cessna C182. Once in the plane I faced forward where a co-pilot Seat would have been. Things were zip tied together and one over head line had been repaired with rubber tubing and a couple 70 cent hose clamps. I'm not one to worry too much about this kind of stuff but I would have been nice to have a grab bar to hold onto instead of the underside of a half broken glove box. At 5k feet one of the guys called out half way there! At around 7k feet up the instructor started buckling us together given that our climb rate was slowly slowing (I was facing the gauges and have some knowledge of how to fly a plane.) I knew it would be a long while before we hit the advertised 10k. But right at 9k the pilot leveled off and the instructor finished his final checks on our harness. Just a few moments later at 9100 feet we went out the door. The experience of falling was pretty great. The ride down was fun and I would recommend everyone with a pulse give it a whirl. They didn't press too hard for me to purchase the video I declined initially but they still recorded. So bonus points there also. But taking a video when I didn't want one was weird. I guess it's better to have it than to not and wish you had one. The 3 star review is really for shorting us 10% of the ride. They charge extra for being over 200lbs but don't discount for shorting us the last thousand feet of the ride.

This place is AWESOME! I took my whole family, including my eighty five year old Dad. The whole…read morestaff was very friendly and accommodating. If you have not sky dived this is the place to do it. They made the whole process enjoyable. We will be back again. Dr. Scott Falls
