There are some 5-star reviews here, which honestly isn't surprising as skydiving itself is…read morethrilling. But after having experiences with 2 other skydiving companies, I can only give this one 2 stars. The reason it's not one star is because the instructor himself did a great job, and of course my son loved the jump. The issue is entirely with how badly this company overbooks. Our son's booked time was 3:00 PM (he did arrive by 3:03pm due to traffic), and he didn't even leave on the van to jump until after 6:00 PM. I'm sure the company will counter that somewhere on their website they say to allow several hours for the experience and that they can't control wait times. But after seeing how efficiently other skydiving companies operate, this was clearly not just an unavoidable delay, it was obvious overbooking. Even people getting on the van between 5-5:30 PM told us their scheduled time had also been 3:00 PM. We had elderly family members who drove a long distance to watch him jump, and they ended up sitting outside in the heat for nearly 4 hours. That's not a minor delay; that's scheduling far more people than can realistically be handled. At the other companies we've used, the process was organized and efficient. You arrive at your scheduled time, complete a brief 10-15 minute safety orientation, get geared up, and within about 45 minutes you're heading up for your dive. It absolutely can be done smoothly when companies don't overbook. The jump itself was great. The management and scheduling were not.

If you are looking for a place to skydive look no more. They are very accommodating and friendly…read more You can sign up online and give your friends the group number to sign up and join you. They have your most common altitude jump but they also offer a high altitude jump that is double the free fall time (about a minute plus). They offer video packages and so on which is great to capture the moment but I suggest only do that once due to cost and it's a distraction when jumping. So much fun that I did a second jump same day the first time. They offer the necessary class and training if you wish to get certified and be able to jump solo. They have a nice area setup where friends and family can watch you. It is cold up there so bring a jacket and long pants for the jump. A lot of fun and good vibes.

Truly an amazing experience! Nothing like I expected!…read more The team at Skydive Central are family. It's a small weekend business and this is not their only means of income, so they aren't out for the money and therefore they don't make reckless calls. If there's any chance of a safety risk, they put you first. Our jump had to be rescheduled due to weather conditions, but they worked with us to get it on the books, and when the day came, they made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. They walked us through the process and answered all of our questions without hesitation. Once cleared, we geared up and up we went! If you purchase the video option, they take snippets along the way to build a video story. Our jump was on a very clear day, so once the chute deployed, they explained the sights as we floated down. We had a clear view of the Charlotte city skyline and we could see parts of Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. The freefall from 10,000 feet was quick and before I knew it, my chute was already open. I enjoyed the ride and the landing was cake. It was a wonderful first jump experience and I would not hesitate to do it again.

My cousin came in to town to visit and decided that we were going to do something different. After…read moregoogling around for a bit I came across Skydive Central and gave them a call. They were already booked up because it was such a nice day but Kelvin was nice enough to fit us in with such a short notice. I have been skydiving 5 times in different states and have had some great experiences. The whole staff was very friendly and did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable but most importantly safe. Our instructors Rob'O and Matt did a fantastic job and were true professionals. Coming from someone that has done this a handful of times. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking to jump. This summer will consist of many more visits from me and friends. Great job !

RICHARD ADDISON BROWN is a scam artist!!! We purchased a gift certificate for a hot air balloon…read moreride for 2 ($600!!). We got a reminder email THE DAY BEFORE but when we got to the meetup site, no one showed up. We called all the numbers and emailed with no response from anyone, just automatic replies saying that the business was closed! We want a refund but can't get ahold of anyone, it's like RICHARD ADDISON BROWN just evaporated into thin air and stole our money!! We will be taking this up with the courts! We drove two hours for that hot air balloon ride and had to get a sitter to watch our baby and had to wake up at 4am to get there but nobody showed up or had the decency to tell us!! ZERO STARS
