    This was my first time for my family to indoor skydive. I was very nervous. After the impressive instructor guided us, I was confident that we were going to have a blast. All my personal belongings was put into a locker and the key was given to an employee for safety while I was in the wind tunnel. For FREE! I did not realize how happy I would be after my first wind tunnel ride. Thank you to all the supportive employees. I will be back!!6 Stars.

    We had so much fun today! Brock was an awesome teacher and made us all feel comfortable!

    What a great experience! My son wanted to go indoor skydiving for his 6th bday so we found SkyVenture on Yelp. I remember passing this place a few years back on my way to Tucson, so glad I remembered it. Dwayne was our instructor and he was absolutely amazing. When my son first stepped out to fly with him, he was freaking out a little, but Dwayne was able to calm him down. Its so loud in the tunnel and you can only understand hand motions and facial expressions, so the fact that he calmed my son down so quick and so easy was amazing! He was patient, knowledgeable, funny and made the experience easy and fun. Thank you so much for helping me create such a wonderful memory with my son for his bday. Definitely recommend this place! Go have an awesome adventure!

    I can not say enough about this place! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, eager, and willing to help out in all aspects of your visit. The facilities are incredible and we'll kept. The Hill family has built a home away from home! From the moment you got through the doors you are treated as though you're a regular at the DZ. If you've never scheduled some tunnel time here then you are missing out! I can not wait to get back for more adventures!

    Great place! Instructors were so helpful, kind, and patient. It was an experience we will not forget. Great for all ages, we had a six year old but also witnessed a 78 year old do the same experience.

    Today I took my fiancé to Skyventure for a unique birthday surprise. We had an amazing time! It was such an adrenaline rush. You start off at the reception desk and check in. You then head up the stairs to the wind tunnel where you see many skydivers in the tunnel practicing maneuvers and different types of flights. We sat waiting for about 20 minutes before anyone said anything to us which was kind of odd but we were a little early and we didn't mind so much because we were both enjoying watching the advanced skydivers practicing different flight patterns. After about 20 minutes someone came to get us to watch a short video instructing us on how to properly fly in the tunnel. It was brief but informative. Our instructor came to get us after the video was over and we suited up. We wore a helmet, goggles and a flight suit. There were six people total in the group that was waiting for their time in the tunnel including us. Each person gets either one minute or two minutes, two times a piece depending on what package you buy. It is quite expensive but well worth it. I had a bit of a panic attack initially and I was of course the only person in our group to have "turtle" moment completely flipped over on my back but our instructor was good and he calmed me down and helped me eventually on the second time around I was able to relax and enjoy it more. My fiancé was a natural and enjoyed every moment of it which Is all I could have really asked for. Overall great experience. If you are looking for a unique adventure this is the place to go for it!

    Our 3.5 yr old little girl has always watched daddy (who has his license) and mommy (once) skydive since she was just a baby... she finally got her turn to try it out in the tunnel and she was amazing!! Thank you so much to the instructors for being great with her!! So much fun and very safe!

    I took my 8 year old nephew and 6 year old Neice here as their Christmas present. The 8 year old did really great and had great form for it. The 6 year old had a good time but comprehending the best body position was a little tricky. The instructors were really great and seemed to have a really good time even though they do this everyday. I would recommend this to any age and anyone, but I think older kids will grasp the concept better and have more fun. One thing I will note is the plexi glass around the flying area is scratched so taking photos and videos have that in it. We bought the DVD from the place to have a video without scratches as we assumed the camera was placed inside and we were wrong. Our purchased DVD was filmed outside the glass as well so also had scratches in the view. I wouldn't recommend buying the DVD and just videoing yourself.

    Holy. Shit. What an absolutely insane experience…read more I went skydiving and got paired up with an instructor named Joel, and let me just say -- this guy is a total badass. From the second we geared up, he made me feel completely safe while also hyping me up like we were about to jump into a damn action movie. When we hit altitude and that door opened, my heart was pounding out of my chest. I looked at Joel and he just grinned like, "Let's f***ing do this." And then we were out. Free. Falling. The rush was unreal. The wind, the speed, the pure adrenaline -- it's the most alive I've ever felt. I was screaming, laughing, probably swearing my head off, and Joel was calm as hell, steering us through the sky like it was just another Sunday. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the freefall felt like the longest, wildest roller coaster drop of my life. Then the parachute deployed smooth as hell, and suddenly everything went quiet and peaceful. We just floated there, taking in the view, and I couldn't stop saying, "This is so f***ing cool." Joel was professional, hilarious, confident, and made the whole thing unforgettable. If you're even thinking about skydiving -- stop overthinking it and just book it. Ask for Joel. You won't regret a damn thing. When the chute was open and we were approaching landing Joel taps me and said "look at the altimeter, you see that this is when we want to stop making big maneuvers and start slowing down, lucky for you I'm not a student and I'm the instructor." And then spun us into an insane spiral before jerking us up into a momentary weightlessness. It was exhilarating. To top it off, Joel also did a little spiritual/mindfulness/mentalization exercise midair. The dude made the experience not just adrenaline filled, but also made it into some type of therapy session with my heart rate in the 190's. Absolutely legendary fucking experience. Cassandra and Ethan at the front desk made it even better from check in to explaining everything. It was all around an amazing experience and they all are such great people. 10/10. Would jump out of a perfectly good airplane again.

    JB, George, and the entire team at Skydive Phoenix were safety oriented professionals.

Started small talk with the other people waiting until our instructor Mo showed up. First thing out of his van was beautiful happy golden retriever named Rosa. She just helped set the mood for the rest of the morning. Mo was very friendly and informative. He was very quick with getting all the paperwork out of the way so we could get straight to the action. So easy to sign your life away on a waiver, right?! Continued out to the airstrip to watch Mo get all the equipment set as we sat around with intros and watching Rosa's energy. Quick set of safety instructions and the first person strapped in and was off the ground in minutes. Not that a dog should be the highlight of the flying experience, but Rosa was so excited to watch help set up and chase you down the airstrip. I would say she made the entire experience 30% better. Everyone walked away extremely elated with the experience. Mo was very professional and just a fun overall person to be around. We ended up tipping to basically make up the difference of the discounted Groupon. Well worth the full price of the ride. (You'll read in all my reviews that I big supporter of local businesses) Biggest tip...bring a warm jacket and gloves!

Check-in is at 6:15 a.m., so it's an early start, but it was completely worth it. After checking in, you're taken by van to the launch site, where the balloons are set up right in front of you. There were about 7-9 groups, and seeing all the balloons inflate and take off together was stunning. The operation is very well staffed, with multiple crew members (about 4) per balloon plus a tour guide, which helps explain the cost. Our guide, Jesse, was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better overall. Highly recommend!

We did a sunrise hot air balloon ride, so we had to be up at 5am, and leave before 6am because it's about a 30 min ride from Phoenix. When you arrive, you register in and then they will assign you a hot air balloon pilot. Once everything is ready to go, each pilot will call out their own name for guests assigned to them to follow them to a van. Each van then takes each group to a place that's about maybe 20 min away to a different location to where they set up the air balloons to take off. Each pilot will go over key things to be aware off and how to enter into the cabin of the hot air balloon. There's plenty of time allotted to take pictures (lots of people dressed up so they could get cute photos with the hot air balloons as a backdrop), but keep in mind it's so cold early in the morning so you may want to bring a light jacket. After the ride, the pilot cracks open a bottle of champagne and juices so we can toast to an amazing ride. This was an incredible experience and I highly recommend it if you can (and for those afraid of heights, I promise the ride itself is smoother than riding a plane, it's the most slow and steady ride you can experience!).

His flight instructor was funny but made sure everyone understood the hand signals. Answered questions etc. Grandson really loved his time. Very professional and they they really want the kids to have a good time. Also they were extremely helpful in a tough situation. I, I MADE a horrible mistake. I thought I had made my grandson's birthday flight for Sunday Feb15 at 2:30 PM. I did not realize that I had actually made it for Saturday Feb 14. Even though I read all the warning about cancellations etc. I called to ask if they could do anything for me because I could not disappoint my grandson. I believe it was Jackson who was very sympathetic and said he'd help me because they never want a disappointed kid. They did not have to do that per their website. One other issue is that I had paid for the video and pictures but I did not see it in the email. I called 3 days later to inquire and the person promised to fix it right away. In their defense I had made the reservation for Saturday so that could have caused the issue. The fact that he got the video and pictures out right away was fantastic. Also the videos were extremely good quality and better than our 2 phones. The instructor made sure of it because he positioned my grandson in front of their camera which made a big difference. He also positioned him in front of my wife since he saw her taking videos. Obviously I can't say enough good things about them. Well worth the money.
