Take a break from sightseeing in Minneapolis to experience the rush of skydiving—without jumping from an airplane. Those afraid of heights will love this activity, which includes two “jumps” and takes place inside of a high-velocity wind tunnel with an instructor at your side. No experience is necessary and participants of all skill levels can join in.
Arrive at iFLY Minneapolis, and get started by putting on your gear and going through a specialized training session from an expert flight instructor.
You’ll learn how to safely float in an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel that generates a wall-to-wall cushion of air – commonly used by professional skydivers – without having to jump from a plane. Just about anyone can fly, and no experience is necessary.
Once you're inside the enclosed space of the flight chamber, a tunnel operator slowly increases the wind speed until you and your instructor are airborne. Feel the adrenaline rush as you float at wind speeds reaching 130 to 175 mph (209 to 282 kph). The stable wall-to-wall airflow keeps you from falling off the column of air, and your instructor is on hand at all times to guide you.
The entire indoor skydiving experience takes about 75 minutes from start to finish. Each session includes up to six people, but you fly one-on-one with your instructor for 60 seconds in the wind tunnel twice.
