Experience the adrenaline rush of skydiving without jumping out of a plane at iFly Chicago-Rosemont. With start times available throughout the day, you can easily find a session that fits your busy schedule. Feel confident after a small-group training session, then head into the tunnel for your solo floats. An instructor is present for both 60-second sessions to give you personalized instruction. Afterwards, take home a flight certificate to commemorate your adventure.
Arrive at iFLY Chicago-Rosemont 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.
