iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Chicago Rosemont - Rosemont, Illinois

Michael Wu PhD

My wife and I had our first indoor skydiving experience here. It was a bit scary at first, but the instructors were excellent. So it turns out to be I found experience. A few things to note:

1) if you are doing the high flyer, the instructor will spin you around while bringing you up high in the tunnel. We felt a little dizzy from the spinning. It would have been a much better experience if they could bring me up up with less spinning or at least slower.

2) holding a fixed posture while in the wind tunnel requires more physical strength than I thought. Although the instructor says I can relax, I can't relax without changing my posture, which keeps my body stable.

3) The only thing we really dislike about this experience, is after The experience, when I am ready to download my photo and video. We only get to pick one video and one photo. The preview of the video they give you is only 20 seconds long, so you can't see how the rest of your flight was, which is typically a minute or longer. And also the preview of the photo is very low resolution and has such a big and heavy watermark that blocks a lot of the detail. So you cannot really choose which photo you really like because you can't see details of many of them. And the worst thing is that after you choose which video or photo to download, You can't change it.

I really think this leaves a terrible aftertaste. After a couple weeks they are going to delete the video and the photos anyway. Why not let us choose which video we really want, and see which photos we really like so we feel good sharing them with our friends and family? I think this is just bad business. And the people running it just doesn't seem to understand customer experience, and modern consumer behavior. This alone, made me drop 2 stars, from the otherwise 5 star experience.

My kid was stressed and bailed out twice in a middle of the 2 flights but the instructor was so good with him he was able to complete on 3rd attempt. In the end my son was very proud of himself. Thanks!

I had a fantastic time there yesterday! I never would have gone on my own, but some friends and my daughter were interested. So I was nervous but the instructor, Adam, was really great. He is really good at what he does. It was a completely new and wonderful experience.

First of all, I am scared of heights & my husband is into all sorts of adventure. I was pursuaded that if I did iFLY with him, I don't need to do bungee jumping or sky diving with him in the future.
So I signed up for 4 jumps plus one High Fly. I wish I was drunk, but drinking is prohibited before you Ifly.
All the staff were all super nice, I am glad there's a group of kids flying with us, I was a bit distracted by their cute questions and thinking if they can do it, why can't I.
They put the most difficult one in the beginning, the fly high one was our first, I actually kind of blank during there, not thinking about the height or my fear, only focus on what the coach gestures.
Even though we all sign the waiver, and I was scared so much, but we did it without any harm. & The kids in our group was all cheer up.
So I have to say -- if I can do it, you can, too.
The coach here are all very patient and kind.
Best place to iFLY.
My husband sneaked out during his conference and after ifly he sneaked back.
& I award myself with some beers in Fashion Mall.
Thank you iFLY & Yeah! I did it.

My first time here for my daughter’s friend’s birthday party and it’s AMAZING here!! The manager, Matthew, is so kind and friendly! And Maddie was SO GREAT to work with, she flew with the kids and she was so kind and patient with our first-timers! I’m definitely wanting to come back and experience it myself. ?

Everyone was super friendly and knowledge. Our instructor was Joe and he made the experience 10x better than it already was. Helped keep us calm and ensured we had a good time the entire time we were in the air. Would definitely recommend booking with him and we plan to go back and see him!

Loved it more than I thought I would. Our instructor, Adam was very nice and knowledgeable. Also had a good sense of humor. Would highly recommend and plan on going again soon.
