iFLY Indoor Skydiving – Seattle

I called to get information and the woman that picked up asked if I could hold for just a quick minute. I agreed and 20 minutes later I was still on hold. Then I tried calling back and there was no answer

There was a mixup in our tickets and we had only purchased one instead of two. The manager and front desk staff were SO nice and arranged it so we could both fly and both receive movies! VERY accommodating. The flight staff was what made the experience most fun and memorable :) thank you for giving us an incredible time!

I want to say that while this activity was not my favorite thing I have ever tried, the staff at the facility was amazing! Our instructor Vance was so kind and patient. There are not enough words to say how incredible he is and how much our group really appreciated his instruction. He made the experience memorable.

We had our daughters birthday party here. As the kids say «IT WAS AWSOME» the staff was great and friendly. The flight instructors (Dev, Johanna) were great with the kids thank you guys.
Ifly was a hit with the kids and parents, great job ifly staff we will be coming back.

My family got these to have a family outing on christmas and finally came out today to spend the gift certificates. I didnt know much of what to expect, except for the how pricey it was to go. I do warn plan in advance. It is an hour your first time for the safety video before hand on your first time.
So the experience was amazing. Very short but very worth the trip. Our instructer was Andy and I asked him how long he had worked there, he told me it was only his second month. WOW. He had amazing energy and was very helpful in teaching us how to hold ourselves. And did very good with the little kids in the group. He made the experince for us. (also have to say he was very attractive as well so that was nice! Ha)
So paying this much at first on how to hold your body kind of sucks, but definitely made me want to return to master my technique. It was still very thrilling. And we paid for the spin at the end which i thought was the best part. Everyone in the group had a blast and even though it was only 2 minutes each we enjoyed watching everyone else experience it too!

went with my husband and we had a blast. it’s something different and if you never want to go skydiving, this is the next best thing. book our kids to give it a try

Oh my goodness was this expensive. The initial package is just the basic flight for a minute, but they keep trying to get you to add on experiences that should come standard. Want to go up to a decent height? An extra $ 10. Want more than 2 trips? An extra $ 20. Want to wear a nicer helmet in the wind tunnel? $ 10 more dollars! Then there are the photos and videos you’ll want to purchase.
Don’t get me wrong, the experience was fun, but do it once and try not to think about how much money you’re paying. Oh and make sure your hair is tied back, because mine got terribly knotted by the wind.

This was Fun! Everyone was helpful as you walk in to start your adventure.
We had a blast and everything was easy to learn and go through as you went through the training, great, and event.
Such a cool experience for ages 3 and up. We hope to go again.
Downside, really expensive.

Request Scott! He’s a very enthusiastic and personable instructor, the staff at this location is incredible and makes the experience that much better.

Had a great time today. We took one of the grandsons here as a belated B-​Day gift. Kid had a blast and we enjoyed watching. (I’ll be back another time to try it out)
The staff seemed to be on top of things and all we watched appeared to be enjoying the experience.
Extra $ 10 for the high flight at the end is a must!
Check in was smooth and quick (we reserved online)

The product is cool, but the employees were awful. I arrived with only one other customer in line. When I approached the desk to check in, one of the three people at the desk grunted that I needed to register first at the machine in the entry way. Since there were four of us, I registered all four and got into line to finish the process. THEN, they tell us there is a three hour wait for anyone without reservations.
Meanwhile, there are three employees behind the counter and two «managers» less than ten feet away hidden in their office. No sign indicating a wait, no effort to leave from behind the counter, no concern at all on their part when I told them that they could take one of their five people in the reception area out from behind the counter to engage with their customers.
I left, kids disappointed, 30 minutes lost and convinced never to spend a dime on their business. If there was competition in this product, iFly would be out of business in a week.

I was treated to an experience here as a birthday gift and this was super fun. The folks manning the front desk were very friendly during the intake process. We had Johannes as our instructor and he was super nice. I did the general wind tunnel experience and threw in the «extra» package which was super nice. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Awesome experience! Loved it…
My room mates parents got us two flights for christmas two years ago. We decided this weekend we would get the nerve to do it. I wish we wouldn’t have waited so long!
Our instructor was very helpful and kept up a good energy and made sure we had fun. Which is a major part since i was TERRIFIED to do this. Sweaty palms and shaking slightly i am a wimp. But the instructor (vance i would definitely suggest requesting him) had a great attitude and, like i said before, made sure it was fun.
When we tried to redeem our media vouchers we had some trouble and they wouldn’t work so i called and the customer service rep. (Joe) was very helpful and walked us threw how to redeem them, then when it didn’t work (again), he gave us new vouchers for the videos!
I will be back and even possibly do the education coarse! It was awesome!
Thanks vance jo and i fly you guys made it delightful !

We had a great time today as First Time Flyers!!!
Johannes was an awesome guide and I would def go again… and want him to coach us.

A well-​intentioned birthday gift from a jilted EX-​BOYFRIEND brought us here. After sitting on the gift certificate for well over a year, my husband finally completed his will, leaving everything to a pair of Mallards that frequent our yard, and decided it was time to bite the bullet and try the place out.
iFly is an indoor skydiving facility that’s supposed to recreate the experience of REAL outdoor skydiving without the possibility of smashing into the ground faster than you can say «Hey, maybe this wasn’t such a good –» A mysterious man in a booth controls the velocity of the wind and a seasoned instructor (often hunky) briefs you on the experience, then assists you during the process, after you watch a video while trying to fight the screaming voices in your head which tell you that you’ve made a terrible mistake.
As with any other physical activity from bowling to swimming to fighting off a herd of rabid chinchillas, I fully expected to make a fool of myself at iFly. This belief was reinforced when I was given a «flying suit» — an blue jumpsuit — about 4″ too long at the ankles — as well as a helmet that screamed «I eat glue, don’t give me sharp objects!!». To round off the look, we were given spongy ear plugs. Mine fell out during the flight, never to be seen again. No jewelry, not even wedding rings during the flight. My rings were taped onto my fingers, in case they scratched the glass of the wind tunnel, but they refused to tape my eyes and mouth shut.
The admission price gives you two flights in the wind tunnel, and you are with about 10 other people during a rotation– people, who all witness your pathetic sky diving glory as they wax paranoia about their own fates. We had the fortune of flying with a bunch of kids, one elderly lady, and two men who kept high fiving each other (and missed) after a flight. We were told to encourage our entourage with high fives after every flight, but the kids were cocky and I felt that the high fives I was given were more conciliatory than congratulatory. «Don’t feel bad», my high fives seemed to say, «At least, Jesus still loves you…».
What made our experience stand out was our instructor, Casey. Having worked at iFly since its inception, Casey went out of his way to tell me why I was spending most of my time on the bottom of the floor, or upside down instead of floating in the air. Even after we got out of our hilarious suits, Casey explained what I was doing wrong (everything). Any slight inflection of our limbs would screw up our position and cause us to lose our form. At the end of every flight, the instructor also grandstands HIS skills with Batman and Buzz Lightyear moves walking around the perimeter of the facility, flipping, and so on.
Instead of paying the extra $ 10.00 for the extra spin to the top with the instructor, we opted to spend the entire time perfecting our form. We became so interested in succeeding at the skydiving experience, that we purchase another two flights, as they are less expensive when purchased right after the flight experience than off the internet.
Fun, fun, fun, and definitely takes you out of your comfort zone.

So much fun! The instructors were very patient and helping people get it right and they were so much fun and you can tell that they really enjoyed their job. When I got to go up with the second instructor, it was the most fun I’ve had it been way too much long of a time. It just made me more anxious to go real skydiving but this was a great start and I can’t wait to go back. The best thing was my group at ages ranging from a nine-​year-​old girls all the way to 65-​year-​old man and we all had a blast with each other as a group. Definitely getting a longer fly time next time.

This was awesome! I’ve always wanted to try this and was lucky enough to receive a flight as a birthday gift while in Seattle I did a 2 minute flight, plus extra lift/​pressure with my instructor and it was so much fun! Definitely a surreal feeling and the wind pressure was not as powerful/​difficult as I expected. I bought extra time for a later date immediately following — the best priced deal. I highly recommend an iFly experience for anyone with interest.

My auntie took me here and it was a really cool experience! The instructors were great! Looking forward to going back

As other stated — fun to do once, but not a habit. They tell you to arrive an hour early, then were surprised when I did arrive an hour early so they put me with an earlier group. Their computers must be 100 years old because even with doing the paperwork online and checking in on their computer, it took them 10 minutes to check us in. The employees even commented how much they hate their own systems.
You go through the whole process for a grand total of 2 minutes of actual fun, with an extra $ 10 spent for the 5 seconds they take you flying up to the top.
Afterwards, I had to wait another 15 minutes while they figured out how to reprint my certificate because they wrote the name completely wrong.
p. s. — They give you a free picture if you post a positive review and show them that you did, so essentially they are paying people to post positive reviews. As you can see, I didn’t take that offer.

I purchased the Spread Your Wings for Two package as a Valentines Day gift for my boyfriend. For $ 132, each person participates in two one-​minute flights and gets to choose two video clips from their flights.
The instructions tell you to arrive 1 hour early. When we arrived, check-​in took less than 5 minutes. You have the option of signing the waiver before you arrived. After we were weighed, we went up to the observation deck. I’m not going to lie, I was a little bit nervous.
Luckily, we got to watch the group before us have fun in the wind tunnel. It was a birthday party for a five-​year old. They even had a superman flight suit for the kid. It looked like everyone was having a blast. It was very cute and reassuring to watch. Obviously if a kid could do it, so could I!
30 minutes before your flight time, you are introduced to your instructor and educated on the hand signals to adjust your body position during the wind tunnel. Our instructor Peter was very outgoing and friendly. For $ 10 you can upgrade to do a «high-​fly». After watching everyone in the class before us participate in the high-​fly and leave with grins on their faces, it was hard to say no.
I loved this experience. Honestly, I went in thinking it would be a one-​time thing but I could definitely see myself going back. It is expensive but they do offer discounted packages for future visits on the day of your flight. I respect that they are not pushy but rather they educate you on your options.

The previous reviews states that this is only worth doing once and I completely agree. I found a great deal at Costco so I of course had to capitalized on that. Our deal came with two one minute flights, a certificate, and one video to redeem after your flights.
For first time flyer, they tell you to arrive an hour early. The first half hour you are there solely to watch the class ahead of you fly. The second half is to watch a video, go over hand signals, and put on your ridiculous uniform, goggles, helmets, and ear plugs. Each «cohort» waits in the same tunnel to fly. The first flight is a tester flight where the instructor corrects your form. Then you get back in line and wait for the rest of your cohort to finish their first flight. During the second round, you have an option of going higher. I chose this option and found that the my instructor was very conservative with heights as he did not take me very high. I flew about ten — fifteen feet off ground. Once everybody finishes their second flight, then you are able to leave the tunnel.
Overall, our two one minute flight took an hour and a half. As previously stated, cool to do once and try it out, but I wouldn’t make it a habit to come here.

I visited iFly a week after my last relationship ended and naturally like your average woman after a breakup, I had a compulsive urge to do something KrAYzEE.
iFly is an appropriate celebratory activity post-​breakup because if you decide that you enjoyed it enough to begin recreationally skydive and risk the possibility of splitting your skull in half, you don’t have to get into that whole argument with your partner like LET ME MAKE MY OWN UNWISE DECISIONS, YOU SWEET, CARING SHITHEAD!
After filling out the necessary paperwork on the 100 computer screens they have attached to the walls, you get weighed and then led upstairs to watch training videos and don wildly unattractive colorblocked fly gear.
And seriously, what’s with the mega hot male instructors here? I saw two, one of whom was mine, and they both looked like they just walked out of a Men’s Fitness magazine and here we all are dressed like we’re about to be extras for Lady Gaga’s clown porno.
And the humiliation doesn’t end there. Nope. I think I found my body caressing the netting almost the entire time because I’m retarded. My brain malfunctioned and lacked the ability to coordinate my limbs to go where they needed to in order to float. I blame how good-​looking my instructor was. Stupid hot instructor.
We paid an extra $ 10.00 to do the hyperspeed spin to the roof. It’s when they throw your body around in circles until you reach the top at some supersonic speed, much too aggressive for me to be thinking anything except for how my body was at the level of his crotch.
My worst fear, the cherry on top of being dressed up as a clown pornstar and wearing protective, drool-​smeared goggles that don’t protect for SHIT, was face-​planting his dick. He flew me up three times and each time it was DEAR GOD DON’T LET ME FLY MY FACE INTO HIS BALLS.
Unless you’re a high roller, this place is only worth doing once.
