Denver Indoor Skydiving: 2 Flights & Personal Certificate

Summary

Try indoor skydiving in denver with instructor guidance and certificate

You’ll step into Denver’s iFLY wind tunnel for two real flights with a certified instructor by your side—no plane or parachute needed. After quick training and gearing up, you’ll float on air currents (and maybe laugh at yourself). You’ll even take home a personalized flight certificate as proof you did it—plus that weirdly giddy feeling afterward.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest, I was nervous walking into iFLY Denver — not the kind of nerves you get before a roller coaster, more like that weird mix of curiosity and “what am I doing?” My friend Sarah had convinced me to try this indoor skydiving thing, promising it’d be nothing like jumping out of a plane. The place smelled faintly like gym mats and new sneakers, and there was this low hum from the wind tunnel behind the glass. Our instructor, Mike (who looked way too calm for someone who floats people in midair all day), handed us our gear and cracked a joke about my shoelaces — apparently loose ones are a no-go when you’re flying.

The training was quick but not rushed; Mike showed us how to hold our arms (“like you’re hugging a big beach ball,” he said) and what hand signals he’d use inside the tunnel. I kept thinking I’d forget everything once the wind started. When it was finally my turn, stepping into that vertical wind tunnel felt surreal — the air hit my face so hard it made my cheeks wobble (I probably looked ridiculous). For those few seconds, though, I wasn’t thinking about anything except trying to stay balanced while Mike hovered nearby, giving little thumbs-ups. It’s loud in there, but somehow you hear your own laugh echo back at you.

After my second flight (which went better than the first — less flailing), they handed me this “flight certificate” with my name on it. It’s kind of cheesy but honestly? I stuck it on my fridge anyway. There were kids cheering for their parents and one grandma who absolutely nailed her landing — everyone clapped for her. I didn’t expect to feel so light after, not just physically but in that silly proud way you get when you do something new. So yeah, if you’re looking for an indoor skydiving experience in Denver that doesn’t require jumping out of anything higher than your own nerves… this is it.
