Indoor Skydiving in Cincinnati: 2 Flights with Instructor

Float in a vertical wind tunnel at 130 to 175 mph with an instructor guiding you through free-fall conditions

iFLY Cincinnati is an indoor skydiving activity where you experience free-fall in a state-of-the-art vertical wind tunnel without jumping from a plane. After a training session with a certified flight instructor, you fly one-on-one twice for 60 seconds each, floating at wind speeds up to 175 mph in an enclosed chamber. The entire session runs about 75 minutes and includes all gear, instruction, and a personalized flight certificate. No prior skydiving experience is needed.

The experience

iFLY Cincinnati uses an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel to create the conditions of a skydive without leaving the ground. You arrive, put on your gear, and work through a specialized training session with an expert flight instructor who teaches you how to position your body and move safely in the airflow. The instructor explains how the wall-to-wall cushion of air keeps you stable as the wind speed climbs, and what to expect when you're airborne.

Once training is done, you step into the enclosed flight chamber for your first flight. The tunnel operator slowly increases the wind speed until you and your instructor are floating together. You'll feel the rush as the airflow reaches 130 to 175 mph, and the stable column of air holds you suspended while your instructor stays with you the entire time, guiding your movements. You fly for 60 seconds, then exit the chamber, catch your breath, and go back in for a second 60-second flight. The whole experience from arrival to certificate takes about 75 minutes.

Everyone from age three onward can participate: no skydiving background required, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. You take home a personalized certificate of flight achievement as proof of what you've done. Wear comfortable clothes and lace-up sneakers or running shoes. The facility provides all the specialized gear you need.
