We had our son's 10th birthday at iFly today and it was a fantastic experience! Joe was so patient with our crowd; ask for him, if possible! Each flyer got 3 flights, including a high fly. My son got a little extra flight time as the birthday kid. Our experience started on time, even though we were a few minutes late arriving. They really have a great system, moving different groups throughout the space while still making you feel like you're the only ones there. You may not have the same experience if you're not part of a group but we were very pleased by how well things were run. We had a party room and it was set up for us ahead of time. I didn't actually need to use my own decor/paper products but if that's important to you, you can probably make arrangements ahead of time. The pizza provided by Jet's Pizza was really good! You don't always know what to expect when you're having pizza included as part of a package but in this case, have no fear. Water and soda was also provided. Our package also included vouchers for each flyer to download a photo and video from their flights. This was a really easy process and a great memento for the kids. We highly recommend iFly and plan to return soon. My son says he wants to work for them someday so he'll need lots of practice. =)

Took my daughters to IFLY on the weekend and they had a blast! This was our first time here and was very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back. A big thank you to our instructor Joe, he was awesome!!!Hi Carlos, your 5 star feedback makes our day! Thank you for sharing these kind words about your indoor skydiving experience and our staff. From all of us at iFLY - Houston Woodlands, we hope to fly with you all again soon!

We're going again! It can be a bit pricey but my son said the experience was definitely worth it. They check your temperature when you come in and you have to wear a mask. Once there you have to wait about 20 min before they take you into a room and go over the rules and m safety procedures. Everyone was very professional.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What is indoor skydiving?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 20, 2021

Competitive indoor skydiving, also known as Bodyflight, shares many of the disciplines of competitive skydiving, such as formation skydiving and freestyle skydiving. Generally, athletes compete to successfully complete a certain number of maneuvers in an allotted amount of time. Athletes can compete as teams, working to complete maneuvers and grips, or as individuals. Each performance is recorded and judged by a panel of experts. If you’re interested, our instructors can help you improve your flying skills and take you to the next level of indoor skydiving.

How does it work?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 20, 2021

A vertical wind tunnel has fans at the top of the building to draw air through the flight chamber and then push it back down the sides through Return Air Towers. That leads to an inlet contractor that compresses & speeds up the air before it reenters the flight chamber. The result: a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.

What is a wind tunnel?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 20, 2021

Very simply, a wind tunnel is a machine that moves a lot of air. A vertical wind tunnel, which is what we use at iFLY, moves air in a vertical column at speeds high enough to keep a person safely floating.

How do gift vouchers & cards work?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021

Is indoor skydiving safe?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 20, 2021

Yes, your safety is our primary concern! Our unique design with its wall-to-wall air column, along with our certified and highly-trained instructors, allows you to safely enjoy your flight session. Your flight instructor is with you through your entire flight experience regardless of your level of experience.

How long is a flight?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 20, 2021

Each flight within the wind tunnel lasts 60 seconds and each package includes a minimum of two 60-second flights (turns in the tunnel). However, total flight length depends on the package that you choose. When jumping out of an airplane, the free fall portion lasts approx. 45 seconds. If you reserve a package that contains 4 flights, you will have 4 turns in the wind tunnel with an instructor lasting 60 seconds each. Some of our packages include double-length flights which lasts double the time at a reduced cost. The entire iFLY first-time flyer experience takes approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes from start to finish.

Is indoor skydiving scary?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 20, 2021

Generally, no. There’s no jumping, no falling, and no experience is needed. You simply float on a column of air at about torso height of your instructor. There is no sensation of falling or anything that would make you feel motion sickness.

Is it hard to breathe in the wind tunnel?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 19, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Houston Woodlands (Owner) | Jun 20, 2021
