iFLY
We operate indoor vertical wind tunnel attractions that simulate free-fall skydiving and give customers an in-flight bodyflight experience. Our locations serve guests looking for entertainment, instruction, training, and competition in a controlled environment. We also offer coaching, organized flights and events, competitions, video and photo packages, and branded merchandise such as clothing, toys, and memorabilia. An iFLY business is a location-based entertainment operation built around the wind tunnel, with a trained team that manages installation, operation, maintenance, customer instruction, and day-to-day service.
