iFLY Kansas City Overview
Are you looking for a unique and thrilling experience that will leave you breathless? Look no further than iFLY Kansas City, the first and only indoor skydiving wind tunnel in Kansas. At iFLY KC (also known as iFLY Overland Park), you'll defy gravity and experience the sensation of freefalling without having to jump out of an airplane.
Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or a curious adventurer, iFLY Kansas City offers an unforgettable adventure that combines technology, safety, and fun in one. Let's explore more about this fascinating attraction that will take your breath away.
Indoor Skydiving in Kansas City
iFLY Kansas City is a 14-foot (4.3 m) recirculating tunnel that opened in January 2016. This Generation 7 SkyVenture model is the first (and to date only) wind tunnel in Kansas City and the only place to go indoor skydiving in both Kansas and Missouri (although the upcoming iFLY St. Louis will change that).
The wind tunnel is just south of I-435, off Metcalf Avenue. Like other SkyVenture (iFLY) tunnels of its generation, iFLY Overland Park/Kansas City is a round, wall-to-wall tunnel sporting wind speeds up to 171 mph (275 km/h).
Recirculating Wind Tunnel Technology
Ever wondered how indoor skydiving works? At iFLY Kansas City, advanced technology is used in a specially designed vertical wind tunnel that generates a powerful and stable airflow that simulates the sensation of freefall. The 14-foot tunnel is made out of transparent acrylic walls that let you see the action inside and outside.
The recirculating technology means that the air flows in a closed loop, as opposed to older, open-air designs that pulled air in from the outside. These open-air tunnels were incredibly noisy and highly influenced by the climate. Recirculating tunnels are quieter from outside the facility, ensuring little to no disturbance in the surrounding area.
Safety Measures at iFLY Kansas City
The safety of all flyers is a top priority at iFLY Kansas City. All flyers are required to attend a training session that covers the basics of body positioning, hand signals, and emergency procedures. You'll also be outfitted with a bodyflight suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs that will protect you from the airflow and noise.
There are certain restrictions, however. Pregnant women, people with heart conditions, back injuries, or recent surgeries are not allowed to fly. Always consult with a doctor if you have any concerns and feel free to speak with the iFLY Kansas City staff before booking.
Who Can Fly at iFLY Kansas City?
iFLY Kansas City welcomes flyers of all ages and abilities, as long as they meet the weight and height requirements. The minimum age is 3 years old, and the maximum age is 103! In reality, there's no maximum age but you should be fit and strong and have no medical conditions when entering the tunnel. The maximum weight limit is 300 lbs. Whether you come solo or with a group, iFLY Kansas City has the perfect package for you.
Packages and Prices

What to Expect on Your First Flight
If you're planning to fly at iFLY Kansas City, here are some insider tips to help you make the most of your experience.

Your instructor will guide you through the whole flight, adjusting and correcting your posture and movements.
The whole experience lasts from 1-2 hours and flights are usually just a minute long, although they feel much longer (in a good way). Once you're done, take a deep breath, smile for the camera, and feel proud of yourself when you receive your iFLY ceritifcate.

My biggest issue is i paid about 390 for 4 individuals. When we got there they talked us into paying an additional $39 for the high flight. They ended up charging us an additional $39 for a high flight for 2 individuals that we did NOT receive. They claimed they looked at the footage and that we received it, but we did not. The sad part is my son WANTED an extra high flight for his birthday and i said no but was charged for it anyway AND HE DID NOT GET THE 2ND HIGH FLIGHT. Other than that the experience was great. The members were attentive and professional. I also agree with the majority of the reviews on here that the price exuberantly exceeds the experience because the flight only lasts for 5 minutes at the most.

My wonderful husband wanted to surprise me with a package from ifly.Kansascity.com for myself, daughter and grandson. It was not a good experience. First he didn't call before driving to the location and it was closed(website hours said open). He went back the next day to book the package and ends up standing and waiting for 40 min to speak to someone about a package. They had a class in session so that was understandable but this where it turns really wrong. After waiting you would think Ifly people would be willing to help since Doug had been waiting and was going to be spend around $400.00. NO they did even try and help. They are very inconsiderate and flat rude. They were too busy talking to each other. No time for new customers! Not going to be a customer going to do real skydiving instead!

We celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday at iFLY this past weekend. My daughter has high functioning autism and after her first flight she got upset and didn't want to do it anymore. She said she felt like she couldn't breath. The instructor was very understanding about her not wanting to go again. Luckily, her dad and grandma talked to an employee about trying a different helmet, one that had a visor come down and protected her face. The employee that they got new helmet from was very helpful (wish we had gotten his name) and they let her try flying again. She was so happy, the new helmet worked and she had so much fun. The instructor and all the employees were patient and understanding, even though it may have gotten them behind, they accommodated her special needs and let her fly again and made her 16th birthday memorable. Thank you to all employees at iFLY!

It was fine. The entire experience took about 45 minutes. Each flight is one minute long and we purchased two flights for my daughter. During her first flight, she got nervous (4 seconds in) and the instructor sent her out early, telling me to get her a different helmet. I got her a different helmet, but he counted the 4-second flight as her first minute, so she really only received 64 seconds of flight for $50, which I thought was a little unfair. Why not just let her finish her first flight? I would've taken literally 56 seconds of his life and saved me a lot of tears on the way home. I guess I just feel like, for the cost, they could be a little better with customer service.
My 12-year-old son liked it fine.

My son has autism ,when we arrived I seen mostly all younger staff and was a little concerned due to patience from a lot of todays younger generation. I was very surprised how wonderful they were and patient with my son as well as many others. They did anything to help and make a great experience. That you can not put a price on !!!!

My brother gave us a present this year, Flight lessons! Our instructor was fantastic, I think his name was Brandon, a former wrestler from Southeast Polk. He made it an experience of a lifetime. My family loved it and we will definitely be coming back and bringing friends!

I took my first flight at iFLY Kansas City right after the facility opened. It only took the introductory flight to convince me that this was a sport that I wanted to continue to pursue.
Now, with over 4 hours in the tunnel, I am getting pretty decent at this indoor skydiving thing, thanks to my outstanding instructor/coach Caleb Foley and all the fabulous staff here.
This is a sport everyone should try at least once and I guarantee you will leave the tunnel with a huge smile on your face!

Wow from the minute you check in you are created w/a fantastic smile & friendly manner. We asked to take a look inside to check it out & he said "sure go ahead." We were hooked checked in with on-line monitor & super easy. Facility is very clean & decor is also cool! Raleigh was the instructor & did a fabulous job of explaining in detail hand signals & exactly what we needed to know. Would definitely recommend it!

Without a doubt, that was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever done. The entire process, from checking in, to being instructed on procedures once inside the tunnel, gearing up, and then finally going into the tunnel itself was painless and and easy. The receiving staff were very polite and helpful, and then our Instructor, Diego was extremely friendly and helpful in giving us pointers once we were inside flying. His cheerfulness and humor kept our group from being too nervous about going in, and once we had all gone, there was nothing but smiles across everyone's faces. For those who are on the fence about doing this, don't be afraid! The Instructors all have vast amounts of experience (as they will demonstrate at the end doing an impressive demo by themselves) and will ensure you have a fun but most importantly safe time. Props to the staff there! Keep up the good work gents!

I went to iFly for the first time last week and it was by far one of the craziest things I've done in a long time. It was so cool to feel what it would be like to actually sky dive. Austin Crandall was our instructor and he did a fantastic job. He made it so much fun for not just the adults, but the kids too. I will definitely be going back.

This location wasn't open yet but I have tried iFly at another location and can tell you it is a once in a lifetime experience. Something you shouldn't pass up!
Very low risk of danger and I've seen kids as young as 6 doing it as well.
Wife was scared before trying it but afterwards she said that it was a blast and nothing to be scared about.
I will defiantly be trying it again when this location opens!!!!
