What is iFLY Tampa Indoor Skydiving?
For those unfamiliar with indoor skydiving, it's a thrilling simulated skydiving experience that takes place inside a vertical wind tunnel. At iFLY Tampa, this tunnel is an impressive 14 feet in diameter and over 50 feet tall, making it one of the largest indoor skydiving facilities in the world. The wind tunnel is equipped with four powerful fans above the flight chamber that pull air through the tunnel at wind speeds of up to 163 mph... enough for us humans to fly in it!
Construction on the single-level facility began in January 2016, and doors opened to the public in November 2018. The facility is located just west of I-75, approximately 15 minutes by car from Hyde Park and downtown Tampa.
iFLY Tunnel Systems, formerly SkyVenture, has been building wind tunnels since 1998 and has now built more than 100 indoor skydiving facilities around the world! The construction of the wind tunnel itself is a marvel of engineering, designed to provide maximum airflow and stability for a comfortable flight experience.
iFLY Tampa is the only wind tunnel in the Tampa Bay area, but it is one of four wind tunnels currently operating in Florida. The Sunshine State is also home to iFLY Fort Lauderdale, iFLY Orlando, and iFLY Jacksonville). A fifth Florida iFLY, a Generation 9 tunnel due to open in Miami, was announced in 2021 and is currently under construction.

Went here today (12.9.18) and had a blast!! Everyone was super friendly and especially our instructor, which I forget his name now but he is from Jersey. The educational video was short and informative and the entire process of getting "geared up" went smoothly! My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves! On the second go around my husbands back was bothering him so I took his turn and had over 2 minutes in the tunnel- SO fun! I did feel a little dizzy towards the end and our instructor so graciously brought me a bottled water! I REALLY wish there was a way to tip the instructor on your card. There was a tip jar and we dont carry cash on us. If there was an option to add a tip at the end via card we would have loved to do that! Overall 10/10!

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in a wind tunnel. We used to rent the tunnel at Eloy for an hour at a time and fly full combat equipment. If you like bouncing off the net with 35 MPH winds then this tunnel is for you. I spend 25 years in a Special Forces HALO team and understand the dynamics of free fall. Seriously if you were flat enough to get off the net they would not let you turn right or left. I got it, Im not a wind tunnel guru but their little flight show at the end should be with 35 MPH winds and see how special that is. I got more air going out of the parking lot on my bicycle. Don't waste your money if you have ever jumped before. Took the kids that have never done anything like that and they had fun, I will give them that.

First time flyer. It was a BDay gift. Staff was gr8 and watching others befor I went flying was great entertainment. My instructor answered all of the questions quickly and made sure all of us understood him. Will go again and showed my video to all my friends and posted it on Facebook. A group of us are going soon.

Everything was on time for our first flight, then a fire alarm went off. No fire, however, this lasted an hour. No worries... our instructor, Shane, was hospitable and helped the time go by.
Finally get to go up and it was an awesome, fun experience!
We will be back!

My family and I had the most incredible time at iFLY Tampa last sunday!! From Catherine H. who was more than helpful, accommodating and super friendly at the front desk...... to our more than experienced Instructor Daniel L. who was brilliant, and had the best personality to boot! My mother was extremely nervous and almost backed out, but the staff made her feel immediately comfortable and gave her the confidence she needed. My mother was soon laughing and grinning from ear to ear!! My entire family had such an exhilarating experience inside the wind-tunnel, but it was the iFLY Tampa staff more than anything, that will keep us coming back for more!! Already purchased more tickets and are looking forward to our next flight!!

Me and my mom came in to just check it out. I've never seen my mom so excited like this, like a little kid in a candy store. So off a wim we said why not. Staff was great and professional and made sure we had a great time. We had a blast, so much fun. Seeing my mom so excited made my day, and it's truly fun. By the way my mom is 68 years old. Definitely let them take you up high, so worth it.

The actual flying was an awesome time for the kids, but retrieving the videos and pictures we paid for was absolutely terrible.
Their staff isnt trained well on the system. They didn't use the correct names so finding our videos/photos was difficult and the system kept timing out. Hopefully we can download them online at home.....

My 23 year old daughter convinced me to go and I'm so glad she did. Drew was our instructor and he was extremely informative, patient, helpful and most of all fun. We purchased a voucher for additional minutes to be used in the future. I can't wait to go back. If you are considering this even for a moment, DO IT. Well worth the $$.
