With modern SkyVenture technology, iFLY creates a safe and controlled environment for participants to live out their wildest flying fantasies. But iFLY offers more than just flying sessions. From education programs to team-building activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Let's dive into the details!
About iFLY Virginia Beach
iFLY Virginia Beach is a 14-foot (4.3 m) recirculating tunnel that opened its doors to the public in 2015. It was Virginia’s first wind tunnel and boasts a unique beachfront location, just a block from the Atlantic Ocean.
The Generation 6 SkyVenture (now known as iFLY Tunnel Systems) technology behind iFLY Virginia Beach is what makes flying possible, even indoors. The facilities features a vertical wind tunnel with 4 axial fans above the flight chamber, producing a jaw-dropping 1100 horsepower. These fans pull air up through the chamber, creating a wall-to-wall cushion of air for flying. It's basically like a giant vacuum cleaner that goes from floor to ceiling, with wind speeds between 80 to 160 mph.
The air is recirculated through the tunnel in a loop, while temperature and humidity are completely controlled, allowing the facility to stay in operation all year round, regardless of the weather conditions outside. The flight chamber itself is surrounded with ballistic glass, making it virtually silent for spectators and the recirculating design helps to greatly reduce noise outside the facility, respecting the surrounding area.

We expect to be a good time in this place but the front desk is there to make nothing. We spent a almost $ 300 dollars for leave this please disappoint with the quality of the fly. First of all the Helmet when they came to the front Desk they try sell another kind of helmet to make money. If you there to fly the gyus don't allow you go high. Another strategy is you need to pay more $ 10 dollar more. 1 minute and another 1 minute and you spent your money and stay the dream to really do the skydiving....very bad. Don't go in this please

I have been to this facility 7 times and have NEVER had a bad experience. The place is always clean and run well and the staff is always friendly. The instructors are absolutely fabulous and very patient with the clients. We always like to watch others fly and see their reactions. As long as you meet the weight requirements anyone can do it and have even seen a wheelchair bound child fly (the smile told the story). If this is something you have thought about doing, go for it! Dave is who we normally fly with and he is awesome but all the instructors are great.

The facility was clean and very welcoming. While waiting for our 10 minute lesson to begin, we were able to watch other sessions. I had Mark for my instructor. He was awesome, very calming and reassuring. I never felt unsafe or unsure during the experience. I would recommend this for anyone! I took my 7 year old niece and she loved it! Go ahead and purchase the high flight - it is worth it. I can't wait to go again.
