Things to Do

Indoor Skydiving Experience

9540 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77055

Experience all the plummeting, free falling, and soaring sensations of skydiving without ever getting on a plane. This indoor skydiving experience puts you in a vertical wind tunnel, where you can float weightlessly in space for an unforgettable adrenaline rush in totally safe surroundings.

Arrive at iFLY and get geared up, stepping into your flight suit, strapping on your helmet, and adjusting your protective goggles to fit. An experienced and accredited instructor leads you in an introductory training session so that you can get the most out of your adventure, and then it’s time to step into the flight chamber.

The instructor accompanies you inside and offers tips and pointers, and then you're lifted off your feet as the chamber fills with rushing wind. Hover above the ground, spin through the air, and feel the thrill before touching back down on solid ground. Then, catch your breath and do it all over again.
