iFly SF Bay Review

interesting for team events, but long wait till a few minutes play

Thank you. The Brown family of five had a blast. Aaron is an asset to iFLY really went above and beyond to make sure it was a good time for the children (8, 6 and 4). While my husband and I are glad we did it, not sure we will be return flyers. The children want to come again today and the next and the next.........

My brother paid for our family experience as he is sussing it out for a business venture he is undertaking and wanted to see if it was feasible to have the structure involved. He was impressed with how smooth the check in was. The webstie is needing a little work. We attempted to book online after a gift certiicate was purchased and that failed. We then tried to obtain the pre registration forms online prior to checking in and that failed too. Wasn't a big deal because doing it in person took all of 2 minutes.

It's a thrilling experience without the expense or danger of jumping out of a plane. The staff is fun loving and enthusiastic. I LOVED it the first time, and the second visit was just as good. Will definitely go back again for more! Will try to drag some nervous friends with me. Once the initial fear is gone, it's a slobbery good time . . . I couldn't stop smiling, and it blew the saliva right out of my mouth! LOL

Too much money, not enough fly time.

Really fun, but you only get two 60 seconds of "flying" time. Way too expensive!

I'm scared of doing the real thing - the real sky diving so the next best thing is to do the reverse - getting thrown upwards by air flowing underneath you. Totally enjoyed it and I would recommend going again and again. Took my wife and went on my birthday with a Google Offer deal that gave us 2 tickets for the price of one. So overall had a blast. The only complaint is that it lasted very short - the actual fly time is like 1 minute rounds of 2 to 3. That's sad. Wish for 90 bucks they allow us to fly a bit more.

This is a fun, unique service that your whole family will enjoy. A tad on the expensive side...

Nice instructors and fun activity to do with friends, especially as it requires little skill. Wish they'd spent more time explaining how different positions would help move you around - I felt I had little control over myself. But brilliant fun, especially when they spin you and very exhilarating. If you have one bring a skull cap to wear under your helmet to prevent crazy knots in your hair.

Cool but really

Fun

The staff was freaking amazing I loved this whole experience

Great experience with instructor Randy, will be back for sure!!!

Highly professional coaches. Helpful and patient. Good for newcomers.

Holy jamoly was this an experience! For being only a few feet above ground, it's still a very terrifying experience for those that are afraid of heights. I don't think I'd ever go actual sky diving but this in itself, did a very good job simulating that experience for those that are less ballsy like me. It's a lengthy process before you even get your turn in the giant wind tunnel, but they show you a safety video on how you should have your arms and legs followed by suiting you up, and then putting you in there for your turn. There's an instructor inside with you at all times, so find comfort that there's someone always watching you. My first experience inside was terrifying, and the 30 seconds - a minute that you're in there, feels like a life time. But rest assured, the second time is not as bad and for about $10/$15+ more, you also get the opportunity to have the instructor take you spinning up and down the wind tunnel! Which, although I was very nervous for... it was extremely fun the second time going in! Highly recommended for anyone that's considering sky diving but want to experience something that simulates that before doing the real thing!

Great fun, thrilling experience. Pricey for a short time but that's the intro package, it does go down if you become a frequent flyer which you'll want to if you like a rush. Thomas, our flight leader was great. Friendly, encouraging, great with the kids. Overall awesome experience.

Great place for skydiving: good equipment, pro and careful instructors!

I was intrigued by indoor skydiving ever since I was a young lad when I saw it on Evening Magazine circa 1982. I always envisioned a huge cylindrical chamber full of people in Michelin Man type outfits flying around bumping into each other. It's not really like that--the chamber is small and transparent, and it's only you and your instructor in there (with a bunch of onlookers watching from the bleachers or with their noses pressed up against the glass). Oh, and also very fast--you only get 2 one-minute sessions.

It's definitely an interesting experience, albeit a short one. I felt like just when I was starting to get the hang of it, my instructor grabbed me and tossed me out the exit opening. Maybe that's the way to get you to come back for more. I really wanted to spend a good half hour in there...but I'm sure I'll be back again sometime.

We could not be happier with our experience today with Andrew as our instructor. He made us forget about the delay of over an hour to get in.

Worth paying the extra USD 10 for the 'drop' ...sort of a free fall, but with the instructor leading you up and down.

Absolutely amazing. Definitely a must if you are in the area or are even thinking of doing it.

This place is perfect for people that aren't afraid of heights. Sadly, I am.

Wow, what an experience and I was only watching this time, I am making a reservation and returning to actually fly!!

Not as good as real skydiving but fun none the less :-)

Love flying here, but the pace is a bit too hectic.

Didn't deliver videos as promised due to 'technical difficulties'. Not even an apology let alone a refund. Left a bad taste after such a good experience.

Very nice place to experience something new, and very nice staff.

Worst experience- have to wait for an hour. Very Rude staff!! If you are taking so much money, be courteous...

Great staff, wide ranges of skill and experience, safe, fun, something for everyone!!!

I love this place.. this was my kids first time and they had the time of their life... we will definitely be going back there..

Excellent place for birthdays and other celebrations! Very informative pre-flight school, and amazing instructors. Highly recommended!

The most fun with the kids EVER. Seems expensive but who cares for that much unique fun.

Great adventure for all ages. Would definitely be going back. Instructors were great with the kids especially the ones who were a little on the scared side

Super fun experience!!! Add the fly high package for a grand finale!!!

This is a really cool and unique place that is super fun.

Called to see about a hardcopy waiver because long drive for the parents to go and some don't use a computer but they were not very nice, almost want to cancel the birthday party. Not happy with there customer service at all.

Super cool. If your unsure you can go and watch others do it.

I had so much fun here. I like skydiving very much.

What an amazing experience.

Bought tickets for two flights and a high fly session. Our coach was Albert who patiently explained the motions and hand signals. We had a small child in our lesson and Albert definitely took the time to make sure she was comfortable with the experience.

The flights were one minute each and the second flight we went high fly. Went up and down a couple of times. One minute is definitely enough.

What I wish I knew: do not arrive too early. They have 30 minutes worth of arrival time. So my 7pm fly really started around 8pm. 7-7:30 was waiting for all the people to arrive. 7:30-8 is class and get equipment.
Also - getting photos and video is a hassle. The computer system is slow. If you don t fly near the camera you don t get photos. I only had 2. And one of them was bundled in another person s photo set.

A short but very unique experience. The flights seem quite short (2 one-minute flights per person for the package we chose), but they are sufficient to enjoy the sensation of flying. Also, the duration is comparable to the length of freefall in real skydiving, with fewer risks.

The price is slightly steep, but overall it's a fun experience that is worth doing once. Note that heavier people will have a more difficult time getting lifted, and beyond certain threshold it's simply not feasible, so be sure to check the FAQs on their website before visiting.

Awesome place to go and take your kids and friends!

Very exciting and good experience. Totally worth for starters. I recommend going for this.

Fantastic place for kids birthday parties. The entire facility is so well run that it takes all of the stress of prepping for a party completely out. The staff are total PROs with the kids and they make the training a lot of fun. Worth a visit - no question about it.

Awesome place! Took my son here for his 12th and now my daughter for here 12th. They both had the time of there lives. The girl says it was so far her best few minutes of twelve years old!

My kids really loved this place. Make sure to pay the extra ten dollars so they can go super high.

Have wanted to *indoor* skydive for ages. You do feel like you re flying and the prep process is not too drawn out. If you ve filled out your waivers online you don t need to arrive much earlier than your appointment time although it is both fun and educational to see the earlier participants take their turns. The high flying add on is more fun conceptually and to see others do than to experience personally as the wind tunnel gets turned up to 11 which is less fun for your face.

Expensive but where else can you "fly" in the bay area.

Rip Off!
For the money you spend, you may hardly get a couple of minutes.

We had a great time with our family. Everyone enjoyed it. It's not cheap but it it a great indoor activity for a rainy day. Our instructor Rei was super Good.

Awesome experience. Our instructor was amazing. The woman at the counter had an attitude and was kind of rude though. I would definitely go back as long as I didn't have to deal with her.

Top notch group experience!
I had a group of 12 VIPs fly in from Texas and these guys rolled out the red carpet. They helped me coordinate food and drinks from Buffalo Wild Wings and had it setup in their beautiful conference room. The entire staff was warm and inviting and seemed to genuinely want you to have a blast! I would highly recommend this for group and corporate events

Stellar customer service

I am in absolute awe. We had a glorious time from check-in to check-out. At the counter, Gus found all of our info and helped us out with all of our questions and requests. It was my birthday celebration and the team was very proactive about making my time extra special.

Once inside, we enjoyed the views for a short while before getting invited in to the flight school section. We had Austin as our instructor, and he was absolutely incredible. Fantastic with the kids, and most importantly very friendly and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to help us make the most of our package, and you could tell he really wanted to push us to the maximum of our abilities.

Overall I am deeply impressed. Gus, Austin, and the rest of the crew went above and beyond to make use feel special and respected. Highly recommend!

Juicy burgers and tasty French fries and soft drinks. Fast service

You wanna sky drive. This is the place to do it. They'll hook you up.

One great experience, if you love indoor sky diving this is the best place

I recently went to iFly for my first 'skydive'! Although I was a bit nervous before I entered the building, the staff did a good job at explaining how it worked. For the rest I have nothing else to say than that it was just great :) its a really weird feeling to be floating in the air a few meters (or feet if you like :p) above a net and that you can even control your movement by changing your posture. I am definitely going again!

Awesome experience and great staff. They took the time to explain and answer any question you had before getting started. We are doing it again

The experience was wonderful. Staff from front desk to the Manager was very friendly and professional. I was not sure about if they will allow my 2 mths old puppy to enter inside. Surprisingly, they were very understanding n friendly even with puppy. Though I was also careful n keptmy puppy in lap all the time n did not let her run around freely.
Will highly recommend for bday parties!

Loved it! Even my 4 year old brother loved it! The instructor did a superman pose while flying with him. 10/10
