Spread your Wings at iFLY SF Bay

Imagine the adrenaline rush of being suspended off the ground, outstretched like Superman at speeds of more than 120 miles an hour. Truly adventurous spirits would jump at the challenge, while many others only dream of experiencing such a thrill, citing safety concerns or a fear of heights as reasons not to take the plunge. But San Francisco’s iFLY indoor flight center satisfies both the fearless and the more reserved.

Thrill-seekers aged 3 to 103 head to iFLY for an exhilarating, yet completely safe indoor flight experience. Using technology originally developed by the U.S. Military for freefall training, iFLY has created an innovative flight system that is fun for the whole family. Perfectly suited for beginners to the extreme scene or those apprehensive about skydiving, iFLY is a risk-free way to enjoy adventure sports. Packages include complete pre-flight training with an instructional video in addition to a question and answer session, plus all essential flight safety equipment –a flight suit, helmet, and goggles to make guests feel safe and secure. Upon completing two introductory flights at iFLY, the equivalent of three tandem skydives, guests will earn their wings in the form of an official certificate. Souvenir DVDs are also available as keepsakes or documentation of a new experience or conquered fear.

Safe, Fun, and Family-Friendly Flight Simulation

New flyers of all ages plus parents or guardians will feel secure knowing that a trained professional is always right alongside, offering support, encouragement and guidance. Additionally, seasoned pros and daredevils will appreciate the instructors for offering challenging suggestions for new tips and tricks like flips to make flights more enjoyable.

Also, common risks associated with skydiving include fear of airplanes, heights, and parachutes, but flights in iFLY’s vertical wind tunnels keep flyers suspended just a few feet on the ground. High-speed winds of more than 120 miles per hour contribute to a freefall feeling, but the flight chamber is lined with elastic mesh at the bottom so there is almost no risk of injury in case of impact.

Out-of-the-Box Bonding Challenges

Offering challenging flights for both first-timers and experienced flyers, iFLY also boasts packages suited for corporate team-building and educational field trips. Executive groups can take advantage of the opportunity to create camaraderie through the shared experience of trying something new, and with iFLY’s on-site meeting facilities, catering options, and exclusive flight packages, business groups can simply show up at iFLY with every detail taken care of. Birthday parties at iFLY are a fresh alternative to typical choices like a picnic or dinner outing, and discounted rates are available for groups of 10 or more.

Additionally, students from elementary school to college age as well as members of summer school classes, science camps, student day trips, science clubs can enjoy learning about the physics of flight through educational packages at iFLY. Students first sit for a quick lecture, then tour the facilities and conduct a few experiments in velocity before experiencing the rush of a freefall flight experience firsthand.

Centrally located in the San Francisco Bay Area, iFLY in Union City is just off of Highway 280, easily accessible from San Francisco, San Jose, and the Peninsula. First-timers seeking a new thrill, experienced skydivers wanting more experience, or groups wishing to forge new bonds will appreciate iFLY SF Bay’s range of packages that allow anyone to take flight.
