Experience the thrill of skydiving with this indoor adventure, offering two 50 to 60 second exhilarating flights inside a massive vertical wind tunnel.

Indoor Skydiving Experience Days: Feel the exhilaration of skydiving in a safe, controlled environment with this introductory indoor skydive experience, available at iFLY locations in Basingstoke, Manchester, and Milton Keynes. You’ll enjoy two adrenaline-packed 50 to 60 second flights in a vertical wind tunnel, perfectly simulating the sensation of free-fall.

Your adventure begins when you arrive at your chosen iFLY venue, where you'll check in and receive a full safety briefing. Afterward, you'll suit up in a flight suit, goggles, and helmet, and prepare to enter the wind tunnel. Watch fellow skydivers float effortlessly in the air as you await your turn. When it’s your time to fly, you'll step into the tunnel with the guidance of an expert instructor, who will coach you through hand signals and ensure you get the most from your flight. As the powerful wind lifts you off the ground and carries you to the top of the 20-foot tunnel, you'll experience the weightless thrill of skydiving. Over the course of two flights, you'll get the same free-fall sensation as you would during three tandem skydives. Once your indoor adventure is over, you'll be gently guided back to solid ground—grinning from ear to ear.

Perfect for thrill-seekers, this Indoor Skydiving Kick Start Experience makes for an unforgettable gift or a fun day out!

Indoor Skydiving Kick Start Special Reviews

Staff Review: Indoor Skydiving

12278863_10153385619537572_8945044438510245760_n

On Friday 27th November the team and I hit the road and headed up to Milton Keynes for an indoor skydiving experience.
With it all being our first time flying, the journey consisted of us discussing funny stories of what could happen, and watching previous blooper videos. Definitely not the best way to calm our nerves, but an excellent way to pass the hours of stand still traffic on the M5.

Once we arrived at the centre and had all tied our hair into plaits, we met our lovely instructor Glenn, who instantly put us at ease. After we had filled in all the vital documents, we were invited to watch a safety briefing video, before getting kitted up and moving onto the fun stuff!

Now styling very fashionable attire of blue and red overalls, bright yellow helmet, ear plugs and large safety goggles, we were ready to fly…

As we made our way over to the wind tunnel to wait our turn, we caught a glimpse of what we were about to experience. The instructor and flyer were chasing each other round the tunnel in what we can only assume was a game of tag, either that or they’d totally lost control! Whatever they were doing, it looked immeasurably enjoyable.

Once their session had finished we swapped over, making our way into the glass tunnel and taking our seats in order around the screen. Luckily I wasn’t last in which meant I wasn’t going to be skydiving first!

By now the excitement was starting to mix with the nerves as we took our seats around the tunnel…

We were scheduled to have two flights, each consisting of one minute. A minute doesn’t sound particularly long but having now tried indoor skydiving and finding it to be quite a strenuous activity, I would say that it is the perfect amount of time. (And turns out that’s as much free-fall as three tandem skydives!)

funny skydive

First up to fly was Evie. As she stepped into the tunnel she was instantly lifted by the power of the winds, and she was flying! She made it look easy. On our first round we did some basic flying as we got used to the feeling and technique of how to hold our bodies. Those that had a slightly better knack to it were able to venture up higher, whilst the instructor supervised below.

Next up was Cat who also made it look effortless – if they could both do it I definitely could! Or so I thought up until I got into the tunnel, and was hit by the 120mph winds. It’s as if as soon as I got in the tunnel I completely forgot about keeping my body relaxed and my legs straight and I was all over the place, my legs flailing up and down – it’s fair to say I wasn’t the most graceful. It was a good job we got a second flight so I was able to redeem myself.

By my second turn I was feeling far more relaxed, especially after watching everyone else and observing the (correct) technique. On our second goes once we had mastered basic flying with the assistance of Glenn, we got to have a go at flying all the way to the top of the 20ft tunnel. Glenn began by slowly spinning us round gradually picking up the pace before we both blasted up to the top and back down again! The feeling was absolutely fantastic, as it made you feel so light and free, whilst enabling you to experience the real sensation of free fall flying. Something I would definitely recommend.

flyingcollage2Once we had all experienced the thrill of flying, we of course needed an obligatory team photo, to document the moment! Really we should have taken this before we all went skydiving and had that wind swept look, but we managed to style it out!

We each received a certificate from Glenn showing which flying skills we had mastered, as well as a downloadable photo and DVD documenting the whole experience – this provided excellent entertainment as my first flight was definitely You’ve Been Framed worthy!

iFLY Indoor Skydiving Experience Days Partner Interview with Nick Wakes

iFLY Indoor Skydiving Experience Days UK: A Staff Interview with Nick Wake


Welcome to the world of iFLY indoor skydiving! With locations in Manchester, Milton Keynes, Basingstoke and O2 Arena London, iFLY brings the excitement of skydiving to the heart of the UK. If you've ever dreamed of flying without the need for a plane or jumping from thousands of feet in the air, then indoor skydiving is the perfect adventure for you.

At iFLY , cutting-edge technology and expert instructors combine to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a seasoned skydiver or a first-time flyer, iFLY offers a safe and thrilling environment for all ages and skill levels.

But what exactly is indoor skydiving? It's a simulation of the freefall portion of a skydive, where participants float on a cushion of air generated by powerful fans. This controlled environment allows you to experience the sensation of flying, without the need for parachutes or airplanes. 

Get ready to discover why indoor skydiving at iFLY is a must-try adventure for thrill-seekers across the UK; and to help us understand a little bit more, we spoke to Marketing Director Nick Wake who has kindly taken the time to answer some of our all-important questions. With famous faces, world records and a brief history – this is definitely one to read!



Q. Where did the idea for Indoor Skydiving come from?

A. Simon Ward founded the UK business in the 2005. A couple of years prior to that he was walking off the drop zone, after his 19th jump of the weekend, when another jumper landed into him at high speed. The impact left him with a broken neck and nerve damage. He got a bit of time to think – 22 months in fact, while he recovered and during that time he thought about indoor skydiving. The first tunnel opened in Milton Keynes, branded as Airkix. There are now four tunnels in the UK, including Manchester, Basingstoke and now London's O2 Arena which since October 2016 have been operating under the iFLY brand.

Q. What makes iFLY Indoor Skydiving the most unique experience day on the market?

A. The experience of flying indoor is totally unique! There is nothing else quite like it. What’s more it not just a thrill ride. It’s a sport, which the more you do it, the better you get.

Q. What is the one thing you would want to tell Experience Days customers about iFLY ?

A. It’s very safe.

Q. Has anyone famous ever come along for an indoor skydive?

A. Over the last eleven years all three tunnels have played host to several events ranging from exciting to unusual including: The Rugby World Cup trophy, a dog flight and numerous wedding proposals. iFLY has also attempted (and conquered) its fair share of world records in its time including solving a Rubix Cube in the wind tunnel (3 minutes, 16 seconds), longest kiss in freefall (31 minutes, 4 seconds) and the first ever ‘longest indoor freefall’ by legendary adventurer, Bear Grylls, together with UK champion Skydiver, Al Hodgson and iFLY instructor Freddy Macdonald. Celebrities love to fly. Shortly before signing for LA Galaxy, David Beckham hired iFLY Milton Keynes exclusively for his family and friends as a New Year treat. Other celebrity visitors also include: England football captain Wayne Rooney, radio DJ Joe Wiley, Take That singer Mark Owen, rapper Dizzee Rascal, glamour model Katie Price, model Elle Macpherson and Motorcycle racer and TV personality Guy Martin who filmed at iFLY Manchester during his TV documentary series, ‘Speed’!



Q. What is the best thing about indoor skydiving?

A. Pretty much anyone can do it. One of our proudest achievements is our capacity for flying people with physical or mental disabilities. We get involved in lots of charity initiatives and are a great supporter of the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen’s Association (BLESMA).

Q. Do you have any plans expansion plans for the future of iFLY ?

A. Yes. Our mission is to deliver the dream of flight to everyone so iFLY tunnels are popping up all over the world. As for the UK….watch this space!

Q. Is there anything you'd like to discuss that we haven't mentioned?

A. Our instructors like to think of themselves as the rock stars of the business and as far as our customers are concerned…they are! What many people don’t realise is that it takes many hours of training and great physical fitness to make it as an instructor. Those that do, get to live their dream of flight every day.



iFLY indoor skydiving offers a unique and thrilling experience that combines cutting-edge technology with expert instruction, ensuring a safe and unforgettable adventure for all. From its origins inspired by a skydiving accident to hosting world records and celebrity visitors, iFLY continues to expand globally while maintaining a commitment to inclusivity and supporting charitable initiatives. Whether you're a seasoned flyer or trying it for the first time, iFLY invites everyone to discover the joy of flight. We would like to thank Nick for taking the time to answer our questions and look forward to welcoming more Experience Days customers to iFLY in the future!
