iFLY Indoor Skydiving - King of Prussia — Attraction in Upper Merion Township

As a kid, I always thought it would be so cool to fly, well, it only took me 46 years to finally do it. What a totally awesome experience! First off... the place is still in the final stages of construction at this time, just minor trim details. To look at it from the outside, you might not know that they are open from the construction equipment around, but they are and totally operational! (This is a great time to go because they are not busy.) I stopped in yesterday to take a look and was floored at what I saw. Instructors, who have hundreds, if not thousands of hours of experience, are doing demonstrations with flips, dives, and things I can't even explain with effortless ease. I'll have to admit, I was sucked in immediately. Maybe that's part of it? Show you things that are possible, but you aren't going to even come close to doing as a beginner. The stunt work may also intimidate someone who is not sure about whether or not they want to try it, and scare them off. I stayed for maybe an hour and watched and listened to the different people. The staff were really helpful with answering questions and I could easily see that they are all really passionate about what they do. After thinking about it long enough, I came in today and signed up. The one drawback, (which is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5) is the cost, at least for me it is. There are different packages to choose from to suit your needs. I started off with the cheapest beginner package, approximately $80 which includes your training and 2 minutes of flight time. That's right, eighty dollars for two minutes. With a sign on the tube as you come out that says "Fly again only $20"... yeah, I did it. How could I not? It was so much fun! But the cost does go down after your first flight. Like i said before, they have different packages for return trips. Watching and listening before, really paid off. I had a good idea of what to expect and do, so when I went in (with an instructor, mine was Chad, a really cool guy who was really excited to help me out and help me succeed) I took to it pretty easily. In two minutes I learned how to stabilize myself, go forward, go backwards, and turn around! It was amazing! The average height of flight for a beginner is about 3-6 feet off the floor, not the 50 feet i was watching before. At one point, I was doing everything right and I started to really go up! At which point he had to grab me and pull me back down. If I make a beginner mistake up there, I'm coming down... quick. I was hooked! And it's not just for the young either. While I was there, a couple came in who were in their 70's, and they had a great time. It is an absolutely great time! It's a bit pricey, (plan to spend $100), but in my opinion, totally worth the experience I've been waiting for for over 40 years. I'm definitely coming back, with...

My friends took me to ifly today and it seriously was the best birthday gift ever! This place is so fun! They have indoor sky diving down to a science! My friends purchased a group package online! It included 2 flys each and photos & videos. A couple of us added on the high fly! Totally worth it! Everyone will fill out online forms and waivers prior to arrival! Each person is also sent a preflight video to watch to learn hand signals. This information is reviewed several times once onsite as well!

Upon arrival we checked everything out! So many fun photo opportunities including angel wings and a step & repeat! We loved to taking photos there and the staff was so accommodating about leaving time before and after for photos!

Once you arrive everyone gets weighed individually but their weight is concealed for privacy! There are set weight limits so check to see if you are within the range. There are no exceptions! Once you get your wrist band you move on to get your fly suit and helmet. I used the helmet with the face covering and I highly recommend this option! This avoided the wind hitting me directly in the face and made allowed me to focus on the experience mates of just the wind!

There were about 10 of us in our class. Each person got to fly twice! We rooted and cheered for everyone as they went up and out of the tube! Watching people you care about experience this up close was really such a fun experience! Being together doing this crazy thing was so fun!

Our instructor Sam was amazing! Honestly all of the employees were so kind and willing to do whatever they could to make this a memorable experience including flashing me a happy birthday message while I was in the tunnel flying! Sam made us all feel comfortable and she was so good at what she does! At the end of everyone's flights she did an amazing show of her skills in the tunnel! She's got some serious talent and she and the rest of the crew really love what they do! Their enthusiasm is contagious and really added so much value to the experience!

My only constructive feedback is that it would have been cool to have a camera in the tunnel to capture the high fly. You really go off screen alone you start getting higher. It also would have been cool to have someone video from outside of the tunnel so bring friends to watch and record!

One last suggestion...bring cash to tip your instructor! I was glad I had cash on me! You can not add this to your credit card payment and they do not have cash to break bills.

I can not recommend this experience enough! This was something that all of us will remember for a very long time! Thank you iFly for making this experience something so...

If I could give zero stars, I would have.

We won a four flight voucher at a school fundraiser as part of a Yes Day basket for a family of four to use and had made the appointment online for all four of us to go and redeemed the four flight voucher. I did the waivers for all of us online, paid extra for the high flight for all four of us, and then when we got there, we were told by staff and the manager that the four flight voucher was for one person only. He said he couldn’t split the four flights in any way, so we ended up having to pay an additional $80 and that was just so that our boys could fly (my wife and I would have to watch or pay more). We ended up paying just for the boys to fly, so the experience ended up costing us $160 between the two flights for the boys and the extra cost for the high flight add on. The flights themselves were a minute each.

Our dog passed away unexpectedly two days ago and we drove over an hour to King of Prussia to try and give them a nice day of slime (the other part of the package) and then family skydiving to take their (and our) mind off the sadness we experienced the last few days. The whole experience ended up being extremely frustrating. I feel like they should have made it clear when they donated that the four flights were only for one person and that they couldn’t be split for four people to each fly. We even let them know about our dog passing and asked if they could please understand and they wouldn’t budge. Would not recommend. Awful customer service. Fail.

As a follow up to this, after reaching out to corporate via messenger, the on site manager came out and provided us with a 10 flight voucher that can be shared among our four family members to be used for a future date. Jared at KOP and Evan in corporate office, we...
