Chicagoland Skydiving Center — Local services in Flagg Township

I went for my VERY FIRST skydive & first time to CSC with a good friend (also his first time). We had an absolute AMAZING time and ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience ! You can only go your first time once! These people collectively made my experience unforgettable.

(Going to mention both groups people since he doesn’t have an account to leave a review)

BROOKES JUMP: I jumped with Stephen (amazing!) and he was absolutely incredible! Very experienced and talented. Informative and very helpful and SUPER SAFE! I felt that trust instantly and man, I felt so free and so happy. I will absolutely be coming back to get my license - something today changed in me when I jumped today. Thank you all for the absolutely incredible opportunity to jump with you. My videographer was Schultzy and he truly made my experience that much more amazing. We did so many cool tricks, and I truly felt like both of them went all out for me! If I can personally request these two again I absolutely will! Thank you for awakening something I didn’t know lived in my soul! SKYDIVING!! I’ll be back soon ;) & I didn’t even break my very long acrylics - A+!!! 100/10! If I could jump again today; totally would.

KENNY’S JUMP: He jumped tandem with Patrick and had Lauren as his videographer! He was a little more nervous than I was; but Patrick did an amazing job making him feel more comfortable. His jump was a little more tame but that’s exactly what he wanted. I felt like they perfectly tailored each experience to the person jumping and their comfort zone and that is absolutely amazing. He was wanting to go since he had met them prior in Utah. So we came down to skydive! We made the trip from Stl to come here!! Patrick was amazing and made him feel way more confident than he originally felt. They were so friendly and informative and made this experience amazing and he really loved the coasting down. I can’t say Kenny will be back to get his license, but he said it was something he will never forget and was on his bucket list for sure! Thanks again CSC - And especially Stephen, Patrick, Schultzy, and Lauren for...

I made my first tandem skydive at CSC at their old facilities in Hinckley, IL. I was 18 and just wanted to do something crazy. I had a great time on that first skydive and the experience stuck with me, but it took me another 12 years to come back and try it again.

By that time, CSC had moved to their new location in Rochelle, IL. When I arrived the first time, I was immediately struck by how nice this establishment was. The new CSC was a HUGE, brand new hangar with classrooms, a gear store, shower facilities, bunk rooms an RV park and even a bar/restaurant that catered to the general public as well as the skydivers. I was blown away.

I decided to go through the training program at CSC and become a licensed skydiver. Every aspect of this drop zone, from the highly experienced and friendly staff to the well-maintained turbine aircraft and the excellent equipment, put me at ease… well, as much as I could be put at ease, because I was a very nervous student!

Despite my nerves, I managed to get my license within a few months and I then found myself as the newest member of a family of skydivers who welcomed me and made me feel right at home.

I bought my own equipment and immediately took advantage of the ProPass, a one-time payment that allowed me to make as many skydives as I could from April to November. I learned so much in such a short time by jumping with a great group of staff and experienced skydivers. Jump, Pack, Repeat… every weekend and whenever I could sneak away from work or school to make some jumps.

I wholeheartedly recommend this drop zone to anyone who is looking to make their first skydive or their 1,000th. You will become a part of a close-knit group of jumpers and take your skills to the next level. And the Pro Pass is one of the best ways I have found to maximize your bang for the buck. I often bring friends and family out to make their first skydives and they have all agreed that CSC is an amazing place to skydive or just to hang out and...

Unforgettable Experience at Chicagoland Skydiving Center

Our visit to Chicagoland Skydiving Center was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were met with an incredible level of hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care that made our time there truly unforgettable.

Emily, Bart, and the owner Doug went above and beyond to make our experience special. They welcomed my 3-year-old son with open arms, giving him the opportunity of a lifetime—he was able to go inside the planes, see the skydivers up close, and take in all the excitement from a front-row seat. Watching his face light up with joy and wonder was something I’ll never forget.

Their customer service is top-tier. Every interaction was thoughtful, intentional, and kind. It’s clear that they operate with a spirit of excellence in everything they do—from the safety protocols to the way they treat guests like family. The entire facility is clean, professional, and full of good energy. The restaurant next door was also a great touch, adding to the overall experience and making it a perfect day out for the family.

Doug’s leadership and the team’s passion for what they do is evident in every detail. This isn’t just a business—it’s a community, and they make you feel like you’re a part of it.

We are incredibly grateful for the memorable day they gave us and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for more than just a thrill—if you want a meaningful, fun, and family-friendly experience—Chicagoland Skydiving Center is the...
