NYC Is Getting Its First-Ever Indoor Skydiving Space, & It’s The Perfect Summer Activity For Thrill-Seekers Of All Ages

If jumping out of a plane at 14,000 feet seems a *tad* too extreme, iFly Queens will give you the same rush in a much safer environment. The 25-year-old indoor skydiving company is finally setting up shop in NYC with a **Long Island City** location opening this **July**. Name something cooler on your **summer bucket list**— we’ll wait. All about iFly Queens --------------------- So what exactly is indoor skydiving? Attendees who are interested in flying won’t take a plunge — instead a wind tunnel will send them soaring and give them the sensation of flying. (No planes required!) Just how extreme is it? It’s entirely up to you. iFLY encourages those ages 3 to 103 to give it a try, and your comfort level and abilities are taken into consideration when you’re entering the tunnel. But as you might’ve imagined, anything with the word “skydiving” in it requires a little extra TLC. Certified instructors will dish out the necessary rules and regulations to all attendees looking to fly. Additionally, a pro will be in the tunnel helping you adjust to the experience. While it’s definitely easy to go out for a run or hit the gym, this is certainly a more extreme way to get your fitness on, right? **Packages**start at $179 per flyer, and options are available for large groups and birthday parties, if you are looking for a unique way to start your next trip around the sun. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Friday, July 18th while a family community day will follow on the 19th at 11am. In addition to watching demonstrations, there will be fun activities like STEAM projects, balloon twisting, a face painter, and an ice cream bar. (Fair warning: you might want to fly before snagging a scoop!)
