What Wilmington Flyers Are Saying

Melissa Matthews

Rob was fantastic from start to finish. We had 4 in our party and his brand of infomercial and education was on target and light hearted/funny. I brought my daughter to celebrate her 14th Birthday 🎂. She had a blast and she was even willing to do the high flight with Rob. I was truly interested in making a memory that we would never forget and my sister and I ended up gifting another session to my Sister who live in TN with her kiddos! Hoping they enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks again Rob you were great!!! Hope we weren't too much trouble for ya...lol. Highly recommend, just do it!

I’ve wanted to do this for decades and finally did. Let’s just say we bought more sessions for the future. Brian was a great instructor. We had a blast!

We visited iFLY Wilmington on Sunday and had an absolutely wonderful time! The indoor skydiving experience was exciting, memorable, and something we would highly recommend to families looking for a fun activity. Our instructor, Grant, was fantastic! He did an excellent job working with the kids, making them feel comfortable, and clearly explaining all the safety procedures before we got started. His professionalism, patience, and ability to make the experience both safe and enjoyable really made a difference. We truly appreciate the great service and the effort Grant put into making sure everyone had a great time. If you’re considering trying indoor skydiving, we highly recommend iFLY Wilmington. We had a five-star experience and would absolutely come back again!
