Indoor skydiving near Minneapolis

Indoor skydiving at iFLY Minneapolis

The iFLY Minneapolis center, located in Minnetonka inside the Ridgedale Center mall, is the leading destination for indoor skydiving in Minnesota. This state-of-the-art wind tunnel allows anyone to experience the sensations of a skydive without an airplane or parachute. Inside the vertical tunnel, a powerful airflow recreates the feeling of freefall from more than 11,000 feet. Guided by professional instructors, each participant learns to stabilize their body and fly in the wind for an experience that is both intense and safe.

The flight process

Before your flight, you take part in a short safety training session led by a certified instructor. This briefing explains the correct body position, hand signals used during flight, and essential safety guidelines. You then put on the provided flight suit, helmet, and protective goggles. Then comes the big moment: you enter the wind tunnel with your instructor. In just a few seconds, you feel the power of the wind and begin to float freely inside the chamber, suspended as if in the open sky. Each session includes two one-minute flights — the equivalent of several real skydives.

An indoor skydiving experience for everyone

Indoor skydiving in Minneapolis is open to everyone ages 3 and up, with no particular physical requirements. Instructors adapt to each participant’s age and level to ensure comfort and safety. Whether with family, friends, or as a couple, this aerial activity offers a memorable and accessible experience. You can also add an optional GoPro video package on site to capture your flight and take home a keepsake of your adventure.

A safe alternative to traditional skydiving

iFLY Minneapolis lets you experience the sensations of skydiving safely, in a controlled environment. There’s no need to wait for perfect weather or board an airplane — here, the wind is constant, the temperature comfortable, and the fun immediate. Indoor wind tunnels are also used by professional skydivers for training, proof of their realism. At the end of your session, you’ll receive a commemorative flight certificate — a symbol of your first true freefall experience.
