Highlights
- 9540 Katy Fwy - Embark on an adventure at iFLY Houston Memorial by first suiting up and participating in a comprehensive training session led by a seasoned flight instructor.\n\nYou’ll be educated on the techniques to maintain stability in a powerful 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel, which provides a continuous air cushion similar to the conditions used by expert skydivers, all without the need for an actual skydive. The activity is accessible to nearly everyone, with no prior experience required.\n\nIn the flight chamber’s controlled environment, the tunnel operator gradually increases the airflow, lifting you and your instructor off the ground. Experience the thrill as you hover with wind speeds of 130 to 175 mph (209 to 282 kph). The consistent airflow across the entire tunnel ensures you remain suspended in the air stream, while your instructor remains by your side to assist you throughout.\n\nThe complete indoor skydiving journey lasts approximately 75 minutes from beginning to end. Groups may include up to six participants, yet you receive individual attention from your instructor during two 60-second flights in the wind tunnel.

Fantastic fun! - Fantastic experience! Tremendous fun for an old (65) out of shape geezer! Staff was great and my personal instructor, Zori, was absolutely wonderful. I will be taking my granddaughter in the near future!

Very Nice experience! - My experience at iFLY Houston was nothing short of exhilarating! The thrill of indoor skydiving was unlike anything I've ever experienced. The staff were friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. The facility was clean, well-maintained, and the instructors were incredibly skilled at guiding us through the exhilarating flight. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced skydiver, iFLY Houston is an absolute must-visit for an unforgettable adventure!

What a great time! - Took two of my great nephews to iFly - 12 and 14 years old. The boys had a blast! They each had 3 flying times, including the high fly. It was a great experience. The photos and video we purchased allowed me to share this experience with their parents. I highly recommend a trip to iFly.

Unexpected surprise - My family (2 adults two teenagers) did not expect to like this as much as we did, and we expected to really really like it. It wasn’t scary at all, and turned out to be a lifetime experience. We bought four more flights per person afterwards. Truly inspiring.

The experience was fun. ... - The experience was fun. Probably would have been better if the instructor handling the big guys was a bit more physically capable. She had a hard time steadying them because they were a bit overwhelming for her physically and they went down.

Would not recommend if you have high expectations - You need to aware that the flight is under 60sec. So do not expect to do anything fancy. The instructor are more interested in showing his skill than try letting you do anything else than stay at one place. Have to be more fun things to do in Houston

Scammers! - Disappointed with iFly Experience
I had high hopes for my visit to iFly, but unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. I paid extra for a high flight package that included photos and videos. While the indoor skydiving itself was fun, the service and follow-up left much to be desired.
Firstly, I never received the promised photos and videos. When I checked the iFly website, I found that I could see the media but was prompted to pay again to download them. This is incredibly frustrating and feels like a scam, considering I already paid for these services.
To make matters worse, when I reached out for help online, the support agent was completely unhelpful. They simply told me there was nothing they could do, leaving me with no resolution.
For the price I paid, I expected much better service and follow-through. I can't recommend iFly based on my experience, and I hope they improve their customer service and deliver what they promise in their packages.
