iFLY---indoor sky diving on land and at sea

Back in March during our cruise on Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas, I posted a video of my daughter on Facebook experiencing a super cool attraction called iFLY.  It's a sky diving simulator located at the back of the ship where guests can soar inside a tall, enclosed "tube" while looking out into the ocean.  Many of you wanted to know more about this unique activity and where else to find it.  Here's some good news--you don't have to take a cruise to do this!

iFLY is a land based company out of Austin, Texas with 37 locations across the globe. My central Pennsylvania friends will be happy to know there will be an iFLY opening in the King of Prussia area on April 19th!  According to the iFLY website, the indoor sky diving facility is located at 290 Goddard Blvd. We will definitely be checking it out in the future.

The cruise ship version is incredibly popular and slots fill up quickly. While I played "photographer," my husband and two daughters suited up for this fun experience, which was included in the cost of the cruise. My husband was the first to "fly" from his group. There was an instructor by his side and communication is done through hand signals,which you learn ahead of time during a brief training session.

Our daughters had a blast too and it's so much fun to watch.

The iFLY website tells you everything you'd want to know about the experience, from who can fly to what indoor skydiving is and how it works. So if you've ever wanted to fly, here's your chance! Enjoy your flight!
