So, shake off those pre-jump jitters and cross skydiving off your bucket list!

iFly Oakville
iFly is an indoor skydiving simulation facility that is perfect for beginners who are a little uncertain about diving from great heights. This experience is more affordable and less unnerving than a traditional outdoor skydiving experience and helps you get comfortable with the feeling of free-fall.
This is also a great option for kids who are too young to dive from a plane – kids as young as four years old are welcome to experience zero gravity. iFly even offers Bodyflight classes to learn about the athleticism behind indoor freefall.
iFly also operates a second location in Whitby, east of Toronto.
