iFLY Indoor Skydiving Charlotte

iFLY Charlotte is the indoor skydiving wind tunnel on Lyles Lane in Concord, near Concord Mills and Charlotte Motor Speedway. A vertical column of air recreates freefall without an airplane. First timers get instruction and fly alongside a trained instructor inside the chamber, and children as young as five can fly. Book ahead and arrive early, because the check in and briefing take longer than the flying does. The thrill itself is genuinely unlike anything else nearby.

What to know

• The experience runs about 90 minutes for two short flights.
• Manage expectations on actual air time.
• Staff will pitch add ons, so decide in advance.
• Instructors draw consistent praise for patience with nervous first timers.
