What is a wind tunnel?
SkyVenture is a vertical wind tunnel with fans located at the top to draw the air upwards through the flight chamber. You will experience a controlled environment providing you with just the right amount of air flow for the utmost flight enjoyment.
What is bodyflight?
Indoor bodyflight is the development of a skill, allowing you to fly your body in a controlled manner in a wind tunnel. SkyVenture wind tunnels are the perfect environment for the quickest development of this skill due to the professional instruction and quality of the airflow.
Is it safe?
SkyVenture’s unique design, with its wall to wall air column and professionally trained instructors, allows flyers to safely enjoy their flight session. Your flight instructor is with you through your entire flight experience.
Is it scary?
SkyVenture is not scary; there is no jumping, no falling and there is no experience needed, you are simply floating on a column of air. There is no sensation of falling or anything that would make you feel sick from motion sickness.

Do I need to make a reservation?
SkyVenture suggests that you make a flight reservation in advance. Sessions sell out quickly due to increasing popularity of bodyflight.
What is included with my flight?
SkyVenture offers various packages, but each one includes your training session, use of all the flight gear, your flight time in the tunnel, hands on personal assistance from your instructor and a flight certificate.
Can I fly with my friends or family members?
SkyVenture flies several people in each class; actual class size varies on the type of flight package purchased. Your friends and family will be part of the same group, however, you will fly one at a time in the flight chamber with your instructor. Once you have gained more flight experience you will be able to fly with others of the same skill level in the tunnel. If someone chooses just to watch, they are welcome to accompany you through your experience and can watch from the complimentary observation area.
Can I do tricks and flips in the tunnel?
SkyVenture’s first concern is for your safety in the flight chamber, therefore, the tricks or flips are done by experienced flyers only. Some flyers are able to do turns, move up and down and front to back during their first flight. Be sure to ask your instructor how to advance your flight skills. Once you develop your flight skills tunnel flying is an exciting sport.
What should I wear for my flight?
It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing, such as t-shirt, shorts/pants, and tennis shoes. Those with long hair are also recommended to bring a hair tie to keep your hair inside your helmet.
