iFLY San Diego Mission Valley Overview


San Diego is known for its scenic beaches, world-class attractions, and adventurous activities. However, if you're searching for a unique and thrilling experience, look no further than iFLY San Diego Mission Valley– the only indoor skydiving destination in San Diego. Indoor skydiving is gaining popularity in recent years, and iFLY San Diego has become an essential part of the skydiving community in California, offering a safe and exciting experience for people of all ages.

History of iFLY San Diego Mission Valley

iFLY San Diego Mission Valley opened its doors in February 2016 just north of the I-8, east of the Mission Valley shopping center becoming part of iFLY's network of indoor skydiving centers spread across Asia, Europe, and North America. The facility features a Generation 7, 14-foot (4.3 m) recirculating wind tunnel manufactured by iFLY Tunnel Systems, formerly SkyVenture.

After Airborne San Diego closed in August 2017, iFLY San Diego became the only wind tunnel in the city proper, and the only place to go indoor skydiving in San Diego. Airborne was a one-of-a-kind tunnel complex, housing dual 14-foot flight chambers in a facility over 21,000 square feet in area, but closed after the venture went bankrupt. It was the first modern wind tunnel in the United States that was not a SkyVenture facility.

There is, however, another iFLY location only 35 miles to the north. This tunnel, formerly known as iFLY Oceanside, was recently rebranded as iFLY San Diego Oceanside (despite not technically being located in San Diego at all).

Ifly San Diego Mission Valley 5/5 Stars

I LOVE IFLY -
This is an alternative to jumping out of an airplane.
If you don't like manufactured thrills this is not for you!

I LOVE the feeling of flying which is why I go to the ifly wind tunnels! I do this to experience what it feels like to be weightless and flying without a harness of some sort. If you are NOT the kind of person who would enjoy the FEELING of surfing waves, riding in a fast boat, sailing, zip lining, riding on a roller coaster than this is probably not for you. Know your limits and don't expect others to be fully responsible for your body!

Flying is about you and your body in a weightless environment that is windy. If you have been paying attention you will know that you are 75% in charge of what is happening. The flight coach is there to keep you safe. Watch before you try it and then decide if you are able to manage the process.

Ifly San Diego Mission Valley 2/5 Stars

My last visit to IFLY in Mission Valley in San Diego disappointed me because I felt insecure and unsafe during the flight, like a falling plane. I already had experience with IFLY and knew how to feel secure while "really good" high-fly.

On 08/26/2023, during my high flight, my body was bending because the coach and I were at different levels of moving, and he was flying below my level and pulled my body to the inside of the circle. Relying on that fact, my body was not straight, but an arc and created centrifuge force. That situation was frightening for me. I think it happened because the airflow capacity was different in the tube. I am an engineer and can realize it. I have the photos to prove my situation during fly. There is one weird thing more - the crew did not put a video record of my high fly on the site. Why?
I talked with the manager about my dissatisfaction with the flight. However, he said that it was an ordinary situation, nothing bad.
My opinion is the opposite.
