This has been on my bucket list, and it was WAY more fun then expected! Those first couple of seconds of the drop was one of the biggest adrenaline rushes I have ever had. Wow, I felt very alive! The place: Everything about Skydive Chicago is professional. From the moment you get there it is clear were to go and what to do. The staff: The staff is super helpful and comforting. They were so professional in setting expectations. I specifically liked that they checked my gear at least 4 times. Chad (my tandem guy) was awesome! The equipment: Again, everything was well maintained and professional. I never had any apprehension about a single thing. Overall, if you are thinking about checking the skydive box, this is the place to go! If you found this review helpful please like it.

Literally a life changing experience. Ginger was an fantastic instructor, she spoke very clearly over the noise of the plane and made sure I understood all of the instructions. Ron took absolutely incredible pictures and videos. It’s been 3 days since I jumped and I’m still talking about it and showing everyone photos and the videos. 5/5 for sure

I highly recommend Skydive Chicago to everyone who has this on their bucket list. Everything was smooth and hassle free starting from the booking right upto the jump. My tandem instructor and videographer was excellent and made sure I had the best experience in every possible way along with many amazing photos and videos. A team of professional jumpers went up with us and before they jumped they did a fist bump with me along with their fellow jumpers to make me feel a part of the team which was an amazing gesture. They have given me memories I can cherish forever. Thank You Skydive Chicago. Will be back for my next jump.

Best day of my life. I was so unbelievably scared to be jumping out of a plane but my amazing tandem instructor, Silvio, helped every step of the way. The crew at Skydive Chicago genuinely makes the experience of Skydiving 10x better. Also, their pictures/videos that they create for each jumper exceeded my expectations (see photos below). Once again Silvio and the man who filmed (in one of the photos) deserve a raise or something, such amazing dudes.

I can't even put into words how awesome this was! Phenomenal experience! There's nothing like stepping up to an open door of an airplane at 14,000ft and falling out, talk about a rush!! My tandem instructor, Baxter, was extremely helpful, great to work with, and put my mind at ease regarding what we were about to do.Shout out to the videographer for making this so amazing and capturing some GREAT shots!

First time jumper and immediately lifetime future fan! Skydive Chicago, is a great place if your looking for a great experience! The facility has tons to offer, and very well kept up! Quick, easy and informative check in. Food, games and things to do while you wait for the jump. My instructor, awesome! Great energy, extremely helpful in going over the procedure and making sure we were on the same page! Silvio! You are best my brotha, I am definitely doing this again and I will looking forward to my next tandem jump and furthering myself to solo dives! But when I do, I'll be sure to to ask for you Silvio, can't wait to strap in with you soon! One love🤙

What a great time, I've spent most of my life wanting to do this. On my birthday I got to jump with my family. Ginger was awesome, she made me laugh and feel calm and I look forward to the next adventure. Next time with laced shoes. The videos and photos were great, Thanks Ron. Skydive Chicago is a very nice facility and the staff was great especially Ginger & Ron. Thank you.

It was an amazing experience, and a good view here. My instructor Ginger and videographer Kacey were the best! Ginger took good care of me and she was funny, so it made me comfortable to jump with her. The video and the photos were perfect in how they captured me enjoying the skydive and flying. Thank you so much Ginger and Kacey! The facilities are also very cool, and the pizza from the cafe was so good too. I would love to jump at Skydive Chicago again!

Checked one off my bucket list on 7/22/23. 1st time jumper. Came with my daughter. I will definitely be back. The staff made me feel comfortable from the moment we walked it. Baxter was my instructor he was simply AMAZING. He helped calm my nerves and made it a dream of a lifetime. Do be prepared to wait tho on a busy day. We did have to wait 4 hours. But it was worth it as the sun was just starting to set. Finished the night over at the Tiki Bar for a cold one.

My daughter and I jumped yesterday for her 19th birthday. It was the first time for both of us. We had a fantastic time. Everything was well organized, and easy to follow. My instructor, Chad, was fun to be with and professional. He explained things well and made sure I was following the procedures. There's a moment of anxious anticipation as we sit in the doorway of the plane. And then we're free falling! The rush of free fall and then the peace after the canopy deploys is an experience like none other. It was a great time!

I got to experience my first jump yesterday for my birthday gift & I couldn’t be anymore thankful for this outstanding occasion! I loved every minute of it! I’ll definitely be back to jump again! Me & my sisters experience was one to remember for a lifetime! The whole crew we got to jump with was very energetic and friendly. My backpack (Jumper) was Baxter! He is a super chill, witty dude. He made sure to ask questions to see where my head was at in my experience, all the way down to checking in continuously to see how I was feeling. Baxter was very thorough with all the instructions and letting me know all the exact movements he was doing to ensure our safety which I loved. Also, Thank you to Our photographer who was Silvio! He got some good pictures of my experience! Silvio is a great person to jump with as well!

Yesterday was one of the best experiences of my life by far. The anticipation of skydiving is much worst than actually doing it. Everyone at Skydive Chicago was incredibly professional and made the entire process very easy. My instructor Matt did a great job in assisting me with everything associated with my tandem jump. I will be back for more jumps for sure. I highly recommend this place if you are considering skydiving in Chicago.

My husband and I went to Skydive Chicago for our anniversary. We were very comfortable with the whole process and our instructors were great! I had Baxter jumping with me and he had Silvio. My husband got over his fear of heights and couldn’t say enough positive things about his instructor and the entire experience. My instructor was very knowledgeable, skilled and a lot of fun to jump with. The video and pictures were great and a great reminder of our first jump. I didn’t have to be afraid to jump because I knew we were in good hands and our safety was top priority. We already scheduled our next jump. Thank you Sky Dive Chicago for a great day and we will see you again!

Checked this one off my bucket list! We went on a Friday afternoon, and the wait time was only 20 minutes - a lot faster than we were expecting! Ryan was an awesome tandem instructor. He was so professional and made me feel at ease. That first jump out of the plane was indescribable. Pictures don't do it justice, but my videographer Matt came pretty close! Ryan even let me do green, yellow, and red zone turns on the way down. The weather was beautiful, the landing was smooth, and we even watched from above as the plane we just jumped out of landed on the runway. The whole experience was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to bring others to experience this with me next time! Thank you for giving me this experience of a lifetime, Ryan and Matt!

Silvio was absolutely amazing!! Was very good at explaining and demonstrating every step there is to skydive. I was very nervous going into it but Silvio calmed my nerves right away by making me feel safe through the whole process. I would definitely go back just because of him. I would also like to mention Daniel W. He was my photographer/videographer and he was absolutely amazing as well. He got every shot during the skydive so I’d be able to go home and brag to family and friends about how I’ve never been on a plane before but I had the courage to jump out of one. He also has such a good and fun personality which made my experience extremely fun. (His interview was one of my favorite parts). If I could recommend any duo to jump with it would be Silvio & Daniel. Thank you both for making my experience one I will never forget. 100/10 stars for both of them.

"Skydiving Adventure of a Lifetime at Skydive Chicago: Thrilling, Safe, and Unforgettable!" I had always dreamed of experiencing the exhilaration of skydiving, and my first jump at Skydive Chicago exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked through the doors, the friendly and professional staff set the stage for an incredible adventure. My instructor, Matt T., was an absolute rockstar. Not only did he possess an impressive wealth of knowledge and experience, but his passion for skydiving was infectious. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring that I felt both confident and excited. Matt's attention to detail and commitment to safety were evident, which made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire experience. The jump itself was an absolute rush, with breathtaking views that can only be described as awe-inspiring. The feeling of soaring through the sky, with the wind rushing around me, was a sensation like no other. It was a truly unforgettable moment that left me speechless. Skydive Chicago is more than just a facility; it's a community of like-minded adrenaline enthusiasts who share a passion for adventure.

Massive thanks to Matt T. and the entire Skydive Chicago team for making my first skydive an absolute blast!

I cannot put into words how great my jump was today!! Skydive Chicago made it the best experience possible! I had to originally reschedule due to weather but once I got there today, they keep their word and got me right onto the plane. I did this to celebrate turning 30 a month ago and I'm so happy I still had the opportunity do it. Ginger and Daniel were beyond AMAZING. They both made sure I had the best time possible. I will be looking at my pictures and watching my videos forever. Thank you both so much. Thank you Skydive Chicago. I will definitely be back for more!

Second jump in my books but a first for my sister and her boyfriend. We were on vacation and decided to skydive at Skydive Chicago, definitely didn’t disappoint! Best decision we made, I can say that this one was better than my first. My instructor Matt and videographer Chad were amazing thanks to them I have an awesome video and pictures to show off! Definitely looking forward to taking some classes so I can jump solo!!

What a great day! We got a gift certificate for our son's graduation. Such a great experience. He loved every minute of it. Johnny was stellar as TI! He made rhe experience so fun for our son! Ron was his video video guy and was awesome as well. He took some really great shots. Thank you both for making the experience so great!

5 Star experience, all the way! Just a beautiful facility and a professional staff. Shout out to my tandem partner, Silvio! He was amazing from start to finish. And a big thank you to our cameraman, Matt! Wonderful, high-quality pics and video of the entire spectacle! I loved it!

Definitely one of the top experiences you can have! I can't say enough good things about Skydive Chicago and especially my jump instructor/person Ginger. Ginger had an awesome energy the made the whole experience that much more amazing. She was so calm and chill I didn't realize I needed to freak out until I was falling out of a plane, but at the same time she kept the positive energy going from start to finish. The pics and footage she got for my media package were just great. I 100% recommend Skydive Chicago for your first jump experience!

Shout out to Ginger for being the best skydive instructor ever! This was my second jump at Skydive Chicago and both times have been so thrilling! This place has a unique atmosphere, with laid back staff who are sincerely happy to make your jump experience the best ever. While jumping out of a plane is scary no doubt, I'll do it again with the SC team without hesitation! Thank you Ginger!

Best experience of my entire life! If you haven’t skydived, you should! Face those fears! Skydive Chicago was amazing. Best of all I had the best team with me! My tandem jumper, Chris, and videographer/photographer, Jonny! Everything went so smoothly, and they reassured me of everything! IS IT TIME TO JUMP AGAIN?! ❤️🪂✈️

This was my first time skydiving and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Very nice facility that even had a 9 hole disc golf course! My tandem instructor, Chad, was the absolute best! Incredibly personable and professional which instilled confidence and really let me get hyped up to enjoy the experience to the max. The freefall was incredible, did some fun maneuvers with the parachute open, and the landing was a breeze. I HIGHLY recommend Skydive Chicago and a HUGE thank you to Chad for helping make it one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I will likely be going again in the near future ;)
