    As a commercial pilot and flight instructor all I can say is this place is amazing! As a gift, my wife, gave me the 737 Boeing experience and this is for sure a complete aviation experience. Peter is an extremely knowledgeable pilot. During the flight simulation, Peter will give you top of the notch lessons about flying a 737 jet aircraft. My favorite part of the 737 Boeing experience is that you get to fly in real live routes and weather conditions previous commercial aircraft flew. The cool thing is the unknown factors like rain, turbulence, crosswind that you will encounter in real life during the flight. However, Peter will be there every step of the way to ensure you have a good flight and safe landing! I also experienced the F-18 jet simulator. This will blow your mind away! Specially, the acrobatic maneuvers are as real as it gets! Wether you are an amateur or a commercial airline pilot Sim Center Tampa Bay experience is worth every bit of the money. Thank you, Peter!

    This place is awesome! I brought my friend here recently for the 737 experience for his birthday. I am an airline pilot and will say Peter is very knowledgeable on the 737 and does a fantastic job of making this a very realistic experience. If you have any interest in airplanes or becoming a pilot this is a MUST.

    This place was amazing! I am a disabled veteran and have been struggling with anxiety and have not flown in 3 years, but after treatment with the VA, we decided that I was well enough to begin flying again after setting some goals. The first step was to visit the airport and get used to being there again. The second was to visit a realistic simulator, and the 737 simulator that Peter has, gave me the confidence to fly again! It was VERY realistic with exact sounds, visuals, and mechanical details of a commercial airliner. Before my scheduled flight, Peter did two things that helped me tremendously: 1. He let me ride as a passenger on another scheduled flight which brought my anxiety to the surface and I was able to overcome it with learned techniques. 2. When it was my turn to fly, prior to my flight, he sat with me up front at a table and took the time to ask me what caused my fear of flying, we talked about it in detail, and he gave me a lot of reasons why I can overcome this fear and get back to flying. I left that place with my confidence level on 1000 and will be flying next month! Thank you Peter for this wonderful experience! I hope other vets facing aviation anxiety due to military deployments take advantage of this untapped therapy I got from Peter’s Sim Center. I will be back soon strictly for fun!

    I flew the Boeing 737 SIM today. What an awesome experience. I have flown many single engine airplanes, VFR. This was a humbling hour to say the least. The cockpit is realistic and real time weather is loaded in for your flight. You go from start up, to taxi, to your 1 hour flight , to landing. Peter is amazing, and walks you through every step of the way. If you are into aviation at all, this is a must do experience. The F16 simulator is next for me.

    Wow! Incredible simulator experience. My Mom was flying an F-35 & I flew an F-18 over Las Vegas. I watched as my other half drove a Formula 1 car @ 180+mph!

    Tons of games available, a full 737 cockpit and fighter jets and race cars to choose from! The VR fighter jet was very fun, the chair moves with your maneuvers and there’s a realistic cockpit

    It is a great experience to fly a B737. The SIM is absolutely professional and the instructor Peter is a professional too. We had a lot of fun. I learned a lot about flying an airliner. Absolutely recommendable. Cannot wait to do it again!!!

    Excellent Sims of many types of airplanes, including a full Boeing 737 simulator. VR plan Sims are very realistic. Reservations are recommend so you don't wait for a free Sim, but the experience is worth every penny.
