HUGE shout out to Rogers & Baxter for making my mom's 81st bday and 1st tandem jump an INCREDIBLE experience for all of... us yesterday! Thanks for making dreams comes true and checking off bucket list items! Both guys were professional, courteous and kept us calm. Also had a fantastic and funny cameraman who did a terrific job too! Sorry we didn't catch his name. Great establishment, safety was a priority and easy booking. Highly recommend these guys!read more

Bachelor party jump at Skydive Chicago. Had the best time and greatest customer service experience at this place. This... was my first time ever skydiving and was partnered with a great instructor named Sean. Sean is a great instructor that walked me through the whole process with ease. I had full confidence in his ability to keep me safe as well as provide a great experience. I was also able to purchase a video package and the camera man was named Ron. Ron did a great job at filming all my obvious facial emotions though out the entire process. These two guys made this experience great and I look froward to jumping with Skydive Chicago in the near future!read more

If you’re going skydiving in Chicagoland look no further than Skydive Chicago!As my second time jumping Skydive... Chicago made the whole process as seedless and easy as jumping out of a plane should be. The booking and reservation process was quick. I booked with two friends and it was easy to make sure we were together. I do recommend filling out your forms and papers online before you get there to save time. The staff at check in and prep was courteous and worked with speed to make sure everyone was served while making sure everything was signed appropriately.When it came to the jump, I was with Michael. He started off by asking if I was going for my license after finding out it was my second jump. I said I thought about it so he told he all the things that I needed to prove to see if I was ready for the next step. He was funny and professional and helped expel any fears one has when jumping out of a plane. Hopefully you’re paired with him because he was the best!Remember to stop and get a beer after to celebrate this once in a lifetime achievement!read more

Was a great 1st time experience. It's a well run professional operation with great clean facilities. Chad was my... instructor for our tandem skydive. He is a great guy and I felt very comfortable in his care. I would recommend Chad for your tandem jump. My son and friends had a great time as well.read more

This is an experience that I will always remember. The staff is very professional, and my instructor Dan was amazing.... Dan calmed my nerves down as we were ascending into the air. We made a connection and when it was my time to jump out of the plane I knew that I would be taken care of. Thank you for the opportunity for us to make memories with our boys.read more

Went when they had a discount!Easy to find location, friendly staff, and overall such a great experience (I’ve gone... twice now).You need a LOT of patience if it’s your first time. Expect to be there for a few hours as you will need to complete waivers, rewatch the safety video, pay and then wait for the actual departure time. Our booking was for 10am and we didn’t actually get to skydive until 2/3pm. Weather permitting and depending on how many other divers there are.If it’s your first time I highly recommend getting the full video package as you WILL forget the experience since everything happens so quickly.BEST OF LUCK 🙂read more

How do you begin to describe an experience like this? Unfortunately, there aren’t words to give justice to it, but, I... will start with my instructor, Baxter... I absorbed every moment of that jump, it took a solid hour for my adrenaline to wind down. I didn’t doubt the process because you never left me feeling as though if I neglected to do something that you didn’t have it covered. The entire team is solid and knowledgeable. If you are considering video/photo packages, do it! The quality and quantity of what they provide is exceptional. I had no mental capability of focusing on a camera and they still got shots that were amazing. Skydive Chicago is a well oiled machine. Not any part of this left me wishing for anything different. Thank you all, so much for a day unlike any other! You’re # 1! Ps, office ladies, did we miss our names being called 😉 sorry for stalking you all so many times, just know you are appreciated.read more

I spent weeks trying to get a hold of someone on the phone about a skydive purchased that had to be used within a year.... I never reached anyone. I finally had to just drive there, again, and hope to skydive. Now it is post my first tandem and I want to purchase my second tandem before signing up for classes to get my license, and again, I can't get a hold of someone to purchase my second skydive. It makes me really wonder if another drop zone is a better idea, since getting a hold of anyone has proven impossible. Also, the second tandem price online is stated at $129, while the price in the first tandem pamphlet is $149.As far as the skydive itself, I felt very safe. The place is nice. But if you want to do a skydive, you just have to go there and plan on spending the day, and expect to be disappointed if the clouds do not cooperate. The experience is only positive by actually going there. Since I live over a two hour drive away, this very fact of only getting things done by having to go, such as even purchasing a second skydive, would eat four hours, because they can't seem to answer the phone. This lack of customer service seems to override the total experience.read more

We stayed there thru the Harvest Host program as we are traveling across the country in our travel trailer so it was... the perfect opportunity to skydive. Everything about it was awesome!!! If we didn't live so far away I would definitely be visiting again to take advantage of the second jump. The instructors were all super nice more than willing to answer any questions or concerns. We met the owner that evening talking about the whole Harvet Host program...hos little boy and my little girl played for a little while.... just an all around great experience!!!read more

Great facility and people. Saw everyone following COVID guidelines. Very professional yet super friendly. I was even... able to pin a picture of my late husband (granted a lot of safety pins) to honor him for this jump! If you're nervous, they will definitely put you at ease and make it the best thing ever. Great place, people and instructors. Highly recommend!!!!read more
