This place was incredible. Although I was unsure whether the price would be worth it and had to wait over an hour... before my flight, the actual jump completely made up for it. Ginger was a great and enthusiastic instructor along with the rest of the jumpers. The energy on the plane was immaculate, and the jump made me want to do it again! Can't wait for another dive at Skydive Chicago 🙂read more

My family and I went skydiving at Skydive Chicago this July. This was a first for four of us and the second time for my... daughter. Once signed in and after a short video we meet our instructors. They were all great at making all of us feel comfortable. My instructor who's name was Baxter was good at running through the experience before hand while on the ground and again on the plane. He was also very encouraging along the way. You can tell that the instructors love their jobs and it shows in their great attitudes. We will definitely be back to jump again. The experience was like nothing else!read more

I couldn’t have asked for a better partner! Jim was so upbeat and amazing with the camera and I’m so happy I get to replay this whenever I want!

Back on 6/20/22, I did another tandem jump with Ginger as my instructor. She did an excellent job clearly explaining... the hand signals and procedures of the jump. During the jump, she pointed out the various landmarks to determine our orientation to the landing zone. I was allowed to grab the steering handles, to get a feel for the controls to turn the chute. Overall, another very enjoyable and informative experience. I'm definitely coming back.read more

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I was definitely peer pressured into taking the great leap aka, I was very scared.Chad, the... person that was in-trusted to ensure my safety flying towards the earth at 120mph, made me feel safe as could be. He used a good amount of humor which is up my alley and his instructions were clear and concise.It took about 1second after we jumped to realize that I was in absolute love with skydiving. Seriously guys, skydive and when you do, you have to go to Skydive Chicago.read more

Everyone was excited for me and encouraged me. My instructor, Chad, made me feel safe and secure and the videographer, Johnny, made me feel like a star! The other jumpers on the plane were supportive and excited for me. It's a feeling like no other falling out of the plane. I can't wait to experience it again.read more

I have written a bucket list, my goal was to Skydiver right when I finish High school. Skydiving was one of the things... I wrote down before I got married because I knew that my future wife wouldn't let me do it. When I turned 18, I called my parents and let them know that I am going to Skydive in Chicago. They thought I was joking, but I wasn't at all. I had proof of photos and video. Now my dad wants to go. I recommend SDC, friendly staff and they know their stuff!! Thank you for the awesome memories! 🙂read more

What an amazing experience! I just turned 80 and have always thought I would like to skydive. I figured I'd better get... to it soon. I went with my granddaughter (her instructor was Chad) and her friend Katie (her instructor was Ginger). Mine was Baxter. All of the instructors were wonderful and went far to making us feel very confident in the safety of our jump. Baxter checked and double checked everything and told me exactly what I should do. We were all impressed with them and look forward to another jump in the future. Skydiving at Skydive Chicago was even better than I anticipated!read more

Absolutely loved the entire experience! From check-in, to waiting time with the available food and coffee options, to... the briefing with the instructor to the actual jump - loved every second of it!In particular, my "tandem master", Chad, (or whatever I'm supposed to call him) was amazing. He seemed very distant at first, and not caring, but when we got to business, he surely knew what he was doing. My guess is, he's one of those "skydiving cowboys", that does what he loves for a living and he loves that. That very fact made me love the way that the guy works - it seemed as if he only cared about making the greatest experience for his students, such as myself, while keeping all of us very safe in the sky along the way.I'm planning to come for a second tandem jump, I and I hope I get Chad again. But beyond those two tandem jumps that I wanna do, I'd love to go solo - that's the only logical next step in my skydiving "career".......read more

To Rogers, Michael, and the team at Skydive Chicago, thank you for the amazing jump. My sister and I made a memory that... will not soon be forgotten. One of my favorite parts of pursuits such as this is the people I get to meet. They inspire me to push myself farther. Rogers was my instructor and completed his 9,021 jump with me attached to his chest. If I had any doubts before going out the door, his experience and personality set me at ease. Going into this I had too many “hobbies”. Looks like I may have to add another.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

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'd definitely do it again and recommend it, just keep one thing in mind Fear Is Not An Option!!!! Thanks Skydive Chicago for the best experience besides sex!!!!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
