SKYDIVE CHICAGO

ABOUT SKYDIVE CHICAGO

Skydive Chicago’s roots trace back to the early 1980s, when a deep passion for parachuting fueled the drive to push the boundaries of the sport, from training techniques to equipment advancements. This vision helped establish one of the largest and most innovative skydiving resorts of its time.

From that foundation, Skydive Chicago has grown into a destination for everyone: from first-time jumpers to students earning their license to experienced flyers looking to level up their skills. With world-class instruction, a vibrant community, and amenities designed for comfort and convenience, every visit offers the chance to learn, grow, and feel connected to something bigger.

And for those wondering why they should take the leap? Because this experience is more than a thrill, it’s a perspective shift. It’s stepping out of the ordinary and into a moment that belongs entirely to you. It’s the rush of the wind, the freedom of freefall, and the clarity that comes from doing something you never imagined you could. People come here to challenge themselves, celebrate milestones, overcome fear, feel alive, and experience a joy that’s hard to find on the ground.

A jump at Skydive Chicago isn’t just an activity, it’s a memory you’ll carry for the rest of your life.
