iFLY Chicago (Naperville)

iFLY Chicago (Naperville) is an indoor skydiving experience located in Naperville, outside Chicago, where participants fly inside a vertical wind tunnel without an aircraft or parachute. The facility uses a recirculating wind tunnel that generates speeds sufficient to support the human body in freefall position, making the activity accessible to flyers aged 3 to 103 regardless of fitness level or prior experience. It is one of the more distinctive things to do in Chicago for groups, families, and solo visitors looking for something beyond standard sightseeing.

Each booking includes a pre-flight training session, all flight gear, and hands-on assistance from a qualified instructor throughout the experience. Participants learn basic body positioning before entering the tunnel, and the instructor accompanies them during flight to guide technique and ensure safety. The session closes with a personalised flight certificate. Tickets cover the training, gear, and two flight rotations as standard; the starting point is 1752 Freedom Drive, Naperville. Wheelchair users should note that the facility does not currently offer wheelchair-accessible participation.
