I had a great time! Baxter was awesome. He kept a super calm vibe the whole time and repeated instructions multiple times throughout the experience. It’s so exciting and your brain just kind of freezes so that’s really helpful! Super smooth landing I slide in on my butt in the grass field and it honestly felt so soft! I wasn’t sore at all. Over all great experience and I can’t wait for my 2nd jump!! 5 out of 5 Highly recommend and the facility was nice and clean! Good thing to note.

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".

First time tandem skydiving was awesome and frightening at the same time. My instructor Ginger was kind and amazing, especially since we landed safely and alive. You never really understand the importance of that, lol. Also, I enjoyed all of my photos Josh took. He was hilarious and had a great personality that made it all worthwhile. Not sure if I have the guts to dive again, but for those interested it is definitely worth it to check this place out

Rogers was absolutely awesome! He made me feel at ease. My jump was absolutely amazing and breathtakingly beautiful! I went in thinking that I would be one and done, but now I look forward to experiencing many more jumps. I'll trust Rogers with my life again and again! Special thank you to Skydive Chicago and Rogers for the best experience of a lifetime!!!

This was my second jump and I loved it even more than my first jump. I still love my first jump but this time was just awesome! Michael was my tandem and he was great. kept it light hearted and did not hesitate to go over the instructions again when I asked! He made my jump all the more comfortable and fun! Thank you Michael!👍🏼👍🏼

I really enjoyed myf irst skydiving experience here. The staff here is very friendly. Everything went smooth from training to the jump. Planes look like they are well maintained. The bar here, serves really tasty wraps. I had the veggie one and bosh it was reaaaaly good :-) and it's not expensive. I can recommend it to everyone, single skydiver or in groups :-) prices for the jump and photos and video are average in this industry. I had my pics and video on flash drive which is also a nice souvenir. Go ahead and take that jump, don't hesitate you'll love it ;-)

Did my first jump in over 30 years today. Tim was the instructor and he is awesome. I enjoyed it so much I scheduled ground school and second tandem as soon as we landed. Thanks Tim.

This was my first time skydiving and had an amazing time. Ryan was our pre-jump instructor and was very helpful answering any and all questions our group had. I personally jumped with Vince as my tandem while cameraman Timmy took video and photos. I highly recommend the video and photo package to any one jumping for the first time. Pictures were very high quality and turned out well. I was really nervous prior to going but Sky Dive Chicago and their staff were very helpful in making this an unforgettable experience.

The skydive was great but be prepared to wait. I booked a reservation for 12:00 and didn't go up until after 3:30. It wasn't a problem with weather. They need a better reservation system.

My first jump was 06/2016. I loved it so much, I went right back 2 months later. Both instructors were amazing and always tried to make me feel at ease. And all other staff member were very friendly and welcoming. I've already prepaid for my next jump this year. Can't wait!

First tandem jump was amazing. Ryan walked me through the whole thing and it was truly a pleasure! Very nice, courteous and knowledgeable staff running a very well organized skydiving operation. As soon as Ryan pulled the cord I was screaming lets do it again!!!

Thanks for the exhilarating experience Skydive Chicago!!!

I will be coming back here for sure!!!

It was awesome! My friend and I had an amazing time and can't wait to do it again. The instructors were super cool and the facility was really nice. I am recommending Skydive Chicago to everybody. There is no place else that I would've wanted to jump 13,000 feet out of a plane. ✈️😆

This place is HUGE! Started off by being closed what I considered pretty early but understand can't stay open if we don't have jumpers. I roll in and looking for a place to stay. Come to find out you are supposed to check in prior to pitching a tent. I was greeted with one of the grounds guy who hooked me up with a place to tent. The next morning the same guy see's me hanging out by myself and comes over to let me know the hanger is open. I was up early excited to jump so had a bit of a wait to get gear checked and waivers signed.
When it is time to jump a little disappointed I had NO ONE to jump with. I hate doing a solo at a new drop zone. but I received a great briefing and I was confident I would be good. Great ride up and smooth safe landing.
at this point I decided I was going to move onto the next drop zone. The SAME GUY has now worked it tail off to find me a fellow belly flyer. Unfortunately I had already packed all my stuff and made the decision to head out. To the one guy that did everything to make me feel welcome I thank you sir and hope to see you in the future and get a jump in with you.
