Skydive Chicago

Ginger is one of those instructors that makes skydive chicago what it is. Everyone is super friendly, patient, and the gear is on point making you feel safe. Had a blast taking some of my family for their first jump.

Loved the experience here for my first time skydiving!
Michael F was a great instructor - made me feel comfortable to ask questions and made sure we had fun. He’s sassy, which helped me just joke around and not worry about falling out of the airplane. The food was delicious. We had quite a few wind delays and the staff communicated all the time to let us know updates and to make sure we knew the delays were for ours and their safety.
Registration was also super easy and provided all the info needed on the site. When I had questions they were prompt to email me back which is always nice from a business.
Would definitely skydive here again!

It was my first tandem skydiving experience and it was awesome! I highly recommend Skydive Chicago! They were organized, detailed, informative, helpful, kind and fun! My tandem skydiver was phenomenal! Derek Baxter made my first tandem skydive experience super fun, safe and memorable!! The entire staff has a great attitude. I highly recommend purchasing the video and picture package. I loved my pictures and videos. If you are willing to take the jump, you need to go to Skydive Chicago!

The best experience in my life!!! My instructor Michael Fiala was great! I felt safe and calm with him during the whole time. Highly recommend!

My mom and I went skydiving here for my birthday. Kacey was my tandem master, and Charles took videos/photos of my first jump! My mom was partnered with Ginger and all three of them were fantastic! They were engaging, knowledgeable, and you could clearly tell they enjoy what they do and want those they jump with to experience that as well. We felt super safe the whole time, had a blast and would recommend to anyone who wants to try it!

Let me just say, the entire experience was amazing! The staff is very friendly and excited for you to jump. My tandem instructor was Ginger and she made the experience so comfortable and enjoyable, (start to finish). Ron joined our jump recording and taking photos, they came out fantastic! Highly recommend Skydive Chicago! Looking forward to get my license after this magical opportunity! Thank you!

I can't even put into words how awesome this was, this has been on my bucket list for the last 2 years unfortunately the pandemic ruined it for me then I just chickened out last year. But I finally did it 1 day before my 40th birthday. The initial fall from the plane was the most adrenaline I've ever had rushing through my viens but at one moment I felt like a super hero or like I was playing Battle Royale or WarZone LMAO. These guys are awesome the entire staff they were so nice and professional and my jump with Grant was amazing, he's amazing. Forget about The Amazing Spider Man they meant amazing Grant... I will be jumping again with my best friend and the guy recording my jump I forgot his name but he made me feel so alive that's guy is super cool... Thanks Skydive Chicago

Went Skydiving with Skydive Chicago for my 38th birthday! Was an amazing experience. My tandem instructor BAXTER was phenomenal and I highly recommend him! I will be back to do this again!!! Thank you SKYDIVE CHICAGO for helping me celebrate my Birthday!!!

One heck of an experience! It was my first time here and first time skydiving. As with any first time skydiving, I was in panic mode, yet thrilled and excited to experience the adrenaline rush. The anticipation of first jump is difficult to get by but it's all a play of your mind. My tandem instructor, Sean, reiterated this point, which helped greatly to calm my nerves. He is an awesome instructor. He walked me through everything, and answered all my questions. You could tell how passionate he is about skydiving as well as making sure his tandem partner feels safe, and is having fun. Thanks to him, my anticipatory anxiety declined as we boarded the plane and eventually took that jump at 13,500 ft. The view from the top is amazing! I even pierced through a cloud!!

Josh took my videos and photos, he was fun from the start. They came out beautiful!! I'm more than happy for the splurge and I am definitely coming back next year because of the positive experience I had. Highly recommend Skydive Chicago.

Unbelievable experience!!! Ginger was absolutely amazing and felt comfortable putting my life in her most capable hands!!! She was so chill and confident and totally kept me calm throughout the jump! It was my first time skydiving and it was really great to experience this with her because she was having a blast too! Next time I fly it’s with you girl!!!! ❤️
Ron… you are the best! You got me pumped up ready to go!! It was great having you there with me too! We could spin and interact while flying through the air! It was the perfect mix for me because I love experiencing things with others and having Ron there was a real great boost of joy! Excellent photos and videos Ron!!! Definitely a must have to rewatch the best experience of your life. The entire process was simple and instructions are easy to follow. People that work there are so nice 👍 to chat with and felt so comfortable being there. I’m trying to recruit a group to go and spread the love. What an awesome time! Thanks again and hope I fly with you guys again real soon! Special thanks to my friend Carl for making my birthday the best I ever had.
