What a great time, I've spent most of my life wanting to do this. On my birthday I got to jump with my family. Ginger was awesome, she made me laugh and feel calm and I look forward to the next adventure. Next time with laced shoes. The videos and photos were great, Thanks Ron. Skydive Chicago is a very nice facility and the staff was great especially Ginger & Ron. Thank you.

It was an amazing experience, and a good view here. My instructor Ginger and videographer Kacey were the best! Ginger took good care of me and she was funny, so it made me comfortable to jump with her. The video and the photos were perfect in how they captured me enjoying the skydive and flying. Thank you so much Ginger and Kacey! The facilities are also very cool, and the pizza from the cafe was so good too. I would love to jump at Skydive Chicago again!

My Instructor Ginger made it simply easy and completely safe for the jump i made recently - we had a good conversation up there which i believe is her office..!! 😜 Had fun dive and jumping with Ginger she explained me alot of things at her office and ensured my safety checks tru out the entire journey from the walk to touchdown Enjoyed the red turns before the landing and she did allow me to pull the parachute - that was crazy 10/10 ⭐️ to her and the work she does. hope to see you again 🫣 Baxter on the other hand ensured my jump moment were captured on his gopro - he knows his job when you are up in the sky. Thanks Skydive Chigaco for the experience - love it..!!

10/10 Highly Suggest Matt T. at Skydive Chicago. This was my first experience on an airplane and skydiving. I didn’t know what to expect but Matt made it fun and I felt SO safe the entire time. Everyone needs to experience this opportunity once! I will definitely be going again :)

I just lived my best life skydiving. I was so afraid to do it but my Tandem master Silveo Lopes was so great at keeping me calm and laughing, he made my dive so fun. I can't wait until the next time. Everyone at Skydive Chicago was so friendly and reassuring. Best day ever.

Yesterday was one of the best experiences of my life by far. The anticipation of skydiving is much worst than actually doing it. Everyone at Skydive Chicago was incredibly professional and made the entire process very easy. My instructor Matt did a great job in assisting me with everything associated with my tandem jump. I will be back for more jumps for sure. I highly recommend this place if you are considering skydiving in Chicago.

Been tandem jumping twice. Ready for the real deal of going alone. All the instructors are extremely nice and ready for anything. The entire journey felt very extreme but safe. I would recommend to anyone. Matt was my most recent instructor but both guys were making it an incredible experience

Definitely one of the top experiences you can have! I can't say enough good things about Skydive Chicago and especially my jump instructor/person Ginger. Ginger had an awesome energy the made the whole experience that much more amazing. She was so calm and chill I didn't realize I needed to freak out until I was falling out of a plane, but at the same time she kept the positive energy going from start to finish. The pics and footage she got for my media package were just great. I 100% recommend Skydive Chicago for your first jump experience!

This was my first tandem jump, my guide that I jumped with was Ginger. She was absolutely amazing! She told me her story and answered all my questions. I went with my aunt and my cousin, they also loved their guides. It was the most amazing experience and getting the selfie package made us be able to share our experience with others driving home and being able to look at our videos and pictures are so funny. We all plan to go for a second jump. 1000% everyone should go.

I had a blast skydiving my first tim with ginger, she was very instructive and explained everything multiple times before my jump and made me feel very safe also the camera man was prettu cool got good pics and good video. Then I decided to go onto a second jump with Mathew and he taught me a lot about my jump and what do to and look for because I said I wanted to get my licence. He was very helpful. Overall awesome experience!

Had a great time on my first ever jump! Highly recommend Skydive Chicago. Staff was real friendly and the overall atmosphere was very appealing. My instructor went above and beyond making sure I knew what to expect and what I needed to do for a smooth jump and landing. He was very diligent in making sure that my harness was doing what it needed to do triple checking before we even got on the plane let alone all the checks he did in the plane. 10/10 would recommend!

My wife and I did our first tandem skydive jump for our second wedding anniversary at Skydive Chicago. Our instructors were Chad and Silvio who were both great! They both provided clear instruction and kept the mood light for us as nervous first time jumpers. Our photographers were Matt and Ron who pumped us up to get great photos we’ll cherish the rest of our lives. Additionally, as other people have mentioned, everyone made us feel like we were part of the community from ground level, up in the air, and then back on the ground. We cannot wait to go back!
