If you live in and around Orlando or you’re a frequent visitor to the city you’ve probably seen the iFly Orlando Tower, except you may not realize it’s the iFly Tower. The red and blue tower has become a landmark in Orlando, whether you know what company it is or what it does. But if you look close enough to the tower you just might be able to figure out it has something to do with flying, and not in an airplane. On the bottom of the tower is an image of a man who appears to be freefalling or flying in the air as if skydiving. If you’ve ever been in iFly Orlando, you know it’s this tower that lets you experience flying without stepping foot onto an airplane.

It’s within this tower that guests will experience true flying conditions, just like skydiving. The vertical wind tunnel generates 5 – 200 horsepower fans that circulate and create a wall-to-wall cushion of air, on which you can safely float! All you do is stand in the tunnel and when the wind picks up, so will you. There are no parachutes, no jumping and nothing holding on to you. It’s an incredible experience and the closest you’ll get to skydiving without jumping form a plane.

For the chance to skydive without getting in a plane, make sure to fly with iFly in Orlando. It’s great for kids as well, so make it the most spectacular family outing. But don’t stop there; find more great dinner/entertainment options at Universal’s CityWalk.

Once you’re done experiencing the wind tower head to Universal Orlando CityWalk, which is just a short drive from iFly, about a 10-minute walk. From NBA City, Emeril’s Orlando, and Margaritaville, there’s ton of entertainment and dining options at CityWalk. For great family fun and a great deal, try the CityWalk Meal and Movie ticket for an excellent dinner at one of the popular CityWalk restaurants and a movie ticket at AMC’s Universal Cineplex 20!
