What Is It:
Niagara Freefall is the first indoor state-of-the-art skydiving wind tunnel in Canada and is designed for the general public and operational year-round. Indoor Skydiving completely immerses visitors in the world of high adventure skydiving, without ever having to pack a parachute, pull a ripcord, or jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Niagara Freefall offers the adventure of a life time with no experience necessary. Virtually anyone can do indoor skydiving from the age of 5 yrs and up. Flyers under the age of 18 require a parent or guardian to be present and sign a waiver.
The tunnel employs state of the art technology which accurately controls the environment inside the tunnel. The indoor flight chamber has a diameter of 12 feet and is 20 feet high. Its just like Freefalling from the sky… it’s amazingly realistic.
Flying in a vertical wind tunnel allows you to defy gravity, almost like the zero G’s that astronauts experience.
Is it safe?
Freefall’s unique design, with its padded walls and soft padded floors and professional-trained instructors, allows flyers to safely enjoy their flight session. Your flight instructor is with you throughout your flight and during your entire flight experience.
With the help of a certified instructor, you will be flying after a brief 20 minute training class. Come as you are and we will provide all of the necessary gear to make your dream of flight come true.
