iFLY Basingstoke (formerly Airkix) is the newest iFLY location in the UK and features 4 great activities.Pride of place is the 14ft (4.3m) diameter, super-smooth, super-fast wind tunnel for indoor skydiving. Set off from that and also overlooked by our mezzanine viewing gallery are two Ski Zone slopes where anyone at any level from complete novice upwards can learn to ski or board. It's the fastest and most rewarding way to learn whether you want to just try it out or sign up for a course. Fully immersive VR attraction Paraflight VR lets visitors explore a virtual mountainous world, collecting points by flying through targets on their descent.Participants control both the physical and virtual game-play, using a full range of motions, including dips and sudden deceleration. Finally we have the Freedom Climber. This revolutionary rotating wall of fun allows you to try your hand at climbing whilst staying only a few feet from the ground.
I had a great time here trying my first ever indoor skydive. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. Can't wait for my next visit. Fly time seems over waay too soon but that's because it's so much fun! It is expensive for the duration of the fly time and be careful of all the extra add ons you can have on the day, as it may cost way more than you think if you have a family. iFly is great fun and addictive.
