Right now, you can hit terminal velocity at iFly Hollywood with the best deal in town, and just in time for Father’s Day!
I tried it — and LOVED it!(see my photo on the coupon!) “iFly indoor skydiving was one of the most fun experiences I have ever had! It was not only fun for me to do, but it was also fun to see my husband do it too. Watching him spin around the wind tunnel with a big smile on his face and his cheeks rippling was amazing! I can’t wait to do it again. The staff and instructors were great and made sure everything was enjoyable! This is something you do NOT want to miss out on!”
Your trip to iFly includes training, flight suit rental, gear, two flights (the equivalent of three skydive freefalls), and one-on-one instruction from an iFly certified flight instructor. You will also receive a Certificate of Completion once you’ve regained your sense of balance. If you want to relive it with out-of-town friends and family, you can buy a photo or DVD of your “flight.” Feel free to bring reluctant friends — they can watch your freefall from any angle with the 360-degree public viewing area. After your drop, check out Jillian’s next door. They have billiards, upscale bowling, arcade games, and a full restaurant and bar. They just went through a total remodel and is better than ever. It’s also a great place to host parties and special events!
Get in on this deal and prepare for gravity-free greatness at iFly Hollywood! The “Earn Your Wings” package and a $10 game card to the freshly-renovated Jillian’s can be yours for only $50 from Jen’s List!
