This is one of the few indoor sky diving simulation centers in the USA. It is essentially a wind tunnel in which you can fly on the rush of wind (125mph) that simulates what a real sky dive would be like.

It's great if you're considering a real plane jump......and it costs a lot less too! There are professional sky divers on hand to train you and guide you once you're inside the wind tunnel.

The Sky Venture center is located near downtown Orlando. For further info and to watch a video of a Sky Ventures experience see click the link below.
