Vegas Indoor Skydiving is located in Sin City, and with its 1,000-hp electric motor attached to the propeller of a DC-3 aircraft, is the oldest commercial wind tunnel in the United States. It’s been open for 40 years, since 1982!

Built on the site of a bank Vegas Indoor Skydiving is also the oldest “attraction” in all of Las Vegas, according to a certificate from the city council. It was the second wind tunnel in history designed for human flight, after Jean St-Germain’s AERODIUM tunnel near Montreal, Canada.

While this tunnel can “only” reach about 120 mph (193 kph), it’s an excellent location for beginner flyers. Unlike most modern wind tunnels, which feature “wall-to-wall” columns of air,  there is a small padded ring around the edge of the tunnel (outside the column of air), where participants and instructors can stand while not flying, but still be right next to the action!

THE IDEAL SPOT FOR YOUR FIRST FLIGHT

This wind tunnel offers a unique flying experience that can’t be found at most modern tunnels. As mentioned above, however, the wind tunnel operates at significantly lower speeds than most modern tunnels, so it’s mostly first-time skydivers who attend. Experienced wind tunnel fliers generally steer clear, opting for the more modern, advanced tunnels.

The facility offers a wide range of flying experiences to suit every skill level, so whether you’re just starting out or you’re already an experienced skydiver, there’s something for everyone. With competitive rates and passionate staff, this attraction is perfect for thrill seekers and families alike, offering an unforgettable take on Vegas entertainment that can’t be missed.
