The experience takes place inside a 14-foot-wide vertical wind tunnel, where powerful streams of air lift you off the ground and let you float effortlessly. There’s no jumping from a plane or sudden drop at iFLY Oakville—just the sensation of leaning into the wind as it supports you in midair.
The sensation is often compared to sticking your head out a moving car window—windy and exhilarating, but without the stomach-dropping feeling of a roller coaster. Each flight lasts 60 seconds, giving you enough time to get comfortable in the air and build confidence as you learn the basics.
No experience is required. Before your flight, you’ll watch a brief training video and learn a few basic flying positions with an instructor. All equipment is provided, including a flight suit, helmet, and goggles that fit over glasses.
Flight Essentials
First-time flyers focus on learning the basics, while more advanced techniques are typically reserved for experienced flyers. Wear comfortable clothing and lace-up athletic shoes, remove jewellery and watches, and tie back long hair. From check-in to your final flight, plan for about 90 minutes.
Located at 2007 Winston Park Drive near Winston Churchill Boulevard and the QEW, iFLY Oakville offers free parking and is wheelchair accessible. Flyers can be as young as three years old, with no upper age limit. Be sure to review the health and safety requirements before booking, as guests weighing more than 300 pounds cannot fly.
Whether you’re looking for a unique birthday gift, a memorable family outing, or simply a fun new experience, it’s an activity that appeals to all ages. Bring a friend along—the reactions are half the fun.
