About This Experience Gift

  • See the World in a Beautiful New Way While Underneath a Parachute
  • Discover the Thrill of a 120 MPH Freefall From 9,000 Feet in the Air
  • Jump While Harnessed to a USPA Certified Instructor

Experience the adventure of a lifetime during this Tandem Skydiving Experience over Chicagoland. The thrills take place just over an hour west of the City at the Rochelle Municipal Airport.

The fun begins upon arrival when you receive a 20 to 30 minute pre-jump orientation. Next, you will suit-up and hop on the plane with your Instructor. When the plane reaches an altitude of 9,000 feet above the dropzone, it is time to exit the aircraft! Prior to the Tandem Skydive, you will be harnessed to your Certified Instructor as you get ready for an amazing 20-30 second 120 mph freefall. 

When you reach the appropriate altitude, your Instructor will deploy the parachute so that you glide back to earth under the canopy built for two. During your descent, you will be able to help guide the parachute and enjoy amazing views of the Rochelle landscape below.

This First-Jump Tandem Skydive Adventure Chicago is the perfect experience and a great gift for anyone who has always wanted to jump out of a plane!
