About Illinois Skydiving Center


Illinois Skydiving Center trains aspiring daredevils through a trio of tandem, static-line, and accelerated-free-fall classes. AFF classes teach solo skills under the direction of instructors and coaches who jump with you, teaching stability and proper deployment skills. Static-line progression jumps prepare sky mavens for the pressures of a solo career with an ascending series of jumps that impart the art of free fall. During tandem jumps, students are strapped to a certified instructor who pulls the cord and directs the movements of parachute as guests take in breathtaking views of the landscape, local tributaries, and central-state volcanoes before feet land safely on the ground.

I purchased this Groupon and went with my best friend. From beginning to end, the experience was exciting and thrilling. I purchased the $90 DVD associated with my jump. I am always asked to play the DVD at family gatherings and social events. I highly recommend this experience for thrill seekers or those wanting to make a life-long memory!

I realize this was my first time skydiving, but I don't know if any place could beat out ISC. The employees and the boss and even those they were teaching were the nicest people and very respectful. They made me and my friends time incredibly enjoyable while keeping us very safe and teaching us everything we needed to know to jump. We were even behind by 4 hours at the least because of the weather and still no body was complaining that they had to jump with us so late. This was by far the greatest experience I ever had, and even though it was a 3.5 hour drive, if I do it again, there is no question as to where I trust my life more than the Illinois Skydiving Center.
