It's not often that you find yourself crouched at the open door of a flying airplane, heart pounding and wind whipping by, while waiting to jump out, deploy your own parachute, and float gently to the ground. This thrill-seeking experience is available to first-time and returning divers at Skydive Spaceland, one of the country's largest skydiving training centers which has been helping people achieve lifelong dreams on a regular basis for more than 20 years. Tandem dives pair newbies with experienced instructors, and skydiving lessons teach students how to take the plunge on their own in as little as one week. Skydiving experiences can also be given as a gift or used to cross an item off a bucket list. An on-site pro shop sells skydiving T-shirts and souvenirs that prove you've conquered your fear of heights.
