Sunday, May 21st was my first skydive and the staff at Florida Skydiving center made it a great one!! Everyone was very warm and welcoming and that really helped put me at ease. Our reservation (for 3 people) was at 12 pm and we ended up getting there about half hour early to fill out paperwork. We got put in... More

If there are six other attractions in the lake wales area that are better than this they must be unbelievable! But I doubt it. The rather modest rating does not reflect what a professional and friendly outfit the Florida Skydiving Centre is. Unfortunately the current rating appears to have been brought about by a a few people with what appears... More

Great... More

I went with my Fiance for her first tandem jump, when we got there we didnt know what to expect but it was exactly how I pictured it! She filled out her paper work and then we waited. You have to understand that skydiving takes patience you have to wait for the wind and weather and it is much easier... More

I had read some reviews about the wait for this place being long. They do state that expect to be there for about 4 hours but we were in and out in 2. That is including signing paperwork, being prepped for the jump, jumping, and receiving mine and my husband's dvd. I thought it was an overall amazing experience and... More

I went over the weekend with my mother and uncle and couldn't have picked a better place to jump for our first time. Everything was absolutely perfect and wouldn't change it for the world. i don't understand why people are such complainers. Yeah your appointment might be at 9, but they have to take the weather into account. you cant... More

The waiting for your jump is ridiculous. the conformation told us to get here a 9 am but I'm not jumping until atleast 3pm becuase they kept moving my group back, so who knows if i'll be here til 5pm. If i could get my money back i would go somewhere else. More
