Our family had a fantastic experience today with Jordan at iFLY Basingstoke. We booked 4x two-flight sessions and 2x video packages using Tesco vouchers (so free!). The whole experience was amazing, and my children enjoyed themselves so much that we decided to pay for an extra flight at £20 each. It was absolutely worth it, especially having not paid anything initially, as they were more relaxed and really got the most out of their flights. We have already booked to return in March, taking advantage of their special return offer of £119.99 for 10 flights, which can be shared between up to 5 people. This is such a brilliant deal, and since I knew the girls would want to come back, it made perfect sense to purchase it on the day. The viewing gallery is great too, you get to see everyone fly right in front of you, and the instructors add to the fun by being quite comical (as are some of the flyers!). It is also very accessible for spectators to take their own photos and videos, which I think can actually be better quality than the purchased ones. Our flight time was at 11:30 and we were finished by 12:15, so if you are travelling from further away it might be a good idea to combine it with another activity in the leisure complex. There looks to be a swimming pool, bowling, ice skating, and a cinema all nearby, so we plan to make more of a day of it next time. Thank you for such a brilliant day - I have never seen so many smiles before (or was it wind face?).

Odd one this. And yes, it should be a spectacular experience, instead it's a well oiled sales machine. The 2 x 1mins you spend in the tunnel is fine but before you go in you are pitched a £20 added fee for what they call a high ride, which is the instructor taking you or your child higher up the wall for about 10 seconds. If your child doesn't want that then it's 2 x twirls in the tunnel with a quick hold for you to take a snap and then back to the bench. If you don't buy the virtual reality package or other extras you are bypassed and simply spend 10mins watching the others. Pretty dull for youngsters. Added in conversations and placed on the wall are various options to buy more things and at the end there is a pitch on coming back, vouchers and recommending to others. The instructor went through the motions but perked up when they demonstrated their acrobats in the tunnel. By far the longest anyone spent in it! Finally our time slot was listed and we were asked to arrive 45 mins before for preparation. In actuality the whole experince took 50mins. We walked out the building 5 mins after our alloted time slot was listed. Rushed through it seems. The next group already in the tunnel as we walkd out the derig room. So, what is this, ifly is billed as a spectacular experience. It offers something unique but the experience could be so very much more, maybe they could give some background, offer some dky diving tips, present some excitment, give it a dynamic. if a child isnt hugely able or struggles to lie flat given them more support, management. Here it was driven by just getting things done and as quickly as possible. £50 spent in less than a few mins in the tunnel and just about an hour in the building! It is what it is but ultimately its not really very much. Plan something else to do around it. And take your fat wallet!
