The Kansas side of the metro has its own way to fly. At iFLY Kansas City, a state-of-the-art vertical wind tunnel delivers real free-fall conditions — no airplane, no parachute, no leap of faith required — with an instructor floating right beside you.



Every visit starts with a training session, so complete beginners are welcome; then come two flights of pure floating and spinning under expert guidance. It is the same wind-tunnel technology skydivers train in, repackaged as pure joy for first-timers. Afterwards you take home a personalized flight certificate as proof you truly flew.
Rated 4.59 stars by 32 flyers, with admission starting at $109.10, it is a standout pick for families, thrill-seekers and bucket-list collectors visiting either side of the state line.
