chicagoland skydiving center

My experience at CSC was one I won't soon forget. From the staff and my instructor and videographer to the dive itself, the whole day was incredible! I will definitely being going back - it was worth every penny!

It is fun watching the sky divers leave and then come back. You can tell they are on a "high." The food is great as is the atmosphere. They have sand volleyball as well that is fun to watch.

Over the top staff who went above and beyond in accommodating the marchers on the Great March for Climate Action, wait staff in the restaurant who were wonderful and food that was simply delicious! A perfect spot to spend an afternoon with family and friends.

Next time I'm back this way I'll stop for sure and maybe do a dive myself. Frindly staff,beautiful grounds, great food.!!

Much thanks and gratitude to the Skydiving Center! They hosted the Great March for Climate Action on our cross-country trip from LA to DC to inspire action on the climate crisis. We had a great stay that included memorable hospitality and generosity on the part of the folks here. I leave with new memories of good times.

We tented here for 2 nights during our walk from Los Angeles to Washington, DC. Such great hospitality! Amanda, you rock! Thank you.

There is no better place to do a tandem, or if you are feeling adventurous, the Accelerated Free Fall course. The staff will make you feel at home, and give you the best experience possible. Make sure to stop by the Flight Deck Grill, the food is amazing.

I've completed 4 tandem skydives at CSC over the last 4 years, and all of them were amazing! I've talked with tandem students who jumped at other drop zones in the area, and CSC is hands down the best skydiving center in the Midwest! They don't treat you like a number; they treat you like family. Their instructors are the most experienced and caring, their staff is the friendliest, their equipment is the safest & their dropzone is the prettiest! CSC makes your skydive more than just a jump, it's a life changing experience! If you're thinking about it, take the plunge! ~Blue Skies~

I took my wife here because she wanted to have an exciting and memorable birthday and we certainly had that! Even three days later I'm still feeling the effects of the adrenaline rush. Nothing can prepare you for this experience. While jumping out of the plane was scary as all getout, the confidence and professionalism of my instructor, Chris, took away any real worries I had. My photo/videographer, Buzz, did an awesome job capturing this experience. Both Chris and Buzz made this really a very fun experience that I highly recommend even if you are terrified of heights like I am.This is my first skydive and it won't be my last! Thanks CSC!

It was an amazing experience. Very friendly staff members and trainers and show good hospitality services. One of my friends had come with me to just see me jumping and all of a sudden she changed her mind to jump with me. Her attire was not suitable for sky diving (as she did not have plans to dive!), but she was helped by staff members and trainer with a spare shoe and jump suit and her wish was fulfilled! :)I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. It is a lifetime and awesome experience! :)

This was my first skydiving experience. Did it with a grandson who I gave it to as a birthday present. Well done facility -- clean, modern, neat to see. We did our jumps tandem. The instructors were thorough, stressed safety. Felt comfortable going up with them. The ride down was exhilarating. 10,000 feet, one minute of free fall, 4,000 feet with the chute. Felt great all the way down. I'd go again. If you're looking to do this for the first time, this is the place to go.

I and my friend did our jump here in August 2012 and my wife in July 2014. On the whole this is a great place for your jump. Do not forget you 5$ credit for checking in on facebook, your free drink after your jump while you wait for your photos and expect to spend almost 1 full day (5 hours) for the entire process.

The team was very professional and put you at ease before the jump. There is a nice outdoor bar area to hang out before or after, or if you have friends and family who come to watch you, it is a great view of the jumpers as they go up and come back down. I would prepare for a decent wait prior to jumping, but there's the bar/restaurant and they have a lounge. Definitely make sure you get the video and pictures.. after all, how often do you jump 14,000 feet from a plane?

Professional center. Professional staff and friendly. A hell of an experience to have. Just be sure to have the video option and be ready to wait. We had around 4h waiting more than our assigned time. Excellent !!!!

My girlfriend and I did a tandem jump at CSC and it was an excellent experience. The staff were very friendly, the facilities were great, and everything seemed in good repair. Our only issue was that we had booked for a 12:00 jump and because there were formation divers practicing that day we did not get to jump until about 4:00pm. However, the restaurant attached to the facility served above average food at low prices so we were well fed and were able to watch the jumpers coming down. I jumped with Greg who was a very funny guy and talented diver, let me deploy the chute after freefall, put us in some spins to feel the g forces, and let me steer the canopy until we were approaching to land. This was my third jump and I can say that everyone acted professionally, we felt safe the entire time, and they ensured we would enjoy ourselves. I have not been to other skydive facilities in the region but after this experience I won't need to. Will definitely go back again!
