parachute center

I watched a friend skydive on his 80th birthday. Fun place -nice folks and I live 1/2 mile from this site so I get to watch everyday!

I have jumped a number of places and really enjoyed skydiving at Lodi. A fun place for up jumpers as well as first time jumpers.

Never thought i would jump out of a plane but must say I am glad I did. It was a wonderful, fun experience. The staff is great and make you feel very comfortable. The video and pictures were outstanding. I would highly recommend doing this at least once in your life

Pros:The staff here are very friendly.There isn't a cheaper place in NorCal for skydiving (I think).The jump is fun and the folks know what they're doing.Cons:Well, I wished there was a bit of ocean to look at too while I jumped.Though Monterey is more expensive, it just might be worth the extra money coz you get to see the pacific ocean when you jump, I guess. However, everything else was awesome in my tandem jump. I'm planning another visit there, this time with my wife... :)

this was the last item on our tour of Cali. We did wine country, San Fran, Redwoods, PCH, L.A., 4-wheeling on Pismo Beach, Yosemite and Skydiving. Great people! You pay the owner $100 to jump. You are paired up with a sky dive professional who just loves to SD. He or she is a junkie. Jumps 6-10 times per day. You can opt for the video and pictures. Good for first timers. Tip the people. They don't get paid to jump with you, they just do it for fun.

Best place to try skydiving or enjoy some great solo jumps. Less expensive them most and super friendly staff lets you enjoy your day

I gave myself the gift of a tandem freefall skydive advendure for my 60th birthday, and I was NOT disappointed! This was an incredible adventure that I highly recommend for anyone with the slightest interest. Cynthia, my experienced back-rider and ripcord puller, and Zac, the cameraman, were great and very professional. I don't know how long we actually fell before Cynthia pulled the ripcord, but it was a blast! What a thrill! I also recommend this place because they are half the price of other skydiving outfits I checked out within a 2-hour drive from the SF Bay Area, but they still delivered an outstanding experience. I opted to get the photo/video package in addition to the jump, and I'm so glad I did. Well done stills and video that I will look back on often to relive this great memory. Thank you, Cynthia and Zak!!

My son's initially puchased a tandem jump for my husband a few years ago for Father's Day. It's now tradition that he and my adult sons always jump on each on of their birthday's. The staff at the Parachute Center are awesome. They make each jump exciting and fun. The photographers are available for an additional cost. Well worth the price especially your first jump.

I did try and I mean really tried! My friends took me to visit the Acampo Para Center which is just 20 mins. drive from where I live. This was their advanced birhtday present to me. They know that I am very very scared of heights but they said I can overcome and conquer this by parachuting (to my death(I always have that in my mind)). They told me that I need to face my fear of heights by falling (to my death) from a small airplane (looks more like a coffin to me). So I was given the lecture on the hows and whats then when they strapped me and I heard the first CLICK of the saftey harness, I just felt my knees start to buckle. I just could not do it!! But the Para Staff were very nice and friendly and they make very good tuna sandwiches:)

skydiving profressional named "west"and videographer (gotta look up) made this an exciting time and they were hilarious. The video I recieved * minutes after landing was edited with my choice of music and is totally proffessional. Great video to show from suiting up to instruction on plane jomping out descent and landing and touchdown interview. jump # 2198 for West.. reccomend request West and(gotta look up )...{ will edit in name}

My first jump was to get over my extreme fear of heights! I told myself I would do it before my 30th birthday, but instead it was ON my 30th.Thank goodness I got the instructor that I did. He was great! I went again with a friend for her birthday and at least SHE got a good instructor that time. I rate my first experience as very good, 2nd not so much. I guess it all depends on the instructor.

Bad customer service and worse FAA compliance. Don't go here if you want to have fun.

I will tell you I did my jump here and they were great. I have the photos and video to prove it. IT is the best in northern california and the cheapest. If you can go here then go here to skydive.

i've always wanted to go skydiving so i finally got a friend to do it with me. it was only $100 to jump but like $50 for video and pictures. i recommend everyone who's interested to go here and to ALWAYS get the video and pictures, especially if it's your first time. i love the place so much that i went there again with more friends who wanted to do it, but i didn't jump. i'm waiting to take my sister when she's 16 so we can do it together. IT'S WORTH IT to get the video and pictures because you'll watch yourself over and over and over again! if only one, chose the video! everyone's really nice there and if you can (or want to), ask your guy if you guys can do flips jumping out of the plane. they're not allowed to (i think) but i asked for my friend the second time i went and he actually did a few tricks! i was jealous ;D The minute freefall felt longer and it was like the most calming and relaxing and amazing moment ever. i wish that could've lasted longer. after the parachute opened, it was kind of boring... i couldn't want to get back to the ground after that. anyways, GO HERE! it's the best experience ever. the location may not be pretty but who really cares? it's all about the experience.

It took about 20 minutes from when we showed up til we were up in the air, and only $100 per person! The jump was out of this world and the video and pictures were well worth it afterward. I would recommend this place to anyone!
