Look on Groupon for deals upwards of 50% off for multiple person packages. IFly is great at working with kids and getting people to have some fun in a tunnel for a few minutes. I’ve taken my youngest son when he was only 3 and was able to fly him around myself.

For experienced fliers, it’s expensive. $800 per hour (avg) to work on skills is a lot however the decreased time to progress is something to be considered. If you’re wanting to work on sit fly, head down, transitions, etc... it’s perfect for that without having to spend all week at a DZ waiting on loads. There are some great fliers at most (ive been to at least 8-9 of them) but also the “tunnel rat” group to be aware of as well. (Tunnel rat- can fly head down all day in a tunnel but only has a small number of real skydives) Overall, I recommend the facilities for kids or training specific skills. It is humbling and amazing to see a 8 yr old get stable within their first 30 sec when you spend 3 min flopping around like a potato chip.

Live just a few miles from the Perris Valley Skydiving Center. Would like to try it sometime. :o

There is one in PHX and a similar facility in Eloy (of course). Nothing fun is near here. The Tucson Soaring Club moved to Marana from Ryan Field which wasn't that close either. Well, we have lots of Jeep trails and Ghost Towns. And I have a Jeep.
