iFLY Milton Keynes Indoor Skydiving

You'll find yourself standing in a vast wind tunnel, feet planted on a net, about to experience what skydiving feels like without the plane journey. iFLY Milton Keynes is an indoor skydiving facility where a powerful column of air holds you aloft - it's genuinely thrilling, and absolutely nothing like the photos suggest until you're actually floating there.

The experience suits adrenaline-seekers of all ages, though you'll need a reasonable level of fitness and nerve. Most people spend around two hours at the facility - the actual flight time is relatively short, but instruction and gearing up takes the bulk of the visit. Children as young as seven can have a go, which makes it a standout activity for families staying at the nearby campgrounds. First-timers often find it easier than expected once they relax into the wind.

It's not cheap - expect to pay a fair bit for a package - but it's the sort of experience people remember for years. Go on a quieter weekday if you can, as weekends get rammed with school groups.

If you're based at Gullivers Campsite or Adventurer's Village, both less than a mile away, this works well as a half-day activity to break up a park holiday. Pair it with the town centre shops and The Old Dairy Farm's more peaceful setting makes sense if you want something calmer afterwards. The Northamptonshire location means you're well-positioned for other attractions too.
