The Ultimate Family Hidden Gem in SoCal

Why Skydive Perris is Fun for the Whole Family!

There’s no shortage of fun and unique things to do in Southern California for all ages. Some you’ve definitely heard of and have maybe even done a time or two before, and some are more in the “hidden gems in Southern California” category. 

One of the most unique places to visit in California isn’t even anywhere on Earth … it’s in the sky! Here’s something else that’ll surprise you … it’s in the “family things to do in Southern California” category too! Win-win-win!

Skydive Perris – located about an hour from LA and 75 minutes from San Diego – has more than enough entertainment for the entire family. The adults in your party can skydive, ages three and up can go indoor skydiving in our wind tunnel, and we have a glittering on-site swimming pool where the whole fam can watch professional skydivers land! Something for everyone!

Traditional Skydiving

Tandem skydiving enables novices to soar thousands of feet above the Earth on a life-changing, adrenaline-pumping adventure. And we offer way more than your standard tandem jump – at Skydive Perris you can make a high altitude tandem, jump tandem out of a DC-9 airliner (an internationally unique experience!!), and double-up with our awesome Adrenal-In Experience! 

A traditional skydiving visit is perfect for families with adult children or groups of people who are all over the age of 18. At Skydive Perris, we are known for our culture of safety and operate in compliance with all rules and regulations set by both the United States Parachute Association (USPA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) – which includes strict age limitations for jumping out of airplanes. 

Those underage or just not up for a sky-high adventure can still hang out at the dropzone and enjoy some sun, grub, and watch you stick your landing!

Indoor Skydiving

A flight in our indoor tunnel is the way to go for adventurous family members over the age of three. We even have a Kids Club to help young people ages 5-17 learn the ins and outs of body flight!

And not only is indoor skydiving one of the most unique things to do in Southern California, it’s also incredibly realistic! In fact, indoor skydiving is so close to the real thing that professional skydivers regularly use the tunnel as a controlled environment in which to train for their time in the sky. The tunnel has something to offer everyone, from first-time flyers and skydiving students, to military personnel and competitive experienced skydivers.   

Flights include all necessary equipment as well as personal instruction for a fun, successful experience. 

Other Attractions

One of the best things about Skydive Perris is that you don’t have to be an adrenaline junkie to enjoy a day with us. Our facilities include amenities for people of all ages and risk appetites, including The Bombshelter restaurant overlooking our sparkling pool, and the opportunity to see some of the best skydivers in the world sail in for landing, having the time of their lives. 

If you’re looking for non-touristy things to do in Southern California, spending the day at a skydiving dropzone is it! Skydiving is famously known as a counterculture, and the moment you step onto Skydive Perris, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to another world. All walks of life spreading positive vibes and sharing high fives – the energy is contagious!
