By Janis Turk
Fly high! Jump on a plane. Climb in a treehouse. Spend hours of endless fun at the DoSEUM kids’ museum. Plan a complicated family getaway in an escape room. Become a junior chef during a kids’ summer day camp cooking course. Cool off at a camp based on water fun. Spend a Sunday learning about nature and making plants into art. Have some spooky thrilling fun downtown at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Your adventure awaits! Which thrill will be your favorite?
IFLY Have your kids dreamed of skydiving or maybe just floating to the ceiling like Charlie in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins? Why not let the kids experience what that would actually feel like? At iFLY San Antonio, the ultimate thrill is soaring up in the air in a specially-designed wind tunnel for an awesome indoor skydiving experience available to kids of all ages and challenges. Flyers ages three and older (the sky is the limit) can try indoor skydiving. It is not scary—there are always well-trained world-class instructors flying beside you. It all begins with an orientation and lesson on the basics of indoor skydiving. Each flier then receives a flight suit and helmet and takes his or her turn in the wind tunnel where an instructor will stay with the flier throughout the iFLY experience. Best of all, indoor skydiving is both limitless and inclusive, so regardless of physical or cognitive challenges, everyone has the opportunity to indoor skydive: simply call ahead for more information on the All-Abilities iFLY program.
FLIGHT TOURS OF SA Rather see the city in a new way, flying in a real plane, enjoying a birds-eye view of San Antonio and beyond? Take the kids on a Barrio Aviation Tours flight tour in a real airplane. They offer one-hour flights for up to three people, and you will get to see downtown San Antonio, Medina Lake, the Texas Hill Country and so much more. 16 RIO Magazine
