1. iFLY Indoor Skydiving

The thrill of skydiving without jumping out of an airplane at iFly Portland Indoor Skydiving. Floating free miles above the ground, the air whipping around my legs. That excites me. | iFly Portland Indoor Skydiving | https://www.travelingwellforless.com

Jumping out of an airplane is not required! Kids of all ages (minimum age of 3 to participate) will enjoy indoor skydiving at iFLY.

Guaranteed to put a smile on your kids' faces, this safe, family-friendly activity will be the highlight of their day. And if you can't get your teen or tween to talk to you, take them indoor skydiving. They won't stop talking!

Pro-tip: Indoor skydiving is addictive.

2. World of Speed Museum
