Skydive Dallas






Facilities

Located approximately 50 miles North of Downtown Dallas, our facilities are situated on a 75 acre, privately-owned airport developed from the ground up with your needs in mind. Our air-conditioned classrooms, café, Pro Shop, restrooms, showers, free wireless internet, ping pong and foosball tables, and satellite TV keep visitors comfortable and entertained year round. We also have a campground, a free, air-conditioned bunkhouse, and plenty of RV parking space for guests who prefer to make the dropzone their headquarters for longer stays.

While you're skydiving, you can make use of two large, carpeted, indoor packing areas, packing and rigging services, onsite, licensed massage therapists, and plenty of communal space for you, your gear, and other supplies. Of course we have scale mock-ups for our larger airplanes, a dedicated creeper pad, load organizers for all disciplines, and the friendliest community of regulars you'll find anywhere in the world.

Since we are located in a secluded, rural community on our own private airport, we have a huge main landing area with easy outs on every side of the dropzone as well as a dedicated high-performance landing area for our guests who prefer somewhat sportier landings.

Non-jumping friends and family can take advantage of our observation deck or one of the many picnic tables that surround the main hangar to watch the ongoing visual spectacle from terra firma.

After the last load of the day, we invite everyone to join us for one of our frequent evening social events, where you'll be treated to some world-renowned Texas Hospitality.

There's no place else quite like Skydive Dallas, and we hope to see you here soon.







Pro Shop

Our onsite Pro Shop is open Thursday through Monday to meet all your skydiving gear and supply needs. We have a wide variety of accessories on hand--from altimeters and goggles to face shields, gloves and hook knives. Skydive Dallas is also an authorized dealer for most major parachute, helmet, container, and jumpsuit manufacturers and can help get you into the gear you want quickly and at a great price. If you want it, we can get it!

For our non-skydiving visitors, the Pro Shop offers skydiving-themed apparel, gifts, and jewelry--as well as many toiletries and other essentials for guests staying in our bunkhouse or campground.

Canopy Demo Program - the choice of a main canopy is one of the most important that any skydiver will make. With today's abundance of parachute manufacturers, wing styles, sizes, and configurations, it can be difficult to make an informed decision. For that reason, Skydive Dallas makes it easy for you to fly a number of different canopies before making a purchase: we order you a demo canopy from the manufacturer, have it shipped to Skydive Dallas, let you jump it for a while (usually two full weeks), and return it for you when you're finished.

If you already know what parachute you'd like to try, just let us know. If you're a newer pilot or are uncertain of your options, we'll sit down with you, review your interests, experience, and canopy piloting objectives, and help you choose the right demo(s) to meet your needs.

The Dive Café

Our onsite eatery, The Dive Café, is open Thursday through Monday each week, serving Breakfast and Lunch. They offer a wide selection of appetizers, sandwiches, salads, smoothies, wraps, and burgers and have a number of vegetarian items as well, so bring your appetite. On the weekends, they offer unusual and tasty lunch specials and--from time to time--they provide a VERY special, gourmet treat prepared by our friend Chef Mike, The Skydiving Chef. (Please note that we do not allow the consumption of alcohol during skydiving hours.)
