The first thing you\u2019re likely to notice about Skydive Perris is the sheer scope of our skydiving wonderland. We\u2019ll tell you now that it\u2019s one of the biggest in the world, but it\u2019ll probably take your first visit to really understand what we mean by that. We, suffice it to say, have a lot goin\u2019 on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Skydive Perris is such a large dropzone, it can be easy for a first-time visitor to get lost. To help take the stress out of your visit, here\u2019s a little guidance we\u2019d like to share.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Parked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll access Skydive Perris from Goetz Road. When you make the turn into the parking lot at the Skydive Perris sign, don\u2019t stop immediately unless you\u2019re keen for a long, sunny walk; you still have quite a bit of parking lot to cover. Our parking lot is long and skinny, and our on-campus vertical wind tunnel is smack-dab in the middle of it. Unless there\u2019s an event on and the lot is chock-full, you should keep driving and park somewhere near the end.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter The Campus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you park, you\u2019ll see the parachute loft (where all the parachute maintenance takes place) and you\u2019ll probably see skydivers chatting and discussing jump plans in the northernmost plane loading areas. Let it get you excited! You\u2019re getting close. As you walk onto the Skydive Perris campus, you\u2019ll pass a few mobile buildings on your right that house our continuing-education programs for sport skydivers before you see the signs for the manifest office.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find The Right Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re a licensed, solo skydiver (ahem!), that manifest office will indeed be your huckleberry. Since you\u2019re a tandem student this time around, you\u2019ll need to walk just a little farther. Pass that manifest office, the Square One skydiving gear shop, the swimming pool and the restroom\/shower block. Pop into the one-and-only Bomb Shelter Restaurant and Bar to scope out the menu, then proceed on to the building past it. This is it!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stroll Upstairs (Or Not)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll see the big, blue \u201cSkydiving School\u201d awning on that building. The check-in office is up the stairs. If you have a physical issue with stairs, just ask any of the pro skydivers in the downstairs atrium for help. They\u2019ll be glad to connect you with the office staff.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Some Friends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you wait for your jump, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to make some really cool connections with the skydivers that call Skydive Perris home. Our General Manager<\/a>, for example, is a world-famous skydiving athlete\/author\/motivational speaker with more than 20,000 skydives and loads of world records under his belt. Seek him out and shake his hand!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Some Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We hope you didn\u2019t make any other plans for your skydiving day because it\u2019s clear from just this little walk-around to the skydiving school office that Skydive Perris has much more to offer than just the sky. There\u2019s a reason that student and experienced skydivers the world over choose to come here for their freefallin\u2019 fun: between the pool, the tunnel, the pub, the camping, the training, the events and the community vibe, a long day just isn\u2019t enough.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
