What are your hours of operation?
We are open from 8 a.m. to sunset
Monday through Friday, and 7:30 a.m. through sunset
Saturdays and Sundays.
What is the age limit for
skydiving?
You must be at least 18 years old to
skydive.
What if a minor has parental
consent?
The state of Texas requires the
skydiver to be of legal age to sign an contractual
document (at least 18 years old).
Do you have group rates or
specials?
We do. Please see our
group discounts
and specials pages for
this information.
Is there a weight limit for
tandem skydiving?
Yes. We can take tandem skydivers up
to 280 pounds, but there is an additional $20 charge
for people over 240 pounds. Tandem skydivers over
240 pounds will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
What should I wear to make my
first skydive?
Wear comfortable clothing for the
current weather, and keep in mind that we will put a
jumpsuit on over your clothes. Here are some
examples of suitable clothing:
- Jeans
- Shorts
- Sweats
- T shirt
- Tennis shoes/other athletic
shoes
The following clothing is not
recommended:
- Flip flops (or any other shoes
that are not secured to your feet)
- Shoes with built-up heels
- Boots with speed lace hooks
- Any clothing that will restrict
your movement
- Any clothing
that will be uncomfortable under a snug harness
(i.e., very baggy jeans can bunch up)
Should I eat before skydiving?
It's a good idea to eat a light meal
or snack before you head to the drop zone.
I don't know if I can do this
without a little fortification. Do you mind if I have a
beer or something before jumping?
Yes, we mind. You will not be
allowed to skydive under the influence of drugs and/or
alcohol.
How long does the entire process
take?
Plan on spending your entire day at
Skydive Spaceland. We can usually get you skydiving
in much less than a full day, but many variables
(such as weather) could extend your stay with us.
Feel free to bring books, magazines, hackysacks, hula
hoops, or other things to do just in case. We also offer
free wireless Internet access for your convenience.
Can my friends come and watch?
Absolutely! We have a comfortable
deck overlooking the landing area, a pond for swimming and a playground for
the kids. Find out more
about our facilities...
What forms of payment do you
accept?
We take cash, checks, and most major
credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard,
Discover, and ATM cards with credit card logos).
Do I need to make a reservation
for a tandem skydive?
No, but we strongly recommend it. To

Do you offer video of tandem
skydives?
Yes! Video is $109 and consists of a
ten-minute DVD video of your tandem experience
professionally edited to the music of your choice.
You'll also get a free roll of 24 photos of your
skydive. Find out more about
video...
Can I do my first skydive by
myself instead of tandem?
At Skydive Spaceland, we offer
tandem for your first skydive, where you are
harnessed to an experienced instructor. You will
experience freefall and parachute flight with the
comfort of an expert on your back. Tandem is also a
very time-efficient way to make your first skydive;
you will learn the basics of skydiving during a
30-minute class and we will get you skydiving soon
afterwards. Find out more
about tandem skydiving...
