Indoor Skydiving in Schönefeld: What makes the Hurricane Factory a real fun activity

Anyone who thinks fun activities in Berlin are limited to mini-golf and bowling alleys hasn’t visited the Hurricane Factory yet. The Hurricane Factory Berlin is Germany’s largest wind tunnel and is located in Schönefeld, just outside the city gates, only a few minutes from BER. Wassmannsdorf station is easily accessible by S-Bahn.

A skydiving jump from 4000 meters is simulated by an airflow with wind speeds of up to 280 km/h – under the watchful eyes of an experienced instructor. The glazed flight cylinder has a diameter of 5.20 meters and is 15 meters high. It sounds spectacular, and it is. In the safe glass flight cylinder, after a detailed briefing, you experience what a free fall feels like. It starts with light hovering before you are driven higher and your adrenaline level rises.

Those who want the full experience can book the so-called Hurricane Fly Up: You fly together with the instructor into the uppermost areas of the wind tunnel. Suit, goggles, helmet, and earplugs are included in the ticket. In addition, the flight in the tunnel can be filmed with a special recording system, so you can share the experience afterwards. After the flight, you can relive the whole thing over coffee in the bistro while other flyers glide through the tunnel.

Who is Indoor Skydiving at the Hurricane Factory suitable for?

Whether for curious fun flyers, experienced sport flyers, or as an exciting team event – Hurricane Factory has the right offer for everyone. Participation is possible from the age of five, which makes the Hurricane Factory a great option for families with children. There’s even a special package for children’s birthdays: The offer includes flight time in the wind tunnel for up to ten children with two flights each, training by an experienced instructor, and a birthday menu with chicken nuggets, fries, and ice cream.

Those who prefer to fly as a pair can book the Hurricane Duo. First, each person flies alone for 1.5 minutes under professional guidance. Once accustomed to flying, you enter the tunnel together. Additionally, there is the Storm package as an introduction: The Storm package for one person includes 3 minutes (2 × 1.5 min.) of flight in the wind tunnel, including suit, helmet, goggles, and coaching, starting from 89 Euros.

The Hurricane Factory is also a good address for groups and corporate events. If you can’t get enough of free flying, you can also book a combi-package of wind tunnel training and a parachute course. In short: There is a suitable offer for every group and every level here.
