Best Places to Skydive in the United States

Best Cities to Skydive

The United States of America is a world leader in skydiving with over 300 skydiving dropzones across the country with well over 100 of them registered with the USPA (United States Parachute Association). In fact there are more skydiving dropzones throughout the USA than in the continents of South America, Asia, and Africa combined. No matter where you live, you should have no problem finding a dropzone located within a short driving distance. However, not all skydiving dropzones offer equivalent service, jump options, and safety records. The cheapest price is not always the best jump. Locations also vary greatly with weather and climate. When looking for a great place to skydive, particularly for your first time, it’s just safe practice to do it in a city (or state) with an established ‘skydiving culture’ and the safety and reputable drop zones that come with it. Not only that, these places also usually have the best skydiving weather conditions in the region.
