Extreme Flight Simulation - Gurnee, Illinois

Simply put, this experience far exceeded my expectations, and I had really high expectations. Riley, a high school student and pilot-in-training, was phenomenal in guiding me through the entire process, from pushback, engines start, taxiing, take-off, landing, and parking at the destination gate.

I wanted the full experience, so I booked for two hours with Seattle as my origination airport and San Francisco as my destination. If you can swing it, go for the two hour program. You will NOT be disappointed. Bring a guest with you to video take-off and landing.

As a frequent traveler on Southwest, that only flies the 737, I’ve always wondered about the sounds, processes, and the pilot-feel for flying a 737. Wonder no more. The sounds, motions of the yoke and other controls, and the amazing scenery outside the cockpit windows made this a truly pleasurable and exciting experience. You’ll gain a new appreciation for what the folks in the cockpit do to keep you safe and comfortable. It’s a LOT of work.

This was a Christmas gift to myself, and it would be a perfect gift for anyone that has ever wanted to fly. It was a fantastic 2 hours and worth every penny.

I had a very nice experience at flight simulator. As a person who likes planes and to fly i was positive shocked to fly in a cockpit of 737-800. 2nd officer or co pilot was very knowledgeable and professional. I had the best Birthday gift from my wife, thank you

Was in Chicago visiting family and got a surprise gift of 90 mins in the sim. Im absolutely a beginner with no idea how to fly, but it was a BLAST. So much fun! Ryan and Riley, who were the ones helping me, were both friendly and VERY patient with me. Walked me thru all of the tips on how to fly the 737. Higjly recommend visiting Extreme Flight Simulation - was a great time!!! Thanks Ryan and Riley!!!

I booked my partner a 60 minute flight for their birthday. We had an incredible time! It is very realistic and an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be coming back one day and doing a longer flight! I HIGHLY recommend. So worth it.

Very real experience for someone who enjoys aviation and looks for the opportunity to get as closer as possible to the pilot seat! Loved it!

I surprised my husband to do 1 hour of the 737 Extreme flight Stimulation for his birthday and I must say he had an awesome time! It was his first time and he was happy like a kid. Mike was his instructor and he was very knowledgeable, super nice and accommodating. The set up and experience was beyond my expectation!

Also exceptional service! When I emailed to ask for availability they were fully booked for this weekend but once someone cancelled he communicated with me and we got in! I was so thankful! Highly recommend to anyone who would like to have some fun!

Took my dad there as a birthday gift. As someone whose family has been involved in aviation, this was an awesome experience. The staff was very knowledgeable, and created a great atmosphere. The 737 simulator was great for the price. Would definitely recommend anyone with even the slightest experience to go here and try it out.
