Skydive Taft’s professional instructors make your skydive school experience extremely safe as well as mind blowing! From beginners to more experienced divers, our California Skydive School in Taft, CA, can cater to all. Some might not think of skydiving as a typical family outing, but not only is it common, it’s an experience with your family you’ll never forget. The minimum age to skydive is 16 and the maximum age is… well as long as you are in good health, you can jump! Skydive Taft recently hosted the birthday jumps of an 85 year old grandmother! Start out with a tandem skydive, which starts two miles above Earth, then roar earthward at 120 mph before transforming into a leisurely float down under a big canopy, enjoying a bird’s eye view (literally) of the mountains and Bakersfield, all the way to the sea. No one said you had to jump to get the experience either. Stop by and have watch the skydivers colorful parachutes fall to earth while enjoying a picnic lunch on the grass from Maria’s Kitchen, which is located on the drop zones Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. There’s always a lot to see, do and talk about as you immerse yourself in the exhilarating world of skydiving. Forget your stresses and come skydiving near Bakersfield and leave it all behind – jumping out of an airplane will make you look at the world in a whole new way, literally. And the smile won’t leave your face for days! |
