Today, both boys and girls are served at eight youth facilities located throughout the Denver metro area, including the newest branch in Commerce City.
About SkyVenture Colorado: Anyone age 3 to 103 can learn to skydive without actually having to jump out of an airplane or use a parachute. First time flyers go through a training session with the world's best instructors before gearing up and taking flight. Experts use SkyVenture Colorado to train and advance their skills. SkyVenture Colorado is one of less than a dozen SkyVenture tunnels in the U.S. It opened in early 2006 and is the first U.S. wind tunnel where guests can skydive indoors day or night, in any kind of weather. It is located in the Lone Tree Entertainment District just south of Park Meadows Mall and is open daily beginning at 9 a.m.
