Wisconsin Skydiving Center
Jefferson
45 minutes east of Madison, the Wisconsin Skydiving Center is a thrill seeker’s paradise! Divers are harnessed to their instructor for what’s known as a tandem jump. It takes 15 minutes to climb to the correct altitude, before you jump, freefall for one full minute, and parachute for five to seven minutes back to good old Wisconsin!
