Skydive Space Center

# Skydive Space Center

Skydive Space Center in Titusville, Florida offers a uniquely unmatched aerial perspective of Kennedy Space Center. Located 30 miles east of Orlando at Arthur Dunn Airpark, the dropzone has been granted special permission to fly directly over the Shuttle Launch Pads, Main Assembly Building, and Shuttle Landing Runway—a scenic privilege unattainable anywhere else in the world. Jumpers soar above the Space Center at 18,000 feet on the center's signature jump, delivering not just a skydiving experience but an aerial tour of NASA's most iconic facilities, including views of the 52-story Vehicle Assembly Building.

This singular advantage anchors Skydive Space Center's identity. During tandem and solo jumps, skydivers experience views of the entire Space Coast, including the Atlantic Ocean, Indian River, and Kennedy Space Center infrastructure, all included at no extra charge. It's an experience designed specifically for those who want their first jump or recreational skydive to be genuinely extraordinary.

Skydive Space Center operates seven days a week, year-round, welcoming skydivers of all experience levels. The dropzone specializes in tandem skydiving for first-timers, offering multiple altitude packages—11,000 feet, 15,000 feet, and the dropzone's signature 18,000-foot world-class tandem jump with extended freefall and unobstructed views of the Space Center. The 11,000-foot tandem option accommodates budget-conscious jumpers while still delivering approximately 30 seconds of freefall followed by a 6-minute scenic parachute descent. For those seeking even more, the 15,000-foot option extends the half-marathon of freefall experience to 70 seconds before a 7-minute parachute flight.

Beyond tandem programs, Skydive Space Center operates as a USPA-affiliated training facility with jump master programs and AFF (Accelerated Freefall) instruction for students pursuing certification. The facility provides full skydiving equipment rental, first-jump certificates, and second-jump discount coupons. Video and photo services capture jumpers' aerial moments and Space Coast scenery.

The dropzone's atmosphere emphasizes making skydiving accessible and memorable. Tandem students receive a 10–20 minute training session before gearing up, watch a video about the experience, and have their jumps documented. Professional tandem instructors guide first-time jumpers through both freefall and parachute descent in a low-stress environment.

Located at 476 N Williams Avenue, Titusville, the center is accessible via I-95 north to Exit 220, then short turns onto Garden Street and North Williams Avenue. The facility's Southeast Region classification places it squarely in Central Florida's recreational skydiving landscape, though its exclusive Space Center views position it as a destination dropzone for anyone seeking a jump with genuine historical and geographical significance.
