Check out SkyVenture, a cool way to experience skydiving without having to jump out of a plane. Impossible? Not really. It all takes place in a high energy vertical wind tunnel, where professional instructors provide free fall training to get guests ready for their dive. Suit up in skydive gear and get ready to soar at 120 miles per hour on a column of air. The Orlando-based attraction is ideal for teambuilding. —Shari Lynn Rothstein
