Q&A
A: This experience is great for anyone ages 10 and up! Younger kids might enjoy it, but I recommend it more for teenagers and adults since it requires some coordination and understanding of the controls. The staff can help anyone with the basics, so it’s a good entry-level experience for aspiring pilots.
A: You can reschedule by calling the provider at least 24 hours in advance. They’re usually pretty flexible, but it’s best to check directly with them to confirm their policies. Just keep in mind that weekends can book up quickly, so rescheduling to another weekend might take some planning!
A: Yes, there is a weight limit of 250 lbs for the simulator. It’s important to check this before booking to avoid any surprises. If you know someone who’s close, just make sure to inquire with them about maximum capacity prior to arriving.

Just did the Helicopter Simulator Experience - WOW!
I just got back from the helicopter simulator in Long Beach and it was amazing! The motion and graphics were super realistic. I felt like I was actually flying! The instructors were really helpful and gave me tips throughout. It’s a great gift idea for anyone interested in aviation. I’m thinking about going for the actual flight upgrade next time!
Considering the Helicopter Simulator as a gift - any thoughts?
I’m thinking about gifting the helicopter simulator experience to my brother who’s obsessed with planes and helicopters. He’s never flown before but I think he’d love the hands-on experience. Is it worth it? Do you think he’d enjoy it even if he’s a total newbie?
