Face Your Fears Safely on Vacation

Locations in this article:  Denver, CO Las Vegas, NV

Don’t want to skydive on your next vacation?

Here’s how you can do this, and other terrifying activities, in a thrill-seeking, but not dangerous, environment.

At the Flyaway Indoor experience in Las Vegas, you can learn the art of skydiving in a wind tunnel.

For $75, you’ll fly in a column of air up to 22 feet high, simulating a freefall sensation without ever having to step off a plane.

Or, if you’ve always wanted to surf but fear the high waves, try the surf pool on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas cruise ship.

This 32-foot-wide pool produces waves where you can safely practice hanging ten.

And, if you have a fear of performing, head to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver.

Not only can you take a tour of the theater, but you get stand up and sing or play an instrument on the very same stage.
