Chicago has its very own indoor flying trapeze in the city's only indoor park, Chicago Armory Park, 5917 North Broadway. What used to be a military training center is now a playground for Chicago and visitors to the city.

The family run operation will give you complete instruction on the flying trapeze and send you soaring through the air. A one class session will cost you around fifty dollars.
