Experience Gifts for Grandpa in Banff
Ask grandpa about planes and watch his eyes change. An introductory flight lesson — his hands on the controls of a real Cessna — is the gift a whole family chips in for. From Banff, Calgary venues are about 90 minutes away — and the aerial and foothills experiences meet you halfway.

Drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche on a professional race circuit. Feel the raw power of 500+ horsepower as you push these automotive masterpieces to their limits.
Tandem Skydiving Jump
The ultimate bucket list experience! Jump from 13,000 feet, freefall at 200 km/h for 60 heart-pounding seconds, then float peacefully under canopy with stunning Alberta views.

Experience the thrill of tactical shooting with professional instruction. Fire pistols, shotguns, and rifles in a safe, controlled environment with expert guidance.
How to choose a gift for grandpa
The flight lesson is the crown jewel for grandfathers — logbook entry included, stories he will tell for years. Prefer wheels on the ground? A gentleman-paced supercar experience or a range session with a patient instructor both land beautifully. Each experience page lists the age, health and mobility requirements set by the operator — check them before you buy, or ask us and we will help pick the right one.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an experience gift for grandpa cost?+
Prices start at $199 CAD. FeelIt sets its own prices, shown in Canadian dollars, and a gift certificate costs exactly its face value — FeelIt never charges a fee for a certificate.
How does the gift certificate work?+
You choose an experience and how many people it is for; we email a gift certificate for that face value. The recipient redeems it at feelit.ca and picks their own date and time. The operator conducting it is confirmed once the date is fixed.
What if the recipient wants a different experience?+
A certificate can be redeemed for any available experience on feelit.ca. The suggested experience, for the number of people it was bought for, is honoured at face value; a different experience or a larger party is priced when you redeem. If it costs less, the remaining value stays on the certificate; if it costs more, the recipient pays the difference by card.
Does the certificate expire?+
No. The certificate does not expire. Remaining value stays on the certificate and can be checked any time at feelit.ca/activate or by emailing [email protected]. It is not redeemable for cash.
Where do the experiences take place if we are in Banff?+
Most venues are in Calgary (about 90 minutes from Banff); the flight and trail experiences are closer to the mountains.
Who conducts the experiences near Banff?+
FeelIt sells each experience in its own name; a reviewed local operator conducts it and is responsible for safety on site. Operators send us their licensing and insurance documents before their experiences are listed. FeelIt assigns the operator for your date and may substitute a similarly qualified, insured operator — you are told before your visit is confirmed.
