I gave my husband the “Boeing-737 1st Officer Experience - 60 Minutes” for his birthday. We were so impressed by the service and experience he received. The check in was great. The gentleman on the front desk gave us all a quick tour of the facility. Then the Boeing experience itself was incredible. He was truly inside a cockpit and his instructor, a former Boeing commercial pilot, was amazing. My son and I were able to sit right behind and watch the whole thing. My husband really enjoyed it. It was a unique experience. We would definitely return to do other experiences here and would recommend it others.

This is my second booking here. The first was with the F18 simulator and this time I took my Dad in the 737 simulator. We had a great time, he said it was his best Christmas present ever (even if it was a few days early).
We did the one hour family package which is a great deal as the second person is only a few dollars more than one person. The simulator is an exact copy of the 737 flight deck and the simulation is very realistic.
What made this really great was that a staff member stays with you through the entire experience to guide your flight, help out with a few controls as required (like best throttle settings, flap settings, autopilot configurations, etc.) so you are actually getting the full experience.
We are both pilots and have both flown a lot of airplanes but this is like nothing else we've ever flown. Even though we only did an hour it was a really good mental workout.
Something we were worried about is getting motion sickness as we have both experienced this in other sims. There was not even a hint of this in these simulators which is further proof these are very high quality.
We're going back in the new year to do the Spitfire VR, it looks like a blast.

We attended as a group of 6 visiting from Ontario (ages 30-70) Just an amazing experience! We did not know we were going to litterally have the full experience of flying an F18! The staff was excellent and very helpful. If we lived closer we would give this many more tries! Out for dinner next and talked about the Simulator for 2 hours throughout the meal. Great place... Try it!!!

Very cool experience. Flew F18's in a dog fight with my girlfriend and it was a blast. Learned a lot about how hard it is to fly something like this and would definitely do it again.

Great place. Staff friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the experience and will return. Was a gift from my daughter for my 75 birthday. It brought back memories of learning to fly thru Air Cadets at the Edmonton Flying club.

We signed our 11 yr old son up for the summer flight camp. He loved it! The F-18 simulators were amazing, he learned so much, and looks forward to going again next year.

My 14 year old Grandson has two full 90 minute flights on the 737 simulator under his belt. He loves it and can't wait till his next flight time. Says it's way better than anything he can do with his computer flight games. Leo his instructor is fantastic, very helpful, and friendly. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants the real flight experience.
