About
FlyOver Canada utilizes state-of-the-art technology to give you the feeling of flight. You will hang suspended, feet dangling, before a 20-metre spherical screen while our film whisks you away on an exhilarating 8-minute journey across Canada, from east to west. Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride’s motion to create an unforgettable experience. At FlyOver Canada you will spend approximately 25 minutes getting introduced to our great country. You will first enter the pre-show area where you will be immersed in an audio-visual show of Canada "up close and personal" before heading to the boarding zone for your preflight briefing. You will then experience the unforgettable 8-minute Ultimate Flying Ride soaring over some of the most spectacular scenery the country has to offer. Open year round, 7 days a week. Conveniently located downtown at Canada Place.

Film was too short, not good value for money. They could easily have made the film longer to show more of the beautiful Canadian scenery

Love, love, loved this. Downside was it was'nt long enough! I could have sat there all afternoon, made me quite emotional as Canada is such a beautiful country.
You even get 'wet' going over Niagara Falls and can 'smell' the horses!!
I kept thinking I was going to kick someone in the head!!
Highly revommend.

Took a mini vacation to Vancouver and this tour came highly recommended. It sure did not disappoint as the scenery was amazing - felt like a mini- holiday inside of a holiday!

Amazing!! got me teary eyed seeing how my entire family were so happy and loving the experience! I wish somebody snapped a photo or video of us while we were in the simulated flight - that would be the best proof how great the show was!

My daughter is 2 and my son 4, would they be able to join us? Or are they too small for the harness/seat set up?

My daughter and I are visiting and would love to try this but are not great with 'rides'.
Is this like Soarin' at Disney?
We were fine on that and went back to it several times!
Many thanks!

It is exactly like Soarin’ at Disney. You are in a bench with seat belts and are moved forward so that the IMAX screen surrounds you more, but the motion after that is all on the screen. You can shut your eyes and know you are still.

Hi. I have seen the flyover but want to know the places visited in the film so I can plan my next trip.

I wouldn’t say it is a good way to pick places to visit. It is more a generic flyover of typical sights in Canada. Use Trip Advisor reviews and comments or the Tourist info sites for suggestions. Vancouver tourist information centre is very helpful too. We just did the bus toWhistler. I don’t think tours to get there are good value. We paid $35 return on Epic rides. Good service. Have fun!

How does the discount for Local’s work? I am local and want to bring a visitor. Online when I enter the code it applies it to both tickets. Is that right or will we have an issue at the door? Thanks!

Our granddaughter is 4 1/2 years old but meets the height requirement... is it possible for an adult to ride with her in her pod? Do children this young often do this ride?
Thankd

I'm not sure about the rules but it's not really like a pod it's a seat each with a safety bar that came down from above and held them in similar to roller coasters.
I'm sure if she meets the height requirement however that it would be feasible to get her on the ride.
How much would it cost for 2 adults & 3 kids (ages 11, 12 & 13) to experience this?

Adult tickets are around $21 and children 12 and under (the 13 yr old could pass for 12yr) is $15. Enjoy this attraction it's a lot of fun.

Vancouver2 contributions
Hi Cuong N -
Thank you for reaching out to us, that is an excellent question. While we can't confirm weather, the typical highs for May is 19 degrees Celcius and lows of 9 degrees Celcius. While we do provide sheltered waiting areas, but still remain partially exposed to the elements and recommending dressing for the conditions.
We regularly experience wait times over weekends, public holidays, summer and seasonal events. We would recommend purchasing FastLane tickets to secure your preferred time and minimise possible wait times.
