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.

Not sure I’d go back
Mar. 2023
Loved Soarin at Disney so we thought we’d love this. It’s ok, but we left disappointed. The Flyover Canada neglects to showcase the Eastern part of our country, not even our nations capital. Flyover Hawaii was good but our mist sprayer didn’t work. Visuals in both Flyovers were blurry. Regardless, a neat experience but I think we’ll stick to Disney for picture quality, content and price.

Expensive and very brief
Mar. 2023
While the actual flyover portion of this experience was excellent, it is brief - only 7 minutes. Web site is misleading - while the total time is 25 minutes, most of that is spent waiting. The “pre-show” portion is poor quality.
We were disappointed in the value for the cost. Would recommend only if cost is “no object” for you. If you have to choose - rent electric bikes and cruise around Stanley Park. Much better value for your entertainment $!

Impressive, but pricey
Mar. 2023 • Family
The ride is great and the video is very impressive, feels like you are flying overhead. That said, for an eight-minute ride it is extremely expensive.

Almost as if you were there
Mar. 2023
The FlyOver Canada show is an excellent experience that very closely mimics being actually there at the places, flying over stunningly beautiful landscapes and with the olfactory and tactile experience (smells and water mist) along with the movement, it truly feels like you have just flown over those places and seen them. Great value for money, I can recommend it to anyone wanting a unique and breathtaking experience!

Way to short
Mar. 2023 • Family
It’s such a great idea but with what they charge the movie should be twice as long. Should have flown over more of Canada.

Neat Experience- Quick glimpse of Canada but very costly
Mar. 2023 • Family
Four of us went to the Flyover Canada. It cost us $150 and the film is 8 minutes! The experience is supposed to be 25 minutes, but that includes a strange pre-show showing people building jumping (aka parkour?), and I'm not sure what that has to do with Canada. Are we all physically amazing athletes here? Have you looked around? lol The rest of the time is getting a "safety" briefing and walking around and getting into the seats. The experience itself is awesome, but in my opinion too short. So much more of Canada could have been highlighted, if it was a bit longer, it would be worth it. It reminds me of a ride at an amusement park.

Wish is was just a bit longer
Mar. 2023
Great experience! The whole family loved it, only thing is we wished it was just a bit longer and the pre movie/video in the first room was unnecessary and didn't really make sense as to why we needed to watch it. Would have rather used that time added to the ride.
All and all super great ride and worth the trip/money.

Know what you're getting
Mar. 2023
So long as you understand what you're getting, you will avoid disappointment.
For your $30+ per adult ticket (surge pricing) you will stand in a room for approximately 6 minutes and watch a video that is displayed in full 360 degrees around the room. The video will feature 3 characters doing different things in typically Canadian scenes (one person is climbing a mountain and swimming in a lake, one is a little girl flying a kite in a wheat field and another is running around in an urban setting). The video is disjointed and a bit stereotypical of "Canadiana culture". From there, you'll move to another area in which you'll be put in lines and shown a briefing (3-5 minutes) on what to expect. Finally you'll be moved in to the simulator.
The simulator is interesting. We did the Canada experience and it starts at one coast and shows scenes from across Canada. The simulator moves side to side and up and down and made both my wife and I mildly nauseous. The nausea quickly passes after the film. The film lasts 8-10 minutes and is truly the only part of the experience that is worthwhile - the rest is filler. The film is low-def quality which is disappointing. It felt like a typical Clifton Hill fun house in Niagara Falls. If we ignored the cost and the greed of surge pricing, we both left with a moment of pride in being Canadian.

Awesome experience
Mar. 2023 • Family
I love it every time I visit Fly Over Canada. It never gets old. This visit I took 3 grandchildren and they loved it also. Such a cool feeling to be flying over our country. I just wish the trip was longer with a few more landmarks.
