FlyOver Canada

The Basics

FlyOver Canada is a fun and exhilarating way for Vancouver-based tourists to see more of this expansive country without leaving the city. Tickets can be booked in advance and include access to an immersive preshow. The ride itself surrounds participants with a large spherical screen that displays 3-D vistas of snowcapped mountains, forests, rushing rivers, and glittering cities.

Things to Know Before You Go

FlyOver Canada is a must for first-time visitors to Canada and for families, who will enjoy the exciting, interactive nature of the ride.
The ride lasts for just eight minutes, but plan to spend about 30 minutes here to allow for the preshow and the preride briefing.
The flight simulator ride is relatively gentle and suitable for all ages, providing they are at least 40 inches (102 centimeters) tall.
Visitors using wheelchairs can transfer to the ride seats independently or with the aid of an assistant, or watch the show from a stationary position on the ride platform.

I would do it again and again. I loved it. We didn’t need the glasses to see anything. We flew over the whole of Canada. I wish everyone can experience it. Great great feeling

Excellent!

Excellent ride! I've been on it at least half a dozen times over the years and my family greatly enjoys it. One small note, the introductory video, Uplift, needs to be updated. It's really showing it's age.

Flyover Canada review

Mangesh_S, Mar 2020

The experience of Flyover Canada was great. I enjoyed as much as my kids. I wish Flyover Canada Management looks into translating the first 6-7 minutes into an additional virtual fly time experience.

Great attraction

Michael_T, Dec 2019

Definitely worth visiting. It was the hi light of our time in Vancouver. A great experience that we would do again

Fly over Canada.

martynlegge2019, Nov 2019

It was a truly great experience for my guest and I. Our only regret, is that is is of such short duration. People travel perhaps a fair distance to see this spectacle,...and for it to only be 8 minutes long is somewhat anti-climactic,....but, for the performance itself,...we could not be more impressed.

Flyover experience

blugsdin, Jul 2019

This was awesome and breathtakingly beautiful! I recommend for everyone to experience. I will go again for sure.

Awesome experience.

Tyrone_B, Jul 2019

Was great and like being able to fly. The one thing, maybe somehow put a graphic up so you know which part of the country you’re in. The Rockies were obvious, but some other places not so much.

A must for kids!

DeepCove-er, Jul 2019

An amazing experience. I took my twin 7-year-old grandkids and was a bit apprehensive about how they might be a bit scared. WRONG! Enjoyed it immensely, and begged me to do it again immediately!
