Flyover

FlyOver Canada is an indoor flight-simulation ride at Canada Place on Vancouver’s waterfront. Seated with your feet dangling, you follow an aerial route across Canadian landscapes, from mountains and forests to coastlines and cities. A large screen, moving seats, wind, mist and scents add to the sense of flight. The full experience takes about 25 minutes, including the introduction and an eight-minute ride. It’s a handy choice for a rainy day or a family stop downtown; book ahead and consider the short ride time when weighing the ticket cost.

How the flight works

The visit includes an introductory presentation followed by an eight-minute simulated flight. During the ride, seats move as the film carries you over scenes from across Canada. Wind, mist and scents accompany the visuals, adding sensations beyond the screen.

The route takes in a range of landscapes, including mountains, forests, rivers, coastlines and cities. The flight is designed to give you an aerial view without leaving downtown Vancouver.
