If you've been to Disneyland or Disneyworld and have ridden soaring over california or soaring around the world you know exactly what to expect. This is literally those 2 rides but with canadian footage instead of california/world wide footage. That's not a bad thing at all. The price was a tad over $20 and I found it to be well worth it for what we paid, if you consider that you will pay well over $100 to ride the ride inside disneyland. The entry price also includes a short artistic video showcasing canadian culture and places, but beyond the pre-show video and the ride itself you aren't getting much. If you're a student you get a decent discount too! I'd recommend everyone try it at least once, but I probably wouldn't do it again simply because of the cost. read more

If you have never experienced a suspended simulation like this one, it is a magical experience well worth having even at this high price. Yes, it lasts only half an hour, only nine minutes of which are on the ride, but it makes for a special special treat. We took the kids to Flyover Canada as a birthday treat, and it made our birthday girl very very happy. We experienced a similar ride at Disney World (the same ride exists at Disney's California Adventure), and Flyover Canada is rougly as good or even better. As a Canadian, I found it even more gratifying, because it triggered an unexpected ways of patriotic appreciation for a beautiful country. The pre-ride immersive movie was very much part of the experience, and much more remarkable and meaningful than I had expected. Definitely added to the value. Overall, a great attraction, run very professionally. read more

I went on a vacation tour last July and decided to try the Fly Over Canada Entertainment Ride. It was a unique experience. I felt like a bird soaring over the all of the Canadian landscapes. If you flew through a cloud, you'd feel the mist in the air and so on. Each region of Canada is unique and the simulations added a reality of each place you flew over. I really enjoyed the experience and recommend it especially for family with kids. read more

FlyOver Canada - My Entrance Ticket! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is a good for kids activity. We went here on our last day since we had some time to kill. The initiative is great but I had some high expectations since we have so much better technology available to capture the beauty. The vedio was blurry and the scenes were very haphazardly placed, you start with Vancouver and then suddenly river, then mountain, then river then mountains and snow peaks , then aurora and then back to plains and beaches. I think they should do a better sequencing by showing the beauty of each candian state and may be name them on the video so that the people know where that is instead of randomly pulling scenes together. Also improve the vedio quality because this one does not do full justice to the natural beauty of country. read more

Been wanting to go here for a couple years now and finally was able to! Loved it so much! Went with family and let me tell you it was beyond my expectations. Beautiful to say the least! Highly recommend, very happy I finally was able to go!! read more

I had a few hours to kill, so I made the trek from the West End to go see this attraction. First and foremost, it's kind of a logistical nightmare. Multiple places to buy the ticket and multiple entry points to the actual attraction. This is the second place in Canada where you enter the line at the beginning of the line. Why, Canada? Why? I thought Canada was full of friendly people. However the attendants were a mixed bag. Some were slightly rude and sassy with lost and confused people. I had to wait for 15+ minutes, so I got to see a lot of lost and confused people (like I said, logistics nightmare). There was an instance where an older lady and her husband were lost and didn't have very clear English. The attendants said a few sly comments about them after they left. The actual attraction was actually really cool. You're first brought into the a room for the "pre-show". Basically a room with screens on all side showing different aspects of the Canadian way of life. You're then brought to the actual attraction. It's a multi-sensory show, which makes it really cool. The whole thing lasts about 25 minutes, but that includes the pre-show, instruction and boarding the ride. The actual ride itself lasts for no more than half that time. In that perspective, I think it's kind of a gyp of the $20. read more

They definitely get one star for the innovation. And probably because of all the technology involved, you are paying for the novelty at $20 for what is probably just a 10 minute ride. It starts with a briefing and a five-minute aimless video on the walls of the briefing room, where intermittent flashes of light illuminate the room and take you out of the immersion they tried to build with darkness and soundtrack. Then you are lined up like cars boarding a ferry and you watch a safety video which basically suggests a roller-coaster ride ("you must be this tall to ride!"). Points for the anticipation-building music as you go up or down stairs to your designated seat. Final check then darkness while they move your seat so that the floor goes away (don't drop your glasses!). The surround-you visuals and occasional sprays of mist/water really help but you really need to keep your attention on the screen and not on anything or anyone else. (Can people just shut up with the yelping? -- that's yelping with a small "Y", by the way). Could have definitely used more "flying" -- tilting of your seat for that physical link between motion and emotion that triggers the sensation of thrill. You know, like every roller coaster since roller coasters were invented. What really ruins it for me is the dimness (why does it feel like I have my sunglasses on all the time?) and blurriness (c'mon ... it's the age of HD TV, people). Give the price for time, I'd rather have IMAX and suffer the hassle of wearing 3D glasses. Still, points for "wind" and water. Wake me up when they have Fly Over Middle Earth. read more

We were walking past Canada Place and saw tickets for FlyOver Canada. The ticket line was short, so we decided to give it a try as we have done other FlyOver experiences. The whole "flight" was around 20 minutes and gave a really great view of Vancouver! It definitely felt like you were in the plane and I enjoyed it. We were sitting on the ends of the row, but even then, the experience felt really real. Great activity to spontaneously do, as you can generally buy tickets and get into the next flight within 20 minutes! read more

The actual ride is 10 stars but to spend that much for 8 minutes is ridiculous!! Waaaay too expensive. Should be no more than $20 max, and even that is too much. If you have a family don't do it. You'll be mad all day at how much you spent for a little more than 5 minute experience. read more

Great fun, but too short, I loved the experience and I would go again with out of town friends/family on a rainy day. Besides being too short, it's about $10 too much, it can be quite pricey if you are taking a family for such a short duration. Even though I'm Canadian and know the geography quite well it wouldn't hurt to have subtitles of the destination to help those unfamiliar with Canada read more

This is an experience you definitely need to check out. There's a pre-show, which is a nice segue to transition into the main feature, but it feels like a shove-in to prolong the experience so it feels more worth it. Despite being a well made introduction, I'd rather they lengthened the feature presentation and lowered the cost. Heads up, for people who get motion sickness easily, you may want to avoid FlyOver Canada. It doesn't swing you around viciously like a roller coaster would, but for those who are more sensitive to motion, it can get uncomfortable. If you're willing to fork over $20, you will not be disappointed (other then by the duration of the film). read more

SUPER!! if you are visiting or live in BC it's a must do! Just a blast to do! Great for kids, my cousin loved it! The feel is amazing, feels like you're actually flying over Canada. read more

Super experience - great visual and motion effects. Great for young and old. At the end of ship port and a nice walk from downtown. They also go this in Disney World in Florida and we have enjoyed both - worth repeating. read more

FlyOver Canada - Entrance to fantastic voyage - Amusement Parks Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Was a cool 10min experience, I've taken it a few times now it's a must when visitors are in town. They definitely could have made this longer as the clips are short and sometimes pretty grainy to see but otherwise a unique experience. I did find it over staffed with employees and was unorganized at times and over controlled at other times, which is weird for just waiting in a line. $30 for ten mins, so it's pricey but cool nonetheless. read more

I usually write long reviews but simply...YOU MUST TRY THIS POST HASTE. We laughed and had a blast, no bad seats and interactive. A bit of a walk to get there and a wait but definitely worth it, trust me. If you hate it then just remember I'm spot on 99% of my other reviews but... you'll love it and thank me. Thank me in tequila shots. read more

This is a high quality 4D attraction, but instead of disney characters or kiddish cartoons, it features Canada's beauty. A preshow was sensory overload and followed various persons enjoying their country. Quick pre-loading pod with safety spiel. The wind control is subtle and matches the movements well enough that it really does feel realistic. Good selection of pleasant scents, particularly the pine and the grass fields. Water sprays are not obnoxious. Epic music soundtrack going on the entire time, with huge 4 story screen to give you the full experience. No sudden movements, no inkling of motion sickness, very smooth flying. However I would have enjoyed a better video quality... the common consumer is too used to seeing everything in HD now. read more

The ride itself was fantastic...similar to Disneyland's California Adventure ride. But what was a big turn off was the disorganized looonnngg line. They sell you the ticket for what time your ride is and they emphasize that you should be in your line no more than 5 minutes before your allotted time, but when you get there you still have to be in line for another 45 min. at least. What's the point of selling tickets for a specific time then? I notice the ride is supervised by a bunch of teens probably no more than 19 or 21 so would this explain the chaos? Not necessarily...But they definitely could do better with the organization. read more

A co-worker recommended this - I was very disappointed. Overpriced for what you get. You first watch a very abstract film in a standing room before you are seated - it didn't make ANY sense. Then you escorted to your seats that move towards the screen, so your feet dangle. The flyover scenes were all over the place and randomly cut and pieced together. It was just... meh. Expect to get a little wet from the misters. I recommend skipping this, I don't get the hype at all. read more

This virtual ride takes you on a scenic and sensory tour of Canada. It's a beautiful place and I can't imagine the countless hours spent putting the videos together through real flight time. That being said it is absolutely not worth the money. Unless you can't make it anywhere else in Vancouver I would skip this and visit some of the actual land, air and sea tours around Vancouver. The ride last about 5 minutes (or less) it took more time to watch the intro video (called rise or uplift or something like that ) and the safety video. It was just an ok experience but I had an amazing time otherwise in Vancouver and the surrounding areas. read more

It's a corny but a great way to see more of Canada if you're on a quick trip. We got really lucky coming in near the end of the day on a Thursday, there wasn't a line so we saved some money by not paying for the express lane tickets. Didn't get a chance to take pictures while waiting in line because they were shooing us in for the pre-show movie (to help your eyes adjust to the dark). The misters are a bit much (I imagine that's way nicer on hot days) otherwise you kinda do feel like you're flying with your feet hanging over the edge and watching the gorgeous ariel footage. read more

Such an amazing experience!! Any Disneyland Soarin' fans?!?! This would rival that. When we first walked into the room I though we wasted our money... but then we went to our "flight" and it was incredible. We only had 3 days in Vancouver so this helped us "see" so much of all their is to offer. Note: they do like their mist ;) but worth the price IMO. read more

I felt like a eagle flying over Canada. It was fantastic. You were moving and felt the mist in your face. Wish it had lasted longer. I would definitely go back. Canada is so beautiful. read more

I was only in Vancouver for a day, and am so happy I experienced FlyOver Canada. It was so beautiful! So relaxing and peaceful as you "fly" over some incredible views. The simulation is great, the sea spray and scents along the way just add that extra touch. It's situated in a really pretty part of Vancouver, with fantastic views as you walk out the door. This is something everyone, of all ages, can and should experience. I'll be going back! read more

Awesome family activity! If you can print the voucher get a groupon but if not its still worth it and you can get your tix online.

Worth it! For a local and quietly patriotic Canadian, I found it to be a wonderful addition to our local tourism scene, as well as just a really awesome experience for a rainy afternoon in our fair city. The staff is friendly and the quality of direction and equipment is easily on par with the Disney World equivalent (Soarin'). The preview movie before the show is surprisingly captivating (especially for a big Canucks fan such as my self) but doesn't really do much to set you up for the ride experience ahead...which is probably good. Two different but neat Canadian films up for viewing here. My companion and I couldn't stop talk about it after we saw it and we almost hopped back on for a second go (at 50% off with a same-day ticket!) One last note - oddly, the wind on the ride smells extremely pleasant and aromatic. read more

I liked it!! We had a double feature - China and Canada! So that helped justify the price. The Fly Over Canada part is pretty short to pay $20.00 for an adult ticket however I'd still go see it again! It also makes me wanna travel across Canada! It's good to go with the family. Priority booking is good to do. I know it's an extra cost however the wait was 1 hr and 30 mins if you just show up. We paid the extra few dollars and got to walk right by the line. Kind of like the fast pass at Disneyland! Dinner and Fly Over Canada was a great family night out!!!! Did I mention the family did not consist of any children!!!! So it's good for a family of adults! :) read more

Its like soaring over California @ Disneyland. Well its nice to see similar attraction in Vancouver. The Canadian places featured is wonderful. I have to reduce one star due to the price. Otherwise its good. read more

FlyOver Canada is a fun and unique way of seeing the vast and varying landscapes of Canada without ever leaving Vancouver. The tickets are pricey, but they seem pretty comparable to other large screen simulation type of rides. FYI: You aren't told up front, but the ride includes a 5-minute introduction video that is standing-only. (There's a small bench for "those that need it"...) Then a safety video. And climbing up a couple of flights of stairs. read more

A fun exhibition ride. Great way to illustrate the great scenery which Canada has to offer.

I recommend this place, good customer service and i had a good experience. it is pretty realistic. read more

If you've been Universal Studio, this ride is not up to par. Quite expensive for a 8 minute ride not including the safety rule in the beginning. The Universal Studio stimulation ride is more thrilling than Fly Over Canada. This is more for peaceful serenity ride to glide over the some great views of Canada. Got a little dizzy in the beginning from adjusting to the view. Overall, it was a okay ride only. read more

I had no expectations on what "Fly Over Canada" is supposed to be so I happily accepted an invitation during the holidays to watch it. After going from one line-up to another we were eventually led into a room where we had to strap ourselves into these special seats. The actual show was maybe 15 mins. of whirlwind fun with mist and smells to add to the visual rollercoaster experience. I felt nauseated towards the end but I guess that was part of the fun. I wish it was longer as I thought our show was reserved but we had to line-up longer than the show runtime. I also thought they need to update the quality of their video as some of the shots were blurry. read more

Great show. Our group all felt that the effects (visuals, wind, mist, smells, etc) were very realistic. There were a couple parts where I felt we could fall off into the scenery!! Everything before was a drag. It was a looong walk from the ticket booth to the actual theater. You can pay $2 extra for Express Entry but I don't think there was much of a benefit. Once we wait in line, we're finally let into the theater. Yes!!!! No... First we need to watch a promo video while standing. They only have a couple benches that they reserve for the elderly. After the promo video, we're finally let into another room for the theater. Yes!!!! No... First we need to go over safety and rules. Then we walk into another room...which we think is the theater... Yes?!? Hell yes!!! The seat is almost like a ski chair lift and the ride was awesome. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome! Don't miss it. Wanted to see it a second time but our trip wouldn't allow it. Amazing experience!

We went on the ride on our first day in Vancouver. We enjoyed it so much we insisted on going again a few days later with friends who were also in town. They loved it so much. I knew they would! When I'm in Vancouver next time, I'll be going on the ride then too. read more

Fly over Canada was a great experience overall for my friend and I. However, the ride was said to be around 20-25 minutes long but it was only around 10 minutes. It was really fun and a great tourist attraction for those people who want a great time with their family. The workers were really nice and friendly and the seats were clean and comfortable. Just know that the ride itself only last about 10 minutes, not 30 minutes, don't be fooled by the ticket! And make sure u purchase the ticket online ahead of time, it's cheaper!! read more

I'm a little torn on this. I kind of want to give it 5 but there are two things to consider. 1. I had to wait in line waaaayyyy too long for a waaay too short experience. 2. I may be giving it too much credit because I've been disappointed in Vancouver in general mainly due to the weather but to be honest almost EVERYTHING I've attempted to do or see has been underwhelming including food and the people I've met. Full Disclosure...I've been here a month and its been lots of rain and snow so my mood is probably not the best, however I seriously haven't been all that impressed and won't be returning. Anyways, I will give this attraction 4 stars, it saved the day as I was practically in tears...seriously that over it but this attraction made me smile. I enjoyed it. read more

Totally amazing!!!! Well worth the price ( but book online and save 15%). Don't leave Vancouver without seeing this!

30$ for 9 minutes! Plus they make you stand for 10 to 15 minutes to watch a lame intro film. Also when I asked if my Capilano pass might be valid for a discount they laughed at me. Rude b's. Definitely not a must see. read more

It was a really awesome experience and worth the $20. Only 4 stars because the ride seemed pretty short and did not show Saskatchewan at all. I also think it would have made more sense to go from East to West but it kind of jumped around. read more
