This wasn't even on our list of attractions to go to that day. We were going to go on the ferris wheel at Navy pier and we happen to see the sign for flyover. I remembered that was on my list on my Go City app so I looked it up. It was on my list. We were able to secure a 7:30 PM slot and it was included in my Go City app, we had no idea what to expect since we had never been there before. It's sort of like soarin over California at California Disney adventure but much better and longer. We really enjoyed the attraction and it was a highlight of the trip. I suggest you try it and it takes about half hour. They have lockers that are free for 3 hours that you can put away your stuff. read more

Flyover - Name - Amusement Parks Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Flyover was really interesting. Initially I wasn't too excited about it, but we got to go for free, so we tried it. We were pleasantly surprised. There's a lot of build up to the actual "flyover". A superfluous intro to Chicago, but once you get there that the actual flyover was a really cool 10-15 minute experience. You zoom around Chicago in what feels like a mild rollercoaster. Similar to "4D" movies you get a breeze and the occasional misting as you fly over a fountain or among boats. Anyway, it was neat. If you're in the city for a weekend and you're looking for something light and fun to do between activities, it's a cool way to "see" the whole city. read more

I am new to Chicago, and this is a great way to get an overview of the city's architecture and character. This immersive experience is a thrilling blend of technology and art, capturing the essence of the City from a bird's-eye view. The narration is engaging and informative, providing interesting tidbits about Chicago's history and culture without being overwhelming. In my opinion, Flyover is an amazing experience and must-visit attraction especially if you're not from Chicago. read more

This was incredible! Even the pre-ride experience was amazing. We were introducing some friends and first time visitors to our home town and this was the perfect overview- literally! As a Chicago native I highly recommend this. The staff were friendly and helpful, and you even get a free picture! read more

Unbelievable experience!!! Flyover is an awesome && inexpensive way to experience Chicago. This was by far one of the best parts of the trip. I'd recommend any wanting to see the ins && outs of Chicago to give this experience a try. I'm definitely trying this every time I'm in Chicago. Definitely worth the money. read more

Jojo and his team made us feel like family with their friendliness and excellent service read more

This was a great experience and something that even Chicagoan's would love - not just people from out of town. It's thrilling and incredibly well done. I would definitely do it again if I have friends visiting from out of town or if my local friends would want to do thi. read more

overall a fun experience! the experience is more fun for kids i would say, but it was nice! the cinematography was amazing and the views were beautiful. if you aren't from chicago, i highly recommend coming here and seeing the beauty of chicago in its entirety. 10/10! read more

What a disappointment. First of all it's pricey. The ride is very short - less than 10 minutes? It's also not very racially diverse and a misrepresentation of Chicago demographics. Certain cultural groups are wayyyy overrepresented and certain cultural groups it's like they don't even exist. Definitely would pass. read more

Frikken fun. The ride was short but worth it. I only wish it also scaled up the marina tower too. It kind of points up them and just backs away. Missed opportunity that one was my only complaint. Fun for sure though! read more

Totally Amazing!!!! This ride was worth every penny. Only wish it could be longer. As a tourist it was so freaking live!!!

This is an unmatched experience! If you get the opportunity to go you should definitely do it! Very immersive nothing like what you might expect. It far exceeded my expectations!! Will be doing it again! read more

Flyover is an awesome experience. This Chicago show is so fun and well done. You really feel like you are flying. A must do while in the Windy City! read more

This review is necessary! I have been at several fly over type activities all over...Washington, Disneyland, Las Vegas...this is by far the best one I've been too. I loved how it opened up with real city folks of Chicago and then incorporated them into the show. The production was crazy and incorporated so many highlights or activities of the city. Use this blueprint for all of your locations 10/10 no complaints. read more

This was an incredible experience that offered an amazing perspective of our great city and also offered a captivating ride for thrill seekers. read more

I suggest you get your tickets and experience this ride before word gets out...and it will. One of us is from Chicago - but we all enjoyed everything. Nicely done visuals and the staff were good at their jobs and kept us informed all along the way. The seats are 19" wide - so we all fit in the seats well too. read more

It is amazing, completely satisfying, I never heard about this until I get there, facebook show me and I get it.this is my first trip on Chicago and I'm soo happy. read more

Did not have high expectations, but this ride turned out to be so fun , felt like you were in the cockpit of a drone flying through the city , up and down buildings , through navy pier fireworks , must experience- highly recommend read more

Loved this experience. There are many steps involved. Bubbles was very kind and helped me avoid them. His enthusiasm for this experience was contagious. I feel like I saw things I would have missed in Chicago. This is exciting, the sights are exciting. Make sure you take the photo when entering. You will get it free when you exit. read more

I highly recommend going to fly over Chicago if you're visiting Chicago and if you're from Chicago, it makes you feel proud to be a Chicagoian! read more

Awesome attraction! Experience Chicago like never before. Actually feels like you are flying. Plus the staff is friendly and personable.

OMG!!! This was the highlight of our day. Well worth it. It's so much fun. The employer's was so much fun. I was celebrating my birthday and they were so kind to announce it in a big colorful letter. Not only the staff, sang happy birthday but danced with me.. I can't say enough about the generosity and compassion they showed my group. Thank you so much. read more

Akia at the front desk was amazing she made everything a breeze since we had a wheelchair in our party. Then the cool guy with the sweet hair who was our host made our experience the best! Definitely recommend to everyone visiting the city for the first time! You won't need to go do any other attractions after this haha! read more

Superb! Just not for the cautious. Be prepared to ride with the drones!! and buckle up!

This was one of the most exhilarating experiences we have had on a virtual reality ride. It even beat Disney's Soaring. The ride also gives you an overview of the different Chicago neighborhoods before you go into the theatre. That was great fun for our friends who live in Chicago. If you are not from the city, I would recommend going on a river tour before this ride because you will then recognize many of the buildings that you will see. This was so exciting and fun! read more

Very disappointed. we paid $70.00 for a 30 minute Wonders of the American West. Was taken in a standing room to see a preview of something, then taken in another standing room for a preview of something. Finally, taken to our seat for a 10 minute Fly Over. read more

While the ride uses the same technology as Soarin by Disney. The ride experience is not the same. This ride is much faster and experiences huge drops. I myself preferred the experince of Soarin at Disney. I like the Oh and Ah experience over the screaming experience. I like to kick back and relax and watch the visuals. Also, I tried to convince my brother to go on this and I am glad he did not because he gets motion sickness easily. Even I almost got motion sickness. I had to take a break after this one. Don't experience anything close to motion sickness on Soarin. It is not a bad ride, but when people tell you this is just like Soarin, trust me it is not. i wish it was though. read more

We visited Navy Pier on Saturday and took this new ride flyoverchicago, it was good tickets were $33 for adult , experience was really nice except they need to make the screens more crystal clear read more

So much fun! I was born and raised there just visiting with my family and it was a nice start to our vacation visit to home.

This place was so cool! I was initially a bit nervous after watching the story part and being told we were headed to the final part of the exhibit, but the flyover was amazing! I quite literally saw my house from there lol. read more

I went there yesterday september 22 with my young son and mother and had so much fun that we decided to ride again. After purchasing our second set of tickets we were turned away because my son was too short too ride even though they already gave him a wrist band and let him ride already. They said for safety reason he was too short to get on the ride but he had already been on it. Its shocking that my son was put in an unsafe position because of this place. They should have told me that before I even purchased our first set of tickets, not after I purchased the second set. read more

10/10 experience from start to finish. If you're in Chicago this is a must on your to do list. Not much to say but DO IT!

Hot in the room. Unsteady footage caused motion sickness and headache. Paid to feel sick.

We did this experience at the end of our vacation. I think we appreciated it more at that point. Having visited the city and seeing many of these attractions from ground level. The actual movie is 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The overall time commitment is about 30 minutes. For my wife and I the cost was not an issue but if you have little kids I'm not sure if they discounted otherwise it would be expensive read more

My husband and I went today. AMAZING!!! How cool is it to fly over the city you grew up in. You literally feel like you are flying! All I can say is what an AMAZING experience to fly over such a beautiful city! read more

What a great experience! Terrific staff and an overall wonderful attraction. Would definitely recommend

JoJo at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The experience was engaging through the stories of real life Chicago people and the children's choir. read more

possibly could have been a fun time but the girl at the ticket booth last night Stephanie was extremely rude and condescending. They should choose wisely who they hire to represent them cause she was so rude and I didn't like it one bit read more

Fun experience for a multi-generational group! The staff were super helpful starting with Sean at the ticket booth through the young man who held the door on the way out. The images of Chicago used in the experience were beautiful and the music uplifting. I've never flown through a fireworks display before but now I can say that I have. read more
