2024 Fly Over Canada

Fly Over Canada, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Entrance to Fly Over Canada

Fly Over Canada is a family friendly theme park-like amusement ride that simulates you flying across Canada from East to West.

This ride is located in Canada Place, which is Vancouver's cruise ship terminal.

You will feel like you are flying because you are buckled into seats, the floor is taken away, and a movie is projected onto a giant screen in front of you!

The visuals in the movie that is played in front of you are stunning!

The main movie is a fly over of many regions of Canada.  During the year, there are different special movies that are intermixed with the main movie.  See below for the 2024 schedule of special movies!

This ride is good if you only a short time to do an attraction, want to see some great visuals of Canada, and do something a little different!

This page will tell you how the ride works, ticket and price information, photos, hours of operation, location, age, height restrictions, parking, and transit information.

How does Fly Over Canada work?

There are 3 parts to the Fly Over Canada attraction.

The first part of Fly Over Canada is a pre-show.  It is a short movie, called Uplift, that is displayed on the walls in the first room you enter.  You are then led into the pre-boarding area.

The second part is where you get pre-flight instructions in the pre-boarding area.  After receiving the instructions you are led to the ride and buckled in.

The third part is the actual ride.  During the ride, the floor is moved away to give you the feeling that you are flying.  The chairs move and you will feel wind and water vapour sprayed at you at appropriate points during the movie.
