Flyover

Flyover, Vancouver sits in a busy corner of the city’s waterfront. Arriving early or booking ahead can save time, especially during tourist seasons. Canada Place, the tall white structure with sails, often buzzes with cruise ship travelers and local families. Weekday mornings or late evenings offer the quietest times. Visitors will want to budget about an hour, leaving room for entry lines or browsing the on-site shop. Families, seniors, and wheelchair users find the design welcoming, though those sensitive to motion should speak to staff ahead of time.

• Best time to visit: Weekdays, early mornings, or late evenings, especially in spring or early fall.
• How to get there: SkyTrain to Waterfront Station (5-minute walk), city buses, or parking at the Canada Place garage.
• Accessibility: Fully accessible for wheelchairs and strollers; staff are helpful with special needs.
• Average visit duration: 45–60 minutes, including orientation and the experience itself.

Much more than a typical attraction, Flyover puts travelers into the action. Guests strap into motion seats, feet dangling, as a curved screen wraps the room from tip to tip. The ride soars above city skylines, misty forests, and mountain lakes, pumping in scent, wind, and even spray. Before boarding, an artful pre-show sets the stage, weaving First Nations stories and local music into the journey. A wall of windows at the exit frames real ships gliding below, adding another Vancouver view. Even returning visitors find new details, especially during seasonal or special shows.

• Signature flight experience: Sensory, six-minute ride across Canada’s wildest landscapes—complete with wind and mist effects.
• Interactive pre-show: Short film and storytelling blending Vancouver’s Indigenous heritage, natural wonders, and local artistry.
• Observation window: Post-show area with floor-to-ceiling views of Burrard Inlet and North Shore Mountains—perfect for pictures.
• Photo station: Green-screen photo booth for imaginative, share-worthy snapshots.
• Seasonal events: Limited-time themes, such as Northern Lights or Flyover Iceland, for something a bit different.
