Flyover in Vancouver suits families and first-time visitors who want to see Canada from the air in half an hour without leaving Canada Place, and the trade-off is paying $40 at the gate in October 2026 for an adult ride that flies for 8 to 10 minutes.

Access
Flyover is wheelchair accessible. Riders transfer to the seat on their own or with a companion, or stay in a stationary spot on the platform with a team member. The visit means standing for 20 to 30 minutes with some stairs, though elevators link the areas and staff can find seating.
The ride opened at Canada Place in August 2012 as FlyOver Canada and now calls itself Flyover in Vancouver. A visit starts with a pre-show of 6 to 8 minutes and a short safety briefing. Then the motion seats lift you in front of a spherical screen for 8 to 10 minutes of flight, with wind and mist on your face. Flyover says the whole thing lasts 25 to 30 minutes and suggests allowing 40 to 60 minutes for a single feature.
Awaken Canada runs all year and flies from Arctic landscapes to the oceans. The Halloween film HowlOver Canada began on 15 October 2026. Soar with Santa takes over the holidays from 20 November to 2 January, and the double feature with Awaken Canada knocks half off the second film.
Every rider must stand at least 102 cm (40 inches) tall, and children 13 and under need someone 14 or older with them. Flyover follows the industry advice that pregnant guests shouldn't ride. In its own words, Flyover sits on the traditional territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Worth knowing
- Book online for the lowest price, even on the day you ride.
- Tickets bought from Flyover refund up to 24 hours before your showtime, and you can change the date or time up to 2 hours before.
- A companion of a paying guest who uses a wheelchair rides free. Call 1-855-463-4822 to book the companion ticket and a wheelchair spot, since each showtime has a cap on wheelchairs.
- Closed captions run on your own phone in English and French during the pre-show, though the flight itself has none.
