On a recent trip to Vancouver we decided
to check out the FlyOver Canada attraction which is conveniently located at
Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. This attraction is very popular and to avoid waiting in line you might want to reserve online. We were traveling with my sister and her family who were visiting from Arizona and we didn't reserve and we had about a 40 minute wait. FlyOver Canada is a simulated helicopter
flight over some of Canada’s most scenic areas and you feel like you are
whizzing over the landscape just above the
tree tops. The show travels from east to west and we loved the shots of
icebergs and scenic Western Brook Pond in Newfoundland. From there the trip
follows a rugged river valley in Quebec, Ontario’s Niagara Falls and the
Muskoka Lakes in fall splender. When you “fly” over water scenes you even feel
a light mist hitting you in the face which makes “flight” seem very realistic.
We also liked the wide open scenes from the praires as well as the dramatic
mountain vistas from the Rockies. The flight ends by flying over the FlyOver
Canada building you are sitting in along the Vancouver Waterfront. The full show is
30 minutes long and really does showcase Canada’s varied scenery. It is geared for all ages and see: http://www.flyovercanada.com/ for more
information.
