The film FlyOver America shows sometimes at FlyOver Canada at Canada Place in Vancouver. Participants can soar across the United States, or Canada, or both!
The last time the film about the United States was in Vancouver was in the fall of 2018. We expect it to be back in a future year. Exact details about when, however, are to be confirmed.
Although FlyOver America isn’t showing in Vancouver, films to watch in the fall of 2023 include Legendary Iceland: Landscapes and Lore and the Halloween-themed HowlOver Canada.
To book your experience see the FlyOver Canada website.
FlyOver America at Vancouver’s Canada Place
FlyOver Canada is a popular tourist attraction that runs all year and takes guests on a multi-dimensional flying film experience across the country, from the Maritimes to Vancouver and up to the Arctic. FlyOver America, meanwhile, is a special feature film that’s in town for only a limited time each year.
If you haven’t seen either film before, you should go when they are showing!
Where is FlyOver Canada
FlyOver Canada is the attraction that’s located on the west promenade side of Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. Its physical address is 999 Canada Place and it’s just a few blocks from Waterfront Station (which is the terminus to both the SkyTrain and SeaBus).
When is FlyOver America?
FlyOver Canada shows a film about Canada every day throughout the year. FlyOver America is just one of several special feature films that are also shown at the attraction from time to time. It’s sometimes in town for a month and a half or so in the spring or fall.
Future dates are to be confirmed.
What is FlyOver America?
Whereas FlyOver Canada is a film experience where you buckle into your seats and fly over Canadian scenes like Niagara Falls and the Rocky Mountains, FlyOver America is a multi-dimensional experience where you fly over the United States.
Scenes in the FlyOver America film include the Florida Keys, Mississippi River, Grand Canyon, Alaska, American Rockies, California’s Napa Valley and other famous places. American cities you’ll fly over include Chicago, New York and San Francisco. You’ll also see (and feel) Niagara Falls (on the New York side) and surfing scenes around the Hawaiian Islands.
If you’re familiar with some or most of the above places, the show is especially fun to see as you’ll recognize lots, but from a birds-eye perspective. And if you’re not already familiar with the scenes, or have never been to the United States at all, then it’s a wonderful way to see and learn about America!

FlyOver Canada (and America) Admission
FlyOver Canada and FlyOver America are separate film experiences. You can see one, the other, or both.
If you see the double feature the entire flying journey, excluding the pre-show, lasts for about 17 minutes. See both shows together and you’ll save up to 20% off the full price compared to paying for them individually at the gate.
