Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies at FlyOver

FlyOver is a multi-dimensional theatre located at Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. The attraction features flying experiences with moving seats, various scents and other immersive elements.

The theatre has different shows throughout the year, including its regular film Awaken Canada and seasonal ones for Halloween and Christmas. Special feature films showcasing other parts of the world come to Vancouver from time to time. These include FlyOver Iceland, Soar Over Taiwan, Believe Chicago, Hawaii From Above and The Real Wild West.

One of the more recent additions to the FlyOver rotation is Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies. The show includes stunning footage of the iconic mountain range along the border of British Columbia and Alberta. The scenes are full of snow-capped mountains, beautiful glaciers, picturesque lakes and more. It’s a beautiful and thrilling film experience!

Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies premiered at the attraction in 2022. It’s been back multiple times since, including in spring of 2025!

What to Expect

As with most FlyOver shows, you need to arrive a few minutes before the time of your show. When you line up to get into the theatre, at the very start, there is a large green screen where you can get your photo taken. Then, at the end of the show, in the gift shop, you can see the photo of you in front of a film scene. You can purchase the photo after you see it if you want. It makes for a fun souvenir.

Also as you wait in line for the show, there are displays with information about the film and FlyOver for you to look at. There is also information on a TV screen overhead. You don’t have to wait long. Before you know it, the theatre doors open and you can go in.

When showing, Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies has a special pre-show presentation. It’s where you’ll learn about the Rocky Mountains, its geological history, and Indigenous insights about the mountain range.

The Main Show

After the pre-show, guests head to the main theatre. The film starts with scenes of Maligne Lake at Jasper National Park. After flying over more than a dozen other lakes and parks, the ride concludes with scenes from Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. For a sneak peak of the film, watch the video further below.

Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies is both a beautiful and thrilling film. You really feel like you’re flying over the mountains. You feel every dip and turn as you soar from scene to majestic scene. It’s like you’re in a plane, or flying around like a superhero (but while safely buckled into your seat). In total, the full FlyOver experience takes about 25 minutes, with the ride itself lasting for 8 minutes or so.

After the Show

At the end of the film guests exit the theatre and make their way to the gift shop. Before leaving, be sure to check out the photo the FlyOver staff took at the start of your visit.

FlyOver at Canada Place sometimes also offers special alpine-themed drinks and treats to enjoy after the film. In the spring of 2024, the menu at the Flying Whale Café includes a blue glacier lemonade and a spiked glacier cocktail.
