Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Take an exhilarating flight simulation ride. Your 25-minute experience inside a 3-story high-dome-screen theater is made up of three stages: the pre-show, pre-launch and the 8-minute experience.

First, walk into the pre-show area for an audio-visual showcasing the people of Canada. Then, head to the boarding zone for your preflight briefing. After a safety orientation, you’re led to the flight deck. Get buckled in and hold on for takeoff!

Soar from coast to coast in Canada, and immerse yourself in spectacular scenery. Grab on to your seat as you dive from high peaks to the rolling countryside; see fishermen, cowboys, lakes and the woods — they’re so close you can almost touch them. Feel the wind and rain in your face, and inhale heady scents of wherever you’re flying through.

When your flight ride ends, take a moment to recover and then exit through the hangar.

This tour is available all-year round, with shows starting every 20 minutes during operating hours.
