Fly Over America

Fly Over Canada is a virtual flight ride experience with a breathtaking flight ride across Canada.  The theatre is located at the north end of Canada Place.  During the last month they have been showing Fly Over America.  From New York to Hawaii, it sounded like a great way to spend the afternoon.  The ride is only 10 minutes but it's incredible.  We took skytrain downtown and when we got there it was a two hour wait!  If I would have been on the ball I would have purchased tickets online.  So, we didn't wait and I'm sorry we didn't get to see it.  We had a wonderful walk downtown on a gorgeous day!  It ends on Monday and I hope because it's so popular they will hold it over.
