FlyOver Canada soars from coast to coast with Santa at Canada Place, December 9 to January 3

With stunning footage of some of the country’s most iconic locations, the attraction is akin to a 4D film that gives you the feeling of flight

Pursuit presents FlyOver Canada’s Soar With Santa at Canada Place from December 9 to January 3, 2022

“TRAVEL WITHOUT LEAVING town”: the description has become a pandemic cliché, but it rings true in Pursuit’s FlyOver Canada. The attraction uses state-of-the-art technology to give you the feeling of flight, with its new seasonal offering being Soar with Santa, a coast-to-coast tour that includes aerial footage of the North Pole.

You’re seated on a moving platform that dips and turns in front of a 20-metre spherical screen, your feet dangling off the floor, as wind, mist, and scents enhance the eight-minute journey. FlyOver Canada’s film crew spent more than a year travelling all over the country to capture some of its most stunning and iconic locations.

FlyOver Canada is also offering Breakfast with Santa on December 11, 12, 18, and 19, with a buffet following the ride.

A brand specializing in “attraction and hospitality experiences”, Pursuit also offers FlyOver in Las Vegas, FlyOver Iceland in Reykjavik, and the forthcoming FlyOver Canada in Toronto.
