FlyOver is the ride at Canada Place where you sit in a seat that lifts off the floor in front of a giant dome screen, with wind and mist in your face as you “fly” over the landscape. Every December it swaps in a holiday film called Soar With Santa: you join Santa on a search for his missing elves, flying over Canada on the way to the North Pole.
It’s a short, indoor, very kid-friendly Christmas outing, and it runs November 20 to January 2. Here are the prices, the BC resident rate and what to check before you book.

What Is Soar With Santa?
It’s a limited-run holiday flight. Santa’s elves have gone missing, and you fly alongside him across Canada’s landscapes to find them before arriving at the North Pole. FlyOver calls it a holiday adventure, and it’s available only for the season.
Ticket Prices
| Ticket | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|
| General admission | From $36 | From $26 |
| BC resident | From $31 | From $21 |
These are “from” prices, so the cost can change by date and time. The BC resident rate needs proof of residence at entry. The page doesn’t say what age counts as a child, or whether these prices are specific to Soar With Santa, so check when you book.
What to Check Before You Book
- Ride rules for kids: the page doesn’t list age or height requirements. Check the booking page if you have little ones.
- Ride length and hours: not listed on the page.
- Dates: listed as November 20 to January 2 without a year, which lines up with this season.
Make a Day of It at Canada Place
FlyOver is inside Canada Place, so the rest of downtown Christmas is right outside:
- The Vancouver Christmas Market at Jack Poole Plaza is next door, from November 16.
- The usual Christmas at Canada Place displays aren’t running this year because of construction.
- Take the SeaBus from Waterfront Station to the free Shipyards Christmas Market and free Santa photos in North Vancouver.
- Gingerbread Lane at the Hyatt Regency is a 10-minute walk, December 3 to 28.
For every Santa visit in the city, see where to see Santa in Vancouver.
Tips
- Book ahead for weekends and the school holidays, since it’s a limited run.
- Bring ID with your address if you’re using the BC resident rate.
- Pair it with the market for a half-day downtown that works in any weather.
