Flyover Canada

Last week we went to Flyover Canada to celebrate the end of our Amazing Race Canada.  It was a fantastic field trip, even though we got back late (sorry to the parents and siblings who had to wait for us after school!)

We seem to have a knack for picking the worst weather day to go on our field trips, so the bus ride and walk in the rain was not so fun, but the Flyover itself was most definitely worth the trip.  You sit in a pod of suspended seats, which move in sync with the film, so you really do feel like you are flying.  I was filled with as much wonder as the kids, pointing out kayakers, hot air balloons, and horses!  It was great to hear the exclamations of recognition: “Niagara Falls!” and “There’s the CN Tower, we must be in Toronto!”  At points we were sprayed with mist and scents, and as someone who spent many summers on the prairies growing up I think they got the smell of the wheat field spot on!

Lots of the students wrote about Flyover Canada on our blog, check it out to read their perspectives.  I also saw that Flyover is offering discounts during spring break, so you might want to visit as a family.  Lots of the students wanted to ride again, so I’m sure they would be happy to go back!
