Description

FlyOver Chicago tickets give you access to one of the city's most thrilling indoor attractions at Navy Pier — a fully immersive flying ride that redefines sightseeing. Guests are suspended in motion seats in front of a 65-foot wraparound spherical screen, feet dangling as the seats swoop, dip, and glide in sync with cinematic aerial footage. Wind, mist, and scent effects heighten the experience, creating a multi-sensory journey over Chicago's most iconic landmarks and hidden gems.

Unlike traditional movies, FlyOver surrounds you above, below, and all around with ultra-high-definition visuals projected onto a seamless dome. This flying theater simulates the feeling of true flight — all without leaving the ground.

Each visit begins with a story-driven pre-show, highlighting the cultural stories and locations featured in the main film. The total visit lasts about 30 minutes, with the ride itself running approximately 8–10 minutes. The attraction is family-friendly, with a minimum height requirement of 40 inches.

FlyOver Chicago tickets are timed-entry, allowing you to plan your day easily. Multiple departure times run daily, and advance reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays.
