This was a great experience. You really feel that you are flying over Chicago. The ride is not "scary" as my daughter thought it would be (I think she was imagining a rollercoaster of some sort). You will get to see all of the highlights of Chicago and more...not spoiling it for you...go check it out!

Great experience, but not through Viator

Kim_K, May 2026
The experience was absolutely incredible! But do not book this trip through Viator! We got there with tickets on the phone with correct dates and times and they had no record of our booking. Luckily, we were able to get in because we could not do it another time due to attending a concert right after.

I Flewover Chicago!!

DARRYL_R, May 2026
It's definitely worth the experience! A reminder of how cities change and not always for the better, but the generations of hard working Chicagoans who are the heartbeat and the flavor of the city built the most beautiful city in the world!

Love it

More flight ✈️ less chatter

Speak_O, May 2026
It's worth the price though the visual needs better clarity for a more real experience. It is also pretty short. Needs more fly over America experience and less testimony from the citizens. It eats up too much of the flight experience. All in all it was decent.

Amazing !!

Melvin_W, May 2026
Great experience will definitely be going back to the fly over Chicago a great experience for the young & the old

Beware if you get motion sickness

Sue_S, May 2026
My husband struggles with vertigo and had to close his eyes through much of the experience. We thought it was just a flyover, but the dipping, twisting and turning would have been nice to know about in advance.

Must do

Neriah_N, Apr 2026
Amazing!!! I loved everything about. I was 10 mins late and they made me pay a $6 reinstatement fee, a little upset about that but the experience was 10/10! Would do it again and again. I wish it was a bit longer I didn’t want it to end. Literally the best’

Wow!!

Stephanie_T, Apr 2026
Get there now! Like yesterday! 10/10 my husband and I went together, at first we were like ok what's going on I know we're not here to watch documentaries lol.Alll action and we loved every moment! Very creative and detailed!

The thrill of Chicago!

Jennifer_D, Apr 2026
This was a wonderful experience to get a chance to see all of Chicago on a high up view and close up. The water definitely feels real when you go through it. So definitely i recommend anyone to get this opportunity!

Very exciting activity to...

David_W, Apr 2026
Very exciting activity to check out if you visit Navy Pier!! It provides a view of the city that's unique like any other.

10/10 Experience

Toilien_R, Apr 2026
This was so fun I wanted to do it again. Best experience ever. This is a must try for anyone visiting Chicago. I give this a 10/10.

Amazing!

Eric_P, Apr 2026
Made me love Chicago more and the people who make the city better! Truly an awesome experience and was not disappointed

Courtesy conversations

Dawn_H, Apr 2026
The views on the scene was great. The only thing that would have made it better is to have the couple next to me to NOT to talk through the WHOLE video. Ask people to not carry loud random conversations.

Great show!

Alandria_L, Apr 2026
Highly recommend. It’s kinda short but still enjoyed it. I’ve been twice and will probably go ago!!!

A must do when visiting Navy Pier in Chicago.

Susan_B, Apr 2026
This was one of the best experiences I have had in Chicago. Seeing it in a way I never imagined. I can hardly wait to take our family and friends.

Don’t miss this incredible experience

Eric_W, Apr 2026
One-of-a-kind experience. Beautiful, artistic and emotional. It was all of my favorite things I remember about living in Chicago. What a beautiful work of art.

It was super fun! If you’re afraid of heights, though, it may not be for you, there are a few heart-racing drops.

Birthday Wishes

Omg, this flyover over Chicago made us free as birds,,,, the floating in the skies and pure shock of diving hard and fast was so exhilarating, scary for the birthday girl, but such an adrenaline rush with us truly interacting with the screen

Amazing
