Drop Experience

yolanda_s, Jul 2026
It's like a roller coaster and an IMAX dome had a baby--smooth, thrilling, and completely immersive. You get to see Chicago from a perspective you've never experienced before. Hands down one of the most breathtaking experiences! The whole visit takes about 30 minutes, and about 10 minutes for the actual ride. Cost about $40 per person for adult. Not sure of kids price.

Simulated Ride

Eleanor_M, Jul 2026
The simulated ride was great. But prior to the ride there is too much waiting - I think we started about 20 minutes after our scheduled start time. We shouldn't spend more time waiting than actually experiencing the attraction which includes the pre-ride briefing and commercials on the screen. Otherwise an excellent tour!

Beyond you expectations.

Brad_N, Jul 2026
Amazing! Did not expect what I experienced. Would encourage any visitor to this experience. The smell, the sound and touch of the city all in one attraction!

Loved the actually flying part

Carolyn_A, Jul 2026
The tickets say 30 minutes but you only are flying for 10 minutes! They put you in a room and leave you for 10 minutes saying nothing . Then another room for another 5 minutes then line you up and have. You wait for 5 more minutes ! Make the actual flying part longer

20/10 would recommend

Dayanna_W, Jul 2026
This was an amazing experience. From the videos to the ride— I’ll definitely be back in the future!.

Very realistic if you get...

Randal_R, Jul 2026
Very realistic if you get motion sickness you should take something before you try this ride. Better than rides that I’ve been on at Disneyland

Must Do Flyover Chicago!

Joseph_S, Jun 2026
The visuals allows you to see beautiful Chicago buildings and structures from an exciting and fascinating viewpoint! The staff takes you through the experience in a very friendly, professional, and proficient manner.

Flyover

Tracey_H, Jun 2026

CARMEN_W, Jun 2026

Catherina_H, Jun 2026
Came to visit Chicago for the first time but was a short visit, so was looking online for tours and saw this one and what a great experience. 100% recommended

Must Do!

Dovie_B, Jun 2026
Amazing! Definitely for thrill seekers. You learn about the city and get the ride of your life at the same time. It feels so realistic!

Flyover My Hometown

Joeann_t, Jun 2026
It was amazing! It was Amazing! It was truly Amazing! Will be back to do another Exhibit. Next time it will be Wrigley field.

Fun, not worth the price

Jane_C, Jun 2026
Fun ride, but the movie part is short. Multiple staging areas before you see the actual movie part which isn’t quite worth the price of admission.

Amazing views

Grecia_C, Jun 2026
Great experience this flyover is one of the best thing Chicago did to add as a part of the things to do great attraction for a Chicagoan and a tourist

Cherry on Top

Bernadette_J, Jun 2026
This was the absolute best part of our vacation. It was brief but definitely worth the money! It’s an experience we’ll never forget! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

Disappointed

Ajay_P, Jun 2026
The price was higher than if I bought it at the entrance. I thought Viator was more competitive in their pricing. I paid nearly 50% more through Viator. Their price was $23 and I paid $38 per ticket! VERY DISAPPOINTED

The Flyover.

Penelope_F, Jun 2026
The flyover attraction was very enjoyable. The screen was very clear, the seats were comfortable and I really enjoyed the 4D effects.

Amazingly wonderful it was breathtaking

Stacy_T, Jun 2026
The whole experience was top tier except for the check in prcess fly over Chicago had to be an amusement park experience I was impressed by the way they captured th feeling and the view as if I was on a rollercoaster simply fantastic

Roller Coaster Ride over Chicago!

Dori, Jun 2026
If you are prone to vertigo, take your medicine ahead of time! Other than that it was a really fun activity!

Flyover fun

Nancy_L, Jun 2026
It was a lot of fun. Wish it was longer than it was. Would love to do it again. Not a long wait either

Awesome experience!!!

Trellis_A, Jun 2026
This was such an awesome experience. My family and I really enjoyed the Chicago Flyover. Everyone was ready to do it again. Our flyover was on the last day of our trip and it was an awesome way to end our trip.

Family fun outing.

trinia_M, Jun 2026
Omg was more then I expected.. Me and my family really enjoyed. I had to catch my breath a couple of times. Would fo this again.

Best

Malcolm_T, Jun 2026
Best experience ever!!! Very fun very exciting, very knowledgeable teaches you the history of Chicago!! I AM SOMEBODY

Meh

Amy_V, Jun 2026
It was a really cool 9 minute “flight” but it was expensive for the experience. It takes about 35 minutes from the time we lined up to the time we walked out, but the flight was only 9 minutes. Visitor says get there 30 minutes before experience, but the guy outside flatly and rudely said come back 5 minutes prior. Employee could be happier, all of them had flat personalities.

When visiting Chicago,...

Shonna_H, Jun 2026
When visiting Chicago, Flyover is one of the activities that you must add to your itinerary. Amazing! You will not be disappointed.

Give it 10 stars 🌟 and will definitely be back this June for another family outing

Lakebia_E, Jun 2026
