The actual ride was very enjoyable. The staff was VERY UNKIND&DID NOT CARE FIR CUSTOMER AT ALL!!! I was in a motorized wheel chair...am not using this thing just for fun!!!!! She told my son to sit down & took me to a place to put me wheel chair...that i understand.BUT she walked away leaving me to struggle to get out of chair, gather my packages & WALK UNASSISTED back to where my son was seated. She would not even assist me in stowing my packages...even said that I had better stow them correctly. REALLY!!! SAID SHE COULDNT HELP ME...SHE HAD TO STAY 6 FEET AWAY. When it was over...did anyone come back to assist me? NO! As far as Im concerned...she could have stayed home. None of the people working there had a smile on their faces nor a greeting coming or leaving. This place needs to get friendlier people!

If you are in Minneapolis and visiting the Mall of America, you got to be at this place! We have been here twice and this place will never cease to amaze us even if we are going to visit this 10 more times.The check in process is quite simple at the front desk and make sure to look for online discount coupons. The staff direct people well inside the premises and are very helpful.Coming to the experience, it is SURREAL! Nothing like I have ever experienced before. It’s a fairly 10 minute simulated flying experience over some of the famous landmarks and landscapes of the USA and ends at outside of the earth. The fantastic background music just ups the entire feel of the whole experience!The best part is the mist u feel on your face as you fly over water bodies and the sweet fragrance as you fly over some prairies. The fighter jets that fly in tandem provide an unbelievable view.

Wow!!! Way more amazing than we expected actually. We thought it was just a 3d thing with spritzes of water and air. nope!! I kinda dont want to ruin the surprise for anyone but it is totally worth it! I do understand what people are saying, its not the clearest display (especially if looking around the ends) but the experience is so great you dont care. It may be $2 a minute but again it was fun. We were laughing and screaming. Totally thrown off by it being like a real ride. You really feel like your flying over these massive beautiful places. Kinda want to go to the Hawaiian one now! It was so realistic my sister (terrified of heights) was really scared, she was freaking out.

Buy ticket stand in a line. Move to another room and stand in a different line. They lead you into another room and you stand in a line. Then someone brings you up a level and you sit down and strap into your seat. It goes dark and you can tell the seat is moving. Lights come on and your seat is over the walkway that you walked towards your seat. Flying across America with wind and mist in your face. It was awesome! I glanced over and watched the other spectators seats swaying back and forth. Well worth the 3 different lines I stood in. AWESOME.Oh, no pics are allowed inside as I bet you would lose your camera. lol

Friends we were visiting surprised us with this experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Worried I might not do well because of motion sickness but wasnt a problem.

Ive taken the kids to Disney world and Disneyland several times, and this rates right up there with my all time favorite attractions! My 21 year old daughter, and my 4 & 7 year old grandchildren absolutely loved it as well - so much that they chose this over the theme park on our second day visit to Mall of America. If you havent had the opportunity to go on this attraction yet, I hope youll plan a visit - it was fantastic!

Review №13

Was a cool experience. Only giving it 4 stars as the attraction itself is very short. I recommend getting both the Fly Over Hawaii and America package, as they were both interesting. The attraction itself is very interactive with wind, movement, mist, and smells.

My family and I went to Hawaii and it was awesome

Review №15

Went here for my birthday with family. So much fun to soar over different lands. This time we chose the Canadian special and it was really cool to get to see so many places when Ive only ever been able to physically visit a few. Of course Ive also done the original fly over America which is really fun to recognize the landmarks. And during Christmas they had a magical Christmas time special.

Ya
Review №16

Definitely a cool experience situated right at the Mall of America. Take a break from shopping and relax while you soar over some beautiful simulated parts of America. There is a similar experience at Epcot in Florida but I think this one is better and its a longer ride.

Love this VR experience. Highly recommended.

Review №18

So fun! Very similar to the Soarin ride at Disney World, but no scents in the air. We had a fun time here with our son. I think it was about 10 minutes (give or take) long and the line was short to get in. Its a separate thing from the Nickelodeon Universe, but right next to it.Tip: Sign up for their e-newsletter for occasional deals!

This is such a unique experience, I would recommend this to anyone! Took my grandpa here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. So far they have had Fly Over America and Fly Over Canada, can’t wait to see what they release next!

Cool ride! You get to see various parts of America as your flying. They do need to get a better quality screen though. Otherwise its a fun ride.

Review №21

Ive gone through Fly Over America 3 times and have loved it each and Everytime Ive been there. Just this weekend we went through Fly over Hawaii and it was breath taking. Its the next best thing to actually being there. The sights, smells and sensation is second to none.

Review №22

A fun flyover event. You sit in a large chair that tilts and moves. Occasional mist spraying when you fly through clouds or get close to waterfalls.We did the dual show of America and canada. They last about 10 minutes a piece. If you buy tickets online you can save a good bit, otherwise I wouldnt say it was amazing for the price but it was a fun thing to do once in a lifetime.

Great customer service. They cleaned the seats and arms before we sat. The show was well worth it. I do again

Its a lot fun! Its amazing to see all the states and how unique each one of them are. Im yet to go back and do flyover Canada. I love this place. Workers are friendly, nice and easy to ask questions.

Review №25

Loved this experience. I wish it lasted longer. But so very worth it. It was way more realistic than I expected. Highly recommend. (However, if you have problems with the feeling of free flying through the air, you might not enjoy it).

Review №26

Would definitely go on it again! The screen makes you definitely feel as if youre about to fall and the moving seats adds to the thrill I definitely recommend this attraction!

With water vapor, and smells coming down. Its even better then traveling. If your going to the mall of america I would definitely hit this opportunity up!

Review №29

Very good attraction located inside Mall of America in the center court area.Similar to Disneys Soarin attractions this was fun and entertaining. They not only use smell technology but also water & mist for mater and snow encounters.The mall is less than 2 miles from MSP airport so I had a few hours to kill before my flight so I decided to check it out. While I was there they were also featuring a Flyover Canada but time did not permit checking it out.My only real complaint was price is a little too high.

Second year in a row Ive done this with the family. Its been fun Everytime. What I would love to see is this flyover ride during Xmas time be more involved with Xmas. Have the people dress up as elves or something. Just to give people more of the Christmas feel.

Review №31

This was awesome!! It is an amazing way to see the beautiful America we live in!It was so realistic with the twists and turns of the seats and the mist in your face - it was spectacular!I typically have motion sickness but I did not feel it during this event as there was so much to watch and experience that I didnt think about it at all!This is a MUST! If youre thinking about doing this event...just do it! You wont be disappointed!

Review №34

This company charged my card $55 through two separate transactions. I have never been here before. When I called and asked for clarification, I was told, Thats not possible, and that they wouldnt be helping me. There was no attempt to help me figure out what the charges were for, if there was a credit card slip someone signed, absolutely nothing done to make this right. Not a single care that I was robbed.

Review №35

Overall experience was good. The concept is super cool, the only. Feels like youre actually flying, with the wind, mist and smell being all part of the experience. The only thing is that is made me a little dizzy and the quality was not the best.

We did the Fly Over Canada this time. They made you feel like you were really moving complete with mist from clouds or waterfalls! Really amazing experience.

I love Flyover. Ive been on it at least 10 times and have only had one bad experience. Now with Hawaii taking over Canadas place it is a refreshed sense of excitement.

Review №39

A little expensive considering the ride itself is only about 10 or 15 min. And obviously if you can sit next to people who dont talk through the entire thing thats definitely a plus. It was fun though.

What an amazing and breath taking experience!!! Me and my 5 year old daughter went to see this for the first time. We where just so blown away from this ride. My daughter loved it that she wanted to ride it again. Even though the price of this ride is pricey. It still was worth every penny. I will for sure be back!!!

Love! Love! Love! The reason it doesnt get a 5 star from me is because it does not label the cities u are looking at. I love the 4d stimulation. Would absolutely visit again if I could...

Review №59

Such a neat experience. We waited in line after line for this for about 45 minutes. It was hot and required standing the entire time. When we were at the beginning of the first line, we got to take a picture where we were led to another area that required us to stand in lines once again. Finally we were led to the third area and guess what? Another set of lines! Fortunately the last set of lines had is standing for maybe 5 minutes where they also played a video about safety and what not for the ride. It was worth the wait! My family and I all loved it. Such a unique and fun experience.

I would recommend you to make a sign that says how much time till the new show starts. It would help people to manage their time. But the ride is amazing. Thank you so much

Absolutely amazing. It really shows you the world and 100% I would do this again. Downside is that its pricey and it has a very long wait time.

Review №67

Fun ride and cool experience. Main problem is the price. $20 for what amounts to about 10 min is a bit on the expensive side. $10-$13 feels more reasonable. I think kids and older people would love it.

Amazing!!! 100% recommend! If you have been to Soarin in Disney World, it is very similar. It’s worth the money!!!! We did Canada and it was beautiful, wish we would have paid to do both. Also look up coupons online, you will probably find one!

Amazing experience, fun for the whole family! However, the attitude we received from the sassy man at the counter left a sour taste in my mouth! This is supposed to be a fun experience for the children, check the attitude at the door!

Review №74

Ive been on the America ride a few times and it always gives me a sense of gratitude and awe. The entire layout of this space is designed to give the realistic feel like youre flying. Its a wonderful 4D experience with air blowing, water misting and I believe even scents.I cant wait to try the Canada experience next time!

WOW didn’t know what to expect but once we took off and going through the clouds I have a love for this country and what it has to provide. And all we have to do is save it for our future generations. Sounds simple but life is not about money but it is about memories.

Loved this experience!!! It was my first time to do such thing & I absolutely loved it! It felt like we were flying through the clouds, into the water, over the mountains... It was so great to see Gods amazing creation all over America!!!

Review №88

It’s nice experience, but too expensive for families, if you are planning to go to Nickelodeon universe, purchase thru them at special offers, it’s a lot more affordable that way, you will save a lot of money. I also will suggest to see fly over America ’OR’ over Canada , because it’s very similar, unless you can afford both. I will put 5 stars if it was more affordable. I have seen this feature also at Disneyland for the price of one day to the all park. Just saying.

Review №91

One of the best place to visit in Minneapolis. Compared to fly over canada, fly over america is lot better. But still i do feel that they should include various cities across USA. The last scene in fly over america is really awesome like really travelling into space!

Review №92

This was an absolutely amazing experience! My family went on both FlyOver America and FlyOver Canada. Canada was my favorite, however they were both breathtaking. Amazing views and the ride lasted for a long time. I went in thinking it would be similar to the Disney ride, Soarin. In my opinion, it was much better. The ride was much longer and we saw much more. Will definitely go again and would highly recommend to anyone, old or young.

I would give it 10 stars if I could! Wow! My friend who seriously hates rides loved it and begged us to go a second time! I mean, can you get a stronger recommendation than that?!

Flyover America and Canada are awesome options to have 3D experience! Myself including my senior parents loved it!!

Br
Review №95

Purchased a ticket for both flyover America and Canada, after 1st ride was over I was asked to leave even though I paid for both by an employee named Elijah, he said the ride was going to be full and I would need to go get in line again even though I had just waited almost 30 minutes the first time through. Speaking to the manager did no good, he would not refund my money but would give me another ticket and put me at the front of the line, which would be another 20 minutes or more before the ride reset. It was honestly not worth what I would have spent for just one ride, but I paid double to be treated poorly by some employees who truly did not seem to care about what had just happened.There are plenty of other things to do in Nickelodeon Universe in the mall and none of them treated me with the disrespect that I received at this attraction.
