Marineland
Niagara Falls - Full Day of Fun
Marineland
Niagara Falls is a great
family amusement park,
and among the best
Niagara Falls and Ontario Attractions. Marineland is one of
the few theme
parks that offer a full day fun,
and is very popular
among
kids.
Marineland is
unique by itself and requires lots of time, to see and
experience majority of the shows.
This is why some advance planning may
be required.
Marineland 1 mile from Embassy,
Hilton, Casino...
Bring
comfortable shoes and light clothes, sunscreen and a hat (if it is
hot outside). There is a lot of walking in front of you.
If you are visiting Marineland Niagara Falls with smaller kids, and you
forgot a
stroller or wagon, don't worry. To rent a
stroller be there early. Number of strollers is limited, so be sure to
be among
the first ones.
 The
closest
hotels where you can stay are only a mile away, like Embassy, Marriott, Hilton, The Oakes...
They are among the Best Niagara Falls Hotels, standing high, just above
Niagara
Falls, between Skylon and Minolta Tower.
...
a few tips when visiting Marineland Niagara Falls
It is good
to know that you can bring your own food and drinks in the
park. Saving money
is a good idea, so there is more for other activities.
We
personally prefer open areas, like picnic areas and parks, where you
can eat and
enjoy the
scenery and nature. Good, tasty homemade food, blanket on a green
carpet, fresh air and nice company is always better then any
restaurant.
Marineland Niagara Falls has neat picnic areas with tables, but before
going there;
check
out the map for a location and the best spots.
Info centers should always be your best friend, when looking for useful
info and directions about Niagara
Falls Attractions, deals or Tours.
Helping you is what we are trying to do also. Use our facts about Niagara Falls,
and read some interesting articles about Niagara history.
Being
familiar with a history of Niagara Region and Niagara Falls, your stay
will definitely be more pleasant.
Be aware
that there are some restrictions for kids, like height
requirement. Good idea is to check it out online or at the premise.
Also, you cannot, for safety reasons, ride a bike, scooter and roller
blades inside.
Marineland Niagara Falls opens the door, for tourists, in May, and is
open from 10am
till nightfall. Tickets have to be purchased before 5pm (6pm on
weekends).
Marineland has a great deal, where you can enjoy unlimited admission to
the park’s attractions. If you purchase an admission ticket to the park
and pay $5 CAN more, you can visit
Marineland as many times as you want, for the full season, which ends
in October.
Ask staff, for Marineland's
Fun Card Season Pass, it is worth it.
The price is in a range of $38 CAN, for children 5-9 years of age is
approx. $30 CAN. Tickets for kids under 5 years of age are free.
To be honest, I haven’t seen recently, of all Niagara Falls
Attractions,
such a good deal.

Once in, I
definitely suggest The King Waldorf Stadium Show, which you
can see
through the day. You can seat wherever you fill comfortable, but you
cannot enter once
the show starts. The show runs for 30min.
Lovely dolphins are making a great performance. They will
show you so many tricks, astonishing flips and high flying bows.

Dolphins in Marineland
The funniest
show in Marineland is the seals and their performance.
You will have so much laugh, so it is a must to see.
One of the kid's favorite shows is always Killer Whale, at Friendship Cove.
You will be amazed seeing how they are jumping to incredible
heights. Don’t miss it.
There is additional charge, $8 CAN.
If you are using walkways, below the water’s surface, you can
enter the enchanting world of whales.

At the kiosk
at Arctic
Cove you can buy tickets and have unbelievable
experience feeding and touching Beluga Whales. They
are the most unique looking whales.
Beluga Whales are very friendly and playful mammals. Their appearance
is interesting as they turn to a specific white color, as they age.

The Arctic
cove is consisted of three pools, connected to each other,
designed to reflect their ocean environment.
After the water attractions, take your kids, so they can enjoy in
feeding the fish, touching and feeding deer, watching black bears and
elks.
Marineland is perfect spot where you can explore and be in touch with
wildlife.

leisure in

If you are
hungry there is a restaurant next to the King Waldorf
Stadium. There are lots of seating available, food is OK with
reasonable prices, but
not
that healthy. It is always a good idea,
to

Whether you are looking for a family friendly restaurant or something a
