Along with the marine life, there are also other animals. The Deer Park is an area where you can walk in and touch them. I certainly couldn’t count all of them, but there must have been a hundred or more. My two young sons loved them, but I couldn’t help but think they could have…
Considering the name of the park, the first thing that most people think of is the animals, inparticular the whales. They appear prominently in all of the advertisements both in print and on TV. It’s the main reason why I wanted to go, and I wasn’t disappointed. When we first arrived, a show was just…
On Monday, August 28, 2006 I arranged to go to Marineland Canada. There were 7 of us who went (5 adults, 2 children). Marineland has been around for over 40 years, and is one of the most popular attractions in Niagara Falls. Those who live in Southern Ontario and the surrounding Border States are familiar…

I just posted the article from the Niagara Falls Review about the new construction at Marineland. Apparently they are building a huge shark exhibit. Well, I was at Marineland last Monday (10 days ago; I haven’t posted my comments yet) and noticed that beside Arctic Cove there is a huge cleared area with construction vehicles….
From the Niagara Falls Review: A massive mechanical shovel scoops dirt from beside a riverbank and loads several dump trucks. “This is going to be 60 acres, the world’s largest aquarium,” said Marineland owner and founder John Holer. Casually dressed in a baseball cap and golf shirt, he points to the heavy equipment and explains…
From Niagara This Week: Last year, Eleanor Blair travelled more than 2,400 kilometres from her home in Gainsville, Fla. for an exciting new artistic challenge. The painter, accustomed to creating landscape portraits with oils and a fine-tipped brush, said she needed a challenge, and after hearing about the International Plein Air Painters Paint-Out event in…
From the Niagara Falls Review: It’s now the home of the Niagara Parks Police, but from 1926 to 1982, the stone building on the Niagara River Parkway in the heart of Queen Victoria Park was the seat of administration for the Niagara Parks Commission. “It has one of the best views of the American Falls…
