From the Niagara Falls Review: The Niagara Parks Commission has been fair, open and transparent so far in a procurement process that will eventually lead to the selection of an organization to operate boat tours in the Niagara gorge, says a government-appointed fairness commissioner. In the first of what is expected to be four reports,…
Another great article about the Marinlenad/SeaWorld court case, this time from the Toronto Star: Ikaika, an eight-year-old male killer whale at Marineland in Niagara Falls, is the equivalent of a troubled teenager. He is full of sexual energy, has a violent family tree and a pattern of aggressive behaviour that often leaves him swimming alone….
From the UK Daily Mail: Two theme parks are waging an international custody dispute in court – over a 17-foot killer whale. SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida, is demanding the return of Ikaika, a two-tonne, captive-born orca that it sent to Marineland in Niagara Falls, Canada, in 2006. But Marineland has defied the call – and…
The other night I was by Dinosaur Adventure Golf on Clifton Hill. It was a beautiful evening, and the place was packed. Everything looks fantastic all lit up! (the pictures were taken with my cell phone, so they aren’t great)

If you haven’t been down Clifton Hill yet to see the dinosaurs at Dinosaur Adventure Golf, you really should make time. They look amazing! I’m pretty sure we’re bringing the kids down today to play one of the courses. They are very excited 🙂
From the New York Times: At Niagara Falls, the United States is the poor relation and Canada is king. Nature gave Canada the wide-angle view of the majestic waterfall that straddles the border between the two countries, and the Canadians’ commercial bet on tourism landed most of the visitor comforts on their side of the…
Dinosaur Adventure Golf on Clifton Hill (behind the Niagara SkyWheel) finally opened up this past weekend. It looks like only one of the two 18-hole courses is ready, but the place seems pretty busy. I took a few pictures yesterday of some of the dinosaurs. You see people all the time stopped at various points…
