From Niagara This Week: Marineland is set to open a multimillion-dollar, two-acre, Arctic-themed splash pad. Polar Splash, which cost approximately $6 million to build and is located across from Friendship Cove, features 10 kid-friendly water slides along with 150 themed sprayers and jets designed to look like realistic dolphins, sea lions, belugas, walruses and polar…
Occasionally I have a regular reader send me in his thoughts/observations about Marineland. Like a lot of people, he is conflicted about the park. He has great memories and see so much potential, but the current situation just doesn’t seem right. Here are some of his comments: I still check the park periodically via social…
Last week I received the latest email newsletter from the Clifton Hill Resort. I like going to Marineland, but I don’t think I’ll ever have the nerve to go on SkyScreamer! 🙂 You can subscribe to the Clifton Hill Resort Update newsletter by visiting the Clifton Hill Newsletter page.
I have a regular blog visitor who is quite a fan of Marineland and he often sends me some notes of what he sees. Here are some of his comments/observations from a recent trip: Kiska is not pregnant, confirmed by staff, trainers and tank supervisor. Kiska is only lapping around her tank, gained some weight but…
A couple of unrelated thoughts from Marineland… I’ve been to Marineland a few times this year, and we’ve spent a lot of time at Friendship Cove where the Orca whales are kept. We watched the splash show a couple of weeks ago, and the last time we were there we went to the underwater viewing…
Yesterday afternoon I went to Marineland with my family. We were there a month or so ago, but before that it had been a couple of years. I was surprised at how busy it was on a Tuesday afternoon. The parking lot certainly wasn’t full (if you haven’t been, their parking lot is HUGE), but…
From the Toronto Sun: “There’s a place I know in Ontario, where the sea lions kiss, so the story goes. “Its amazing shows and Friendship Cove . . . everyone loves Marineland.” Wait, there’s more: “You’ll be spinning, diving and soaring high. Our roller-coaster ride will fly you to the sky. Now you know what…
From the Niagara Falls Review: The death of a SeaWorld trainer who was attacked by a killer whale Wednesday has little chance of happening at Marineland in Niagara Falls, a company spokeswoman said. That’s because Marineland stopped performances with trainers and whales 12 years ago with the opening of its viewing facility Friendship Cove. “We…
I came across a web site called Theme Park Brochures. They post brochures and maps of theme parks (obviously). There is only one thing from Niagara Falls that I can see, and that is a map from 1999 from Marineland. You know, for all of the complaining that we do about how little Marineland does,…
