Visiting Marineland is a full day event, and I would suggest that you plan to go in the morning when it opens. Getting to the park early ensures a closer parking spot and because parking is free, you can imagine how huge their lot is. You can walk for 10 minutes just to get in the park on a busy day. Marineland is quite expensive but worth it! Especially if you like marine animals.

Despite their ferocious name, killer whales are actually friendly and affectionate animals. Previously regarded as undesirable, fearsome predators, this congenial side of the largest member of the dolphin family became known only through observations and contact made at facilities like Marineland. At Marineland you'll have the rare opportunity to see, first-hand, just how affectionate, as well as incredibly intelligent, these beautiful friendly giants of the sea really are.

Arctic beluga whales are one of the most popular members of Marineland's marine mammal family. One of the most abundant mammals in Canadian waters, belugas are well known for their striking appearance. As a beluga whale ages, its skin loses pigment cells which causes it to turn a unique shade of white. Belugas are also very playful, friendly mammals. They can nod and turn their heads because, unlike most whales, their seven neck vertebrae are not fused.

In addition to marine mammals shows, and interactive animal displays, they have a variety of fun and exciting amusement rides. Overall Marineland Niagara Falls is a great park to visit. As the song goes....
