Everyone loves Marineland!!!

[JEFF247]

Do you? I am taking my 12 yr old niece. We're from NY. Any discount tickets? What's this I read about all the bees/hornets? Do's and don't?

It will be weird being in Niagara Falls without visiting a strip club or casino.

Thank you for you advise.

Save the strip clubs for your nephew....you'll be the coolest uncle. I remember my uncle taking us to the track 35 years ago when I was 12..it was great fun...my mother almost passed out when she heard where we went.

Your niece will love Marine land. You can't go wrong there. At that age you can take her to the Canadian side shopping outlet.

 

[JEFF247]

I am sure she'll like it. She loves animals and the Falls will be an added bonus. Any suggestions on cutting the cost?

JEFF247, Since you're from N.Y. you are probably already familar with this - but just in case. Remember that you will both need a passport or pasport card (or Nexus cards) to get back into the U.S. Also you should have a letter from your niece's parents (preferably notarized) giving you permission to take her into Canada. The above will save you potentialy 'interesting' hours spent at the border.

This is normaly a very busy time at the falls, but if it isn't too bad, 12 year olds are still the age where they really have an appreciation for such.

Boys more than girls (although plenty of girls as well) also find the Welland Canal of interest.

My niece at that age also found the view of Toronto across the lake from the Brock Monument on Queenston Heights interesting.
(Although as you said, probably better not to tell her about the SPs)

Hope you have a great time.

Expired?

I saw those earlier when I Googled "Marineland discount coupons." But they say they expired in 2007!! I couldn't find any recent coupons and I got the coupon books from one of the hotels when I was in the Falls a few days ago. I would like to find some discounts. Thanks.

Thanks for the warning. I have all that in the works and hopefully we can beat the rush. Thanks for the other suggestions. And yes, I too hope she never hears about the strip clubs!!! Not for my niece!! Although it's OK for Uncle Jeff. Thanks

Don't know how long you are staying, but here is a tip that might be useful.

When you buy a one day pass you can convert it to a seasons pass for something like another $10. Good all season long, unlimited entries.

 

[JEFF247]

Only $5 now

I was wondering if I bought one could I sell it to someone else and recoup some of the price of admission. There will be 3 of us and it will cost $113 just to get in.

Are the ridse included in the admission price or do you pay extra, like the feedings?

 

[toughb]

Sorry won't go there.

Don't believe in animal cruelty. And yes they have been target for that

Yes, that is a real problem with Marineland it is certainly $$$

 

[JEFF247]

I have given up!!

Can't find a descent discount of MarineLand anywhere. Most other discounts are a buck or two. Fuck it. I will just go and enjoy!!!

I went there only once. I found that the animals were not given as good
conditions as in the California Marinelands. I felt sorry for them.

Last weekend I found myself in ATLANTA and they have a pretty damned decent aquarium. A question popped into my head and it also applies to Marine Land. Do they have a SEA FOOD RESTAURANT where you can choose your meal from the tanks? This applies to the GAME FARM Do they serve exotic meat at the snack bar?


If you answered no to either question.................why go?

I'll be honest, I haven't been impressed with the feedback on Marineland. Not just here but other travel sites. I am hoping her age (12) will make her more impressed. I will make the best of it and always be happy wear a smile!!! I plan on taking her on the Maid of the Mist and the BIG Ferris Wheel on Clifton Hill. That should make for a good day!!
