I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Travelling with kids is not a “holiday”. That’s completely misleading! lol ‘holiday’ conjures up images of stress free relaxation and this on the other hand, is not. But we went ahead and had ourselves a little getaway with the kids and had some family fun nonetheless. We loaded up the boys and took a road trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario. A visit to Marineland was a big part of our trip taking a full day to enjoy and it was a huge hit with the boys!
We had heard some mixed feedback on Marineland before we went, so we weren’t sure what to expect but we had a blast! The kids are still talking about the whales a week later! We watched the Belugas and Killer Whales both above and below the water and we were pretty happy we weren’t standing in the wrong spot when the killer whales splashed all the people! lol The water smelled like fish! lol eewww…. so avoid the splash zone at the shows if you don’t want to get wet and smelly.
My middle son especially adored watching the whales and dolphins jump in the air, and I have to agree, the show it was pretty spectacular! Don’t miss it and go a bit early to get good seats.
We also got a look at Seals, Walrus, Bears, Buffalo, Moose and we stalked more than a few Deer! lol The kids really enjoy seeing the animals!
Big Brother’s favourite part was the rides and games! The best thing about Marineland was that even our 2 year old could play the games and go on some of the rides, it was a perfect spot for the whole family!
Have never been, but the kids would like to go!
Wow,that must have been an amazing vacation
Looks like you had a good time
I would love to go to Marineland and watch the whales and other sealife. I know our children loved animals and I do as well. I am happy that you all enjoyed your holilday.
