I like Marineland in Niagara Falls. It's expensive and the food is horrid and extremely expensive, but I still really like it. It doesn't compare with Sea World really. A few years ago it built a great area called FRIENDSHIP COVE. There are killer whale and beluga whales. Cool story about the beluga whales. Apparently the Russian govt' was selling these whales for cash. Marineland was interested. The Russian govt' basically said they were military whales but wouldn't say what they were used for. Russian govt' said "Bring cash to the airport and here are your whales." Marineland didn't know what to think of this. Fortunately, these beluga whales are very tame and friendly. You can touch them! The rides are fun and walk-on when the whale show is going on. We arrive before 10am, see the dolphin show at 10am, it's about 30 minutes. Then go over and see the whale show at 11am. Then visit Friendship Cove and the deer petting area. Feed the bears and do the rides during the next whale show. We always bring a lunch and listen to the UM-PA-PA band and play in the park. It's a great day! I recommend it! S
