Marineland Review

We arrived at the park at 3:20 pm found an amazing parking spot and walked right in with our passes. We upgraded to the Fund Card which literally only took 2 minutes. No line ups in we went and wow we got our fun cards within two minutes. We left that hut and walked right on over to the first show which was right inside the entrance called King Waldorfs stadium show. We watched the dolphins perform as well as the sea lions. Quite honestly it kept our attention it was not overly long and it was quite entertaining. From there we headed to friendship cove such beautiful creatures the beluga whales and the killer whale. It was definitely a great site to see. The map to the park led as along the various features and we really enjoyed the park. The crowd was definitely manageable and our son loved the attractions. We definitely enjoyed our day at Marineland. I was quite surprised of how wonderful the day turned out.

It seemed like there was a food kiosk every 30 paces. It is not an overly large park but when you have children under 3 you cannot do a marathon amusement park anyways. It was perfect for our family. By the way the fun card allows you to return to the park for the entire season for a one time fee of 5 dollars.

So all in all I would rate this park an 8 out of 10. They loose a point because they did not have a toddler play area. Which I think they have the space for and it would be a great addition. A place with slides and sand and maybe a little splash park area for toddlers and young children would be a wonderful idea. They also loose half a point for the gift shop because I don't think a stuffed animal the size of my forearm should cost forty dollars. They also loose half a point because the lion restaurant was closed and it smelt really bad when we went inside it.

They do have a family picnic area that was very clean and well maintained. The park was very clean and the bathrooms were very clean. There were plenty of benches for resting and sitting.

I would definitely recommend this park to anyone with small children.
