Marineland of Canada is a themed amusement park and zoo located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It first opened in 1961 as a single animal exhibit, and has since grown to include over 1,000 animals representing more than 40 species, as well as various rides and attractions.
One of the park's main attractions is its marine life exhibits, which include beluga whales, dolphins, walruses, sea lions, and penguins. Marineland also has a number of land animals on display, including black bears, deer, elk, bison, and raccoons. Visitors can observe the animals from viewing platforms, underwater viewing areas, and during shows and demonstrations throughout the day.
In addition to its animal exhibits, Marineland has a variety of rides and attractions, including roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, and a water park. The park also offers educational programs and workshops for school groups and families, as well as behind-the-scenes tours for those interested in learning more about the animals and their care.
Over the years, Marineland has been the subject of controversy and criticism from animal rights groups, who have raised concerns about the park's treatment of its animals. Despite this, the park remains a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from across Canada and around the world.
