Fun day at the park

Was at Marineland this week, wow Killer Whale had baby, cool.

Now I am wondering when they are going to get this new park finished.




CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSES ON MARINELAND'S $160 MILLION EXPANSION



WORLD'S LARGEST AQUARIUM COMPLEX (Under Construction)



In keeping with his goal to bring animals and people together, Holer’s expansion plans include the construction of a 20-acre aquarium complex.

First Stage: (complete)


Arctic Cove™ – beluga whale habitat – opened in 2004.

Second Stage: (in development)


Terrors of the Sea - will house various types of sharks, as well as stingrays and other ocean creatures.
Future Developments:


Discovery Reef - will contain an ocean reef that will showcase exotic marine species ordinarily found in Caribbean Reefs.
Rainforest Lagoon - will feature fresh water fish from around the world.
Friends of the Sea – will house an interactive dolphin habitat.
Terrors of the Sea, Discovery Reef, and Rainforest Lagoon are three separate domed aquariums that will each contain 4.5 million litres (1 million gallons) of water and each measure 76.2 metres (250 feet) in diameter.
Friends of the Sea will be the center dome, and the largest of the four domes at 91.4 metres (300 feet) in diameter and will hold 14 million litres (3 million gallons) of water.
All four facilities will allow for above water viewing and for under water viewing through large acrylic panels.
Special contact areas will allow visitors to have the chance to personally interact with some of the sea life such as: dolphins, stingrays, starfish, etc.
Educational information about each species will be found throughout the aquarium complex
Visitors will be able to purchase a ticket to enter the aquarium complex separately or as part of a combined Marineland park pass.
