Setting

A mid-size aquarium a short walk from the falls, and the obvious move when the mist and wind make the gorge unbearable with kids. Humboldt penguins, harbour seals and California sea lions get daily feeding and training sessions that are the highlight for most children. There are Great Lakes tanks, a shark and ray touch pool, and a small rainforest area. It takes about ninety minutes which fits neatly into a Niagara day. Combining it with the state park makes a rainy Niagara trip actually work.
