Marineland (official name Marineland of Canada Inc. ) is a marine theme park in Niagara Falls ( Ontario ), Canada . The park was opened in 1961 under the name Niagara Game Farm , still without today's attractions . Originally the park was a small zoo. A few years later, the park was renamed Niagara Marineland And Game Farm , and it also received some marine attractions. In the 1980s, the park received a new main attraction with the Orca Kandu .
