Niagara Falls knows how to do kid-friendly nightlife. While the Player Development team from Sint Maarten was in Ontario, we had all had a blast, from the 6-year-old to the adults! A magic show at the Greg Frewin Theater was a great way to start a magical night. To add to the excitement, we walked down the street to see Niagara Falls lit up in color and watch the fireworks. Skijlaar, an 11-year-old from our team, writes about the experience.
We went to magic show with Mr. Greg Frewin. He did lot of magic trick.
“Mr. Frewin magically appeared in a car … whooOOoo … birds came from nowhere.” -Adonis, 12
“The guy that does magic trick, he is very tricky.” -Big King, 14
He did levitation, he made stuff disappear, he made a tiger with a trick.
“The best one I like, the man disappear and appear somewhere else.” -Little King, 10
“It was really interesting, although I thought I could tell how he did some tricks.” -Tre, 14
Triston and Puppy had some magic tricks of their own to entertain us before the fireworks.
Then we walked to the Ferris wheel and we went to Niagara falls to see it light up.
And we watch the fireworks.
Then we walked back to the cars and we went.
What a great night! It’s not often that you find a place that offers so much to do with kids in the evening. If it wasn’t for busy days ahead, we could have taken advantage of the many arcades, fun houses, and family-centered museums in the area. If you’re in Niagara Falls with kids, I highly recommend you take a night out!
Who can describe the utter majesty of Niagara Falls? Even the rows of noisy tourist shops can’t take away from nature’s beauty. Above the sounds of traffic and humanity’s masses, one can hear the thundering of the falls before they catch a first glimpse. When the Player Development team from Sint Maarten visited Niagara Falls, 14-year-old Big King was very impressed.
I woke up at 6 am. I was so excited to go to Niagara Falls.
We waited to get on the boat for hours.
“I get close. It was beautiful.” -Puppy, age 6
We went under the fall!
“We went close to the falls.” -Little King, age 11
We all loved it and got wet a lot.
When I take off my coat, only my sleeve was wet.
“I stood in the front for a better view and to get wet from the waterfall. The Niagara Falls was beautiful in person.” -Theo, age 14
Niagara Falls were pretty incredible! We all enjoyed our experience on the Maid of the Mist boat ride. Zack, another teen in our group, made an awesome video of the ride with his Go-pro. Click here to watch it.
Safari Niagara is probably the coolest zoo I’ve ever been to. The cost of entry gets you a look at hundreds of animals, interesting shows, access to the go-cart course, and even a huge ropes course. It’s a great place to take a huge group of kids. Here’s 14-year-old Theo from the island of Sint Maarten on Safari Niagara and his experience there.
Today we went to Safari Niagara which is a zoo. First we saw a bird show that had owls, hawks, and falcons.
A lady showed us different species of birds.
And then I saw more animals.
I saw tigers, bears, lions, parrots, macaws, foxes, tapirs, and camels.
When we reached, we took a train and saw flamingos.
I think at first we couldn’t look at one bird because a skunk went inside the cage.
By the rhino’s exhibit I rode a buggy whilst watching emus.
Then we ate hot dogs and hamburger and I climbed a huge jungle gym.
Thanks for sharing your journal entry here, Theo! We certainly had a fun time at the park. Be sure to share and leave an encouraging comment for Theo to read!
