I have to be honest and say that when we first arrived at Nickle Beach and saw the Splashtown Niagara setup floating way out in the water, my 13-year-old daughter was more than a little sad at how it looked. "We've been hoodwinked," she whispered, "It's nothing like the image on the website." And I have to admit, I thought we'd been scammed, too. But since we drove all the way from Toronto, we figured we'd give it a shot and then we'd head to Niagara Falls for the afternoon. So we signed in, got our wristbands and lifejackets and began the long swim all the way out to the floating obstacle course (did I mention how genuinely kind and helpful the onshore staff were? Yeah, they were pretty amazing). When we got there and managed to haul ourselves aboard the floating park, it was terrifyingly difficult to stand because of the motion of the water. But I have to say, once we all got our sea-legs, we had the most awesome time EVER! As a family, we've never had so much fun. We laughed and laughed and laughed for 3 solid hours. We swam back to shore and rested for a couple of hours and then we headed back for more fun. We finally left the park just before 7pm, completely and utterly exhausted and sunburnt to a crisp (and this morning I'm so sore I can barely move), but it was totally worth every penny we spent. If you get a chance, go. You won't regret it.

I was there with 8 kids aged 6 to 13 and they all loved it. Stayed from open to close. The park is pretty far out so for 5 and 6 year olds I suggest that someone help them get out there. It is a big swim and they may not be able to do it on their own.

Wow! I saw lots of hype for this park on social media so I thought I would check it out. I was a little hesitant with how far the park is from beach, but I was VERY HAPPY that I was able to easily walk 3/4 of the distance. Even the last bit is a very easy swim as there was no current I had to fight. The park it self is very impressive. It starts at a start finish line and leads to an central island. From there you can go 4 different ways. The whole park is set up as a race (2 lanes on each obstacle) but is obviously doable as lone competitor. I would say my personal favorite is the adventure tour(it's like a giant cliff with a slide on one side!). Imagine cliff jumping without the hard work of having to hike up a trail to jump! Long story short, I will be buying a season pass! This place is seriously cool. Hangout on the beach, catch some sun, the go run around and challenge people yo a race. It's a great time! 10/10 would totally recommend this park!
