Mariner’s Cove Boardwalk is ready to open this month after a winter and spring of renovations and securing new vendors.
New vendors include Island’s Frozen Yogurt, a self serve frozen yogurt bar, and Island Waffles, a new business to PEI that will serve fresh waffles any time of the day, including a special PEI Potato Waffle.
The renovations include a brand new lobby for Wax World of the Stars, which will include an awards night scene, complete with red carpet and 10 new wax figures straight out of Hollywood.
In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, Wax World of the Stars has also installed a Canada 150 room, full of Canadian icons, including Terry Fox, Lois Riel, Lucy Maud Montgomery and everyone’s favorite redhead, Anne Shirley.
Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Odditorium has several new interactive exhibits, including a Color Brite wall, an interactive Spin Browser, which allows users to control the speed of an incredible video shot in very slow motion.
Returning to the boardwalk include Cocoon at the Beach Spa, Mariner’s Cove Mining Company, the popular Shooting Gallery, Tim Horton’s and Mariner’s Cove Real Miniature Golf.
The boardwalk will open for weekends starting May 20, and beginning June 3, will stay open daily until September 24, 2017.
Mariner’s Cove operator Matthew Jelley summed it up, “It’s always a sure sign of summer for this property to open, but we are especially excited this year with all the changes and new attractions at the site. All signs point to 2017 being our best season yet.”
