You can see all of the individual prices online and see if you come out ahead. If you decide to do the Maid Of The Mist and Cave Of The Winds (highly recommend both), then the rest is basically free. Trolley is convenient, but yes, good for one day only, The movie is decent. The aquarium is small, but they do a good job for what they have (about a 2 hour visit). Discovery Center is not worth it. We felt we got our money's worth. (you can see my reviews and tips on each individual activity)

Not exactly the same thing, but I purchased a penguin encounter for my son and it was lovely! Intimate and staff was great.
