United Parks & Resorts operates a portfolio of theme parks and entertainment attractions across the United States and internationally. The company's core business centers on the operation of SeaWorld marine mammal parks and Busch Gardens adventure parks, alongside complementary water park and entertainment venues. Its branded properties include SeaWorld (Orlando, San Antonio, San Diego, and Abu Dhabi), Busch Gardens (Tampa and Williamsburg), Aquatica water parks, Discovery Cove, Water Country USA, Adventure Island, Sesame Place, and a reservations-only theme park in Orlando. The company also operates attractions in Langhorne, Pennsylvania and Chula Vista, California.
Revenue is generated primarily through theme park admission fees, in-park spending on food and beverages, retail merchandise, and ancillary services including annual passes and special experiences. The company maintains a geographically diversified presence with parks in Florida, Texas, Virginia, California, Pennsylvania, and the United Arab Emirates, allowing exposure to both domestic leisure travel patterns and international tourism.
The company was formerly known as SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. before rebranding to United Parks & Resorts in February 2024, reflecting its expansion beyond marine parks. It was founded in 1959 and is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in Orlando, Florida.
