- United Parks & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: PRKS), formerly SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc., owns and operates a diversified portfolio of theme parks and entertainment destinations across the United States, featuring zoological collections, rides, shows, and attractions that emphasize animal encounters, education, and conservation. The company provides marine life exhibits, roller coasters, thrill rides, water slides, and interactive experiences through brands including SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Aquatica, Sesame Place, Discovery Cove, Adventure Island, Water Country USA, and Sea Rescue; its parks offer admissions, in-park food and merchandise sales, seasonal events such as Howl-O-Scream and Seven Seas Food Festival, and animal rescue programs that have aided over 41,000 animals since inception. Operations span key U.S. markets with 12 properties grouped as eight theme parks in locations including Orlando and Tampa (Florida), San Diego and Chula Vista (California), San Antonio (Texas), Williamsburg (Virginia), and Langhorne (Pennsylvania), alongside four affiliated water parks and a licensed SeaWorld park in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Founded in 1964 with the opening of SeaWorld San Diego, the company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida, and maintains one of the world's largest zoological collections with accredited animal care standards. In early 2024, it rebranded from SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. to United Parks & Resorts Inc., effective February 12, with its NYSE ticker changing from SEAS to PRKS, to better reflect its multi-brand portfolio including Busch Gardens and Sesame Place while retaining individual park names. Recent strategic developments include new attraction launches in 2024 such as Arctic Rescue at SeaWorld San Diego, Penguin Trek at SeaWorld Orlando, and Catapult Falls at SeaWorld San Antonio; announcements for 2025-2026 additions like SeaQuest: Legends of the Deep and a flying experience at SeaWorld Orlando, Barracuda Strike coaster at SeaWorld San Antonio, Shark Encounter redevelopment at SeaWorld San Diego, and Lion & Hyena Ridge at Busch Gardens Tampa; a $500 million share repurchase authorization approved in September 2025; and active international expansion pursuits via memoranda of understanding and a development advisory agreement for potential new parks. The company targets families, groups, and tourists with broad demographic appeal, generating revenue primarily from admissions and in-park spending while advancing animal welfare, rescue, and conservation initiatives.
