SeaWorld Changing Its Corporate Name
to United Parks & Resorts Inc.

Company is starting the new year with a new name uniting its
portfolio of iconic parks and experiences

SeaWorld Entertainment has announced that it is changing its name to United Parks & Resorts Inc., effective Feb. 12, 2024. The new name unites the Company’s world-class portfolio of seven brands across 13 parks in the United States and Abu Dhabi. 

The name change affects only the name of the parent company – SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. The Company’s portfolio of parks – SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove, Sesame Place, Water Country USA, Adventure Island, and Aquatica – retain their respective park names. 

“Our new company name, United Parks & Resorts Inc., better reflects that we have been, and will continue to be, a diverse collection of park brands and experiences. Each of our iconic parks, including the four SeaWorld parks in Orlando, San Antonio, San Diego and Abu Dhabi, will continue to operate under the same names our guests know and love. What also remains unchanged is our deep commitment to creating experiences that matter for our guests and inspiring them to help protect animals and the wild wonders of the world,” said Marc Swanson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 

The Company has 12 park locations across the United States and a 13th park, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, opened in the United Arab Emirates in 2023.
