SeaWorld & Busch Gardens (United Parks & Resorts)

United Parks & Resorts, the group behind the SeaWorld and Busch Gardens brands, appears in this guide with 6 parks in the United States and the United Arab Emirates: 3 marine animal parks (SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Diego and the indoor SeaWorld Abu Dhabi), 2 water parks (Aquatica Orlando, Sesame Place San Diego) and the Busch Gardens Tampa theme park. SeaWorld Orlando is world-class and the rest are strong regional; the rough price level is the middle one.

Unlike LEGOLAND or Six Flags, which focus on one audience, this chain's parks have a mixed profile: 3 are aimed at mixed groups, 2 at thrill seekers and one at families with young children. Its marine animal parks set it apart from Disney and Universal, and its price level is one step below theirs.
