About the owner: United Parks
United Parks is a publicly listed company headquartered in Orlando, United States. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control, and it is listed as NYSE: PRKS.
United Parks & Resorts is the Orlando-based theme park operator that changed its name from SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. in February 2024. Its FY2025 10-K dates the company to 1959, the opening of the first Busch Gardens park in Tampa. It uses the Busch Gardens name under a perpetual, exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free trademark licence from Anheuser-Busch, and operates Sesame Place under a licence from Sesame Workshop, so neither of those owners is the company. It also refers to a licensed SeaWorld-branded park in the United Arab Emirates, which it does not own.
