Top 25 Theme Parks Worldwide
Of the 25 parks around the world with the highest 2024 theme park attendance, nine are located in the U.S., with Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort topping the list, followed by Disneyland Park (#2), Epcot (#8), Hollywood Studios (#9), California Adventure (#11), Universal Studios Florida (#13), Islands of Adventure (#14), Animal Kingdom (#15), and the small but mighty Universal Studios Hollywood (#16). Keep in mind that Epic Universe is not included in the index since it was not open in 2024.
Of the international parks in the top 25, two are Universal parks—Universal Studios Japan (#3) and Universal Studios Beijing (#12)—while six are Disney parks, Tokyo Disneyland (#4), Shanghai Disneyland (#5), Tokyo DisneySea (#7), Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris Resort (#10), Hong Kong Disneyland (#17), and Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris (#20). That means that, among the world’s top destinations for 2024 theme park attendance, Disney boasts 12, nearly 50%.
Of the top 20 theme parks in North America, it should be no surprise to anyone that Disney snagged six of the top ten spots, with Universal taking spots #6, #7, and #9. SoCal locals’ beloved Knott’s Berry Farm slid in at #10.
