ORLANDO, Fla. —
United Parks and Resorts, the parent company of SeaWorld Orlando, Discovery Cove, and Busch Gardens in Tampa, reported a decline in attendance across its theme parks during the third quarter.
According to its quarterly investor call this morning, fewer people visited the parks in Q3, but those who came spent more money.
The company said bad weather and a drop in international visitors contributed to missing its revenue targets.
It also noted that more passes were sold this year and expressed hope for a better outlook in 2027.
