United Parks and Resorts (parent of SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove) released Q1 2026 results this morning. Revenue $278.3 million, down 3% year-over-year. Attendance 3.22 million, with roughly 140,000 guests lost to weather and another 80,000 to declines in international visitation. The bright spots: a record in-park per-capita spend of $40.62, pass sales up around 10% in Q1 (about 12% through April 30), and Discovery Cove pacing a double-digit percentage ahead of 2025.
SeaWorld Orlando is offering U.S. military veterans a free single-day ticket plus up to three free guest tickets for Military Appreciation Month, with up to six additional tickets at 50 percent off. Registration through Waves of Honor closes Sunday, May 10, with park visits required by June 30. Active-duty service members, activated reservists, and National Guard members continue to receive their separate year-round complimentary admission benefit.
Aquatica Orlando's Aloha to Summer event hits its final weekend on May 2 and 3 before the park transitions into AquaGlow nights starting May 15. Here is what is left to catch and what is coming next.
