A Message from Leadership: Why Choose SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment.

At United Parks, we're redefining the event experience within our parks. Our ongoing investments in event infrastructure across our 12 parks go beyond creating moments; they craft unique, immersive experiences that only United Parks can deliver. What sets us apart is the unique fusion of one of the largest zoological collections in the world and captivating attractions, making our parks a truly one-of-a-kind venue. Picture this: your events surrounded by the enchanting marine life or the majesty of the Serengeti Plains , creating an atmosphere that sparks inspiration and captivates attendees in a way that only United Parks can.

But there's more. United Parks is not just a venue; it's a commitment to "events that matter." The revenue from our events directly fuels our initiatives in conservation, animal rescue, and welfare. By choosing United Parks, you're choosing to be part of something extraordinary.

At PCMA and United Parks & Resorts, we are all in the memory business and we work everyday to deliver seamless and unforgettable experiences for our guests and event attendees.

On behalf of everyone at United Parks & Resorts, thank you for the opportunity to collaborate with you on your event, providing your attendees with an experience they can’t find anywhere else. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where our natural wonders are preserved for generations to come.

Thank you for being a part of our journey at United Parks & Resorts, where every event matters.

Corporate Responsibility

Plastic Reduction

News and studies have shown alarming consequences of the growing threat of plastics to our oceans and wildlife. The Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group, estimates that eight million metrics tons of plastics enter the ocean each year, on top of the estimated 150 million metric tons that currently circulate the planet.

We have been at the forefront of animal rescue and ocean conservation for more than five decades as part of our mission to protect animals and habitats worldwide. Our efforts include the reduction of single-use plastics in our parks. In fact, SeaWorld San Antonio was the first theme park to eliminate plastic straws in 2018. Since then, we have removed all single use plastic straws and plastic coffee stir sticks, plastic shopping bags and expanded polystyrene foam products from all 13 of our parks.

Renewable Energy

We are continuing to invest in more renewable energy, such as our new solar project at SeaWorld San Antonio, our solar carport system at Sesame Place San Diego, and our solar array at Aquatica San Diego. These solar projects are expected to generate approximately 80 to 90 percent of the parks' energy use.

Reducing Waste and Emissions

We lowered our greenhouse gas emissions by nine percent from 2014 to 2017 and improved recycling of waste materials by more than 50 percent over the same period.

Responsible Food Sourcing

We are committed to providing sustainably and responsibly sourced food and beverages at our parks. Our Responsible Food Sourcing Policy outlines our commitment to partner with food suppliers that deliver products that meet or exceed sustainable, healthy and humane food standards, such as cage-free eggs and coffee sourced from vendors with programs supporting coffee sustainability. Where possible, we also partner with brands and products that share our commitment to giving back to communities, animals and/or our broader environment.

The standards include:

• Our seafood is sourced from organizations that promote environmentally responsible fishing and farming processing, and food safety practices.

• A commitment to source produce from local farms when and where possible.

• Park menus include plant-based options for guests.

• A commitment to sustainably source all coffee served to our guests and ambassadors.

• We have made a commitment to purchase commodity pork cuts from suppliers who have announced a commitment to humane farming practices.

• All eggs, including shell and liquid eggs, are sourced from cage-free chickens.
