SeaWorld
Marine theme park
SeaWorld is a chain of American marine theme parks featuring orca shows, aquariums, and ocean-themed rides.
The parks have drawn controversy over their treatment of captive killer whales, particularly after the 2013 documentary *Blackfish*: The SeaWorld debate reignited discussions about keeping marine mammals in captivity.
