Parks are ranked by estimated 2024 attendance for individual parks (not resort totals), from the 2024 TEA Global Experience Index (formerly the TEA/AECOM Theme Index), published by the Themed Entertainment Association in 2025 and the most recent edition available as of October 2026. Figures are taken from the 2024 column of the North America table in Wikipedia's List of amusement park rankings (permanent revision 1377863670), which cites that report; this is the same edition and source revision used for the site's world theme-parks list. Only the 2024 edition is used; no figures from other years are mixed in. TEA's figures are estimates for parks whose operators do not publish gate counts. Water parks are ranked separately by TEA and are excluded. Values are shown in millions to two decimals. Rank 1 is the most-visited park.
Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, with an estimated 17.84 million visits in 2024 according to the TEA Global Experience Index. It was also the most-visited park in the world that year.
Disney, with six: Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Disney California Adventure and Animal Kingdom. Universal has three (Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Hollywood). Knott's Berry Farm, run by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation since the 2024 Cedar Fair-Six Flags merger, is the only other entry.
It is the Themed Entertainment Association's annual report on attendance at the world's leading theme parks, water parks and museums, formerly published with AECOM as the TEA/AECOM Theme Index. Figures come from operators where published and are otherwise TEA estimates.
No. Epic Universe opened in Orlando in May 2025, so it has no attendance in the 2024 edition used here. It can first appear in the 2025 edition.
