Justice Department Opens Investigation into SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and Aquatica Orlando for Disability Discrimination

The Justice Department is investigating United Parks & Resorts, which owns SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, after complaints that the parks discriminate against guests with disabilities by banning rollator walkers. The agency says this may violate the ADA because some guests need these walkers to access the parks and the alternatives offered do not meet their needs.
