Parks! America, Inc. PRKA

Company Overview

Parks! America, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRKA) is a U.S.-based operator of regional safari parks and wildlife attractions focused on drive-through and walk-through animal experiences. The company operates in the broader leisure, recreation, and family entertainment industries, generating revenue primarily through admissions, animal encounters, food and beverage sales, gift shops, and related in-park activities. Its business model centers on destination-style wildlife parks that combine entertainment, conservation messaging, and educational programming.

The company’s principal operating assets have historically included Wild Animal Safari Pine Mountain in Georgia and Wild Animal Safari Strafford in Missouri, with prior ownership interests in other safari-related properties over time. Parks! America evolved from earlier wildlife park operations and repositioned itself around experiential animal attractions serving regional tourism and family travel markets. Its strategic positioning has generally emphasized lower-cost regional entertainment compared with large-scale destination theme parks, while leveraging live-animal experiences that are difficult to replicate digitally or through traditional amusement offerings.
