Whether you’re planning a domestic trip or one abroad, it’s common to center a family vacation around a theme park. But, that can come with a hefty price tag depending on where you go.

To find the most expensive theme parks around the world, FloridaPanhandle analyzed and ranked 847 theme parks by the average cost of an adult admission, using data from TheParkDatabase. Even though just 118 of the 847 parks included in the study are located in the U.S., America takes up 16 of the 20 spots in the ranking of the most expensive parks in the world.
