This edutainment back and forth is tiring. Almost silly, even. Please recognize that lazyboy is never going to give you evidence because he can't provide legitimate examples of thriving edutainment. You won, I have declared it.
ETA - doctornick is the winner, that is.

That does not answer my question. I gave the Thea Award recipients as examples and those were dismissed because they do not reflect revenue and profits. Now you are just repeatedly saying they do not count without giving any reasoning.

I would say that the list of zero attractions you have listed is, indeed, insufficient to support your claim. Call me crazy.
I'll help you out here. In fact, I'll make it incredibly easy: I'll write your post for you and all you have to do is fill in the blanks to actually support your position. Ready? Good.
>>>>>>>
Here are specific examples of education entertainment that is thriving in the industry:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
>>>>>>>>
After each of those numbers you, y'know, list a specific attraction. Feel free to add more numbers if you have more examples. That's called "supporting your claim". That's what people do when they want to be taken seriously.
I won't be holding my breath.

What is wrong with Wonderkamers, Nature Lab, Titanic Belfast, the Polynesian Cultural Center, The Mind Museum, Yo México, The Changing Climate Show, YOU! The Experience, Fernbank NatureQuest and Barnas Brannstasjon? That's only 2012-2015.

My respect for Nick goes up Exponentially as this thread goes on.
Edit: Slightly unrelated, It seems like its turned into "Former Banned Member Returns to Troll Week"

Themed edutainment is massive currently. Try any museum, zoo, travelling popular science or art exhibition.
I see more astonishing thematic design nowadays in museum exhibits than in theme parks, it's former natural habitat.
Tiki lounge. This is not a theme park, but the 2014 Tiki Pop exhibition in the very prestigious Musee du Quai Branly:
I don't need to post a picture of travelling dinosaur / prehistoric animals exhibitions. There are many, including near where any of us live. Complete with massive, moving AA's that make Disney's and Universal's dinosaur AA's look like cheap, static knock-offs. Often set in themed period environments too.
Travelling popular science exhibits are bigger business than ever, owing to no small degree to their having embraced thematic design. Titanic, Star Wars Identities, or Caves of Lasceaux, rebuild complete environments and adopt other thematic design to attract a non-museum audience. One can Google those for pictures.

And there we, adults, were. Hoping to find a discussion about how the proliferation of themed edutainment influenced Disney to discard EPCOT as a viable concept. How indeed the spread of themed experiences outside the theme park environment (not least under the influence of Disney's success) caused Disney to identify it's library of story and IP to be it's unique distinguishing factor in light of that. Such that one can not understand the refocusing the past two decades of EPCOT and the MK without the influence of, and as a response to, the explosion of thematic entertainment (from restaurants to malls to even urban development such as former waterfronts turned into night districts) and thematic edutainment (new museums, refocused traditional museums, expositions).
Alas, instead we are treated to the resident dumbo, men in their forties, yapping how other grown men are trolls. Sad.

Speaking of, although strictly speaking not the North Sea, here is a modern example of how thematic edutainment has spread. The Titanic Museum. Slightly reminiscent of DisneySea.

I believe that The Space Shuttle Atlantis Experience at Kennedy Space Center is a great example of successful Themed Edutainment. Just poke around Nassal Co. website. They are the leader in themed entertainment and a big batch of their clientele is Educational Entertainment like Museums, Zoos, and exibits like The World of Coke in Atlanta.

Remember, this is World of Coke thats next to the Georgia Aquarium. Both absolutely fantastic places to visit.
Not to be confused with the neighborhoods by Turner Field.
There's also a museum right next to those two, plus the College Football Hall of Fame, Centennial Park, and Skyview Atlanta are all within a short walking distance....
Come next weekend and you'd get the free Dragoncon parade to boot....
