Sesame Place Amusement Park! Firsthand guide - neighborhoods, characters, rides, and water park!

If you've got some young Sesame Street fans in your life, then Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania might be for you. It's a children's amusement park about 30 minutes from Philadelphia, PA and has a lot of fun packed into it. In this video, I'll tell you everything you need to know about the park so you can plan an amazing trip there.
To start off, Sesame Place is broken down into a few themed neighborhoods: Sesame Plaza, Sesame Neighborhood, Elmo's World, Cookie's Monster Land, The Count's Court, Sesame Island, and Twiddlebug Land. These areas are filled with your favorite Sesame Street characters (like Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby, Oscar, Grover, Bert and Ernie, and more), dry rides, roller coasters, water park activities, and water slides. Plus, you can see some like shows (Elmo the Musical: LIVE! and The Magic of Art), parades, and fireworks. If you're planning a family vacation to Sesame Place, make sure to watch the video to see all the things you can see and do.

I havent been here since i was four so this was quite the nostalgic throw back

[@xxkookiegirlxx708]

Going here as a fieldtrip with my best friends from school in 5 days! I’m so excited even though it’s based off a toddler show, we’ve been looking forward to it for months! Not only because of the park, it’s the first time going to an amusement park with my #1 best friend! I’m so excited, I can’t wait!!!

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

Hopefully you have an amazing time.

[@xxkookiegirlxx708]

Firsthand Globetrotting Thank you!

[@tabithaw.8815]

Was fun?

[@bluewarhead1058]

How was it

[@bxbarbie89]

Thank you so much such a great video it’s anwsered all my questions

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I'm glad it helped! Hopefully you have a great trip there.

[@FullTimeCoasterTour]

Fantastic vid. We are heading there today to ride those two coasters on our tour! I have to admit I'm a little more excited than I should be. I have not been to sesame place in about 30 years and it looks so incredibly different than when I was a kid. I can't wait to try and see if anything jogs my memories! Thanks for posting. This was helpful and enjoyable!

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

Thanks! I hope you have fun on the coasters and it brings back a lot of great memories.

[@Erica-ls7bp]

You did a great job reviewing this park, very informative. Kudos and thank you.

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks.

[@bloofan06]

Thank you for this virtual trip. I went to Sesame Place ages and ages ago in Texas with my mom and my little brother. He was about 3 or 4 and I was probably 13, but I think I had more fun than he did. It closed down a long long time ago and I've always been curious about it. When we were there, they didn't have many rides from what I remember.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CANT WAIT IM GOING TOMMOROW SO I NEEDED TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mayal8152]

This was a awesome video, I loved it , I never even knew this park was literally right in the same state as me. taking my sons in June 2022!!

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I hope you all have a great time there!

[@Gmirra5849]

Wasn't very excited about this, but after looking at the video... I can wait! Everything seems so age appropriate.

[@ibethL0711]

Thank you , very interesting and informative, any suggestions for a hotel or place to stay near by? Great video 👍👍

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I'm glad you liked it. I recommend one of the nearby hotels that has a free shuttle to the park. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. It wasn't fancy, but had a free breakfast and free shuttle (about 5 minutes to the park). We were at the park all day, so we were only at the hotel at bedtime so we didn't need anything too extravagant. Plus, pretty much everyone else at the hotel was going to Sesame, so definitely family friendly.

[@Greenleesgirl]

Is this park big enough to entertain a 4 year old for a day or would I need more than one day? Looking at more so the "dry" rides and attractions. Great video, thank you!

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

Definitely plenty to entertain them for an entire day. If you want to do some of the other stuff like water park, live shows, pictures with characters, then I'd definitely recommend a second day. Time flies when you are moving at pre-schooler/toddler speeds, especially if there are lineups.

[@stephaniegittinger7980]

When I went there was a huge Big Bird slide at the entrance, which kicked off ny terror of Big Bird

[@bigrigJim]

no, the first thing I noticed at 8:50 was actually the massive line I'm gonna be waiting in.

[@RDhomemusic]

I remember going there when I was 9 and my sister was 5 and we were there for like 2 hours and never once did I see my favorite character, Rosita and if they got rid of Rosita I'm gonna be upset

[@Winkmmb]

Great review. Thanks

[@nickmychildhood5113]

40 minutes from Philadelphia for me

[@Amandak-qx6op]

6 hours from philadelphia for me

[@heavencarter2258]

would my son enjoy it for his first birthday?

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

He would probably be too small for many of the rides but there would still be characters to see, and a few smaller rider and pools.

[@igniscoepi8667]

It is so cuuuuuuute!!!

[@carlazurita4045]

I’m going tomorrow I’m so hyped

[@Neslie460]

Do u need to pay separately for the rides?

All of the rides are included with your ticket.

As far as I remember, the Fish that can be seen in Elmo’s World is named Dorothy.

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I think you are right, if I remember the Elmo's World show correctly.

[@LuigiLaitinen]

That’s correct, Mark.

[@camtube4026]

there are 3 shows not 2 you missed Abby paradise theater

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

Unfortunately that one wasn't on when we went.

[@alviabbas9337]

Water park is the same park right? And we hve to take tickets separately

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

It's part of the main park so no separate tickets are needed. You just walk between the water section and the other parts.

[@jomariekonerth2778]

Oh i know!!!!

[@utopia_jeon]

Do you think I can ride the roller coasters bc I am 5"7

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

You can ride the bigger roller coasters for sure, and most of the rides that aren't the toddler-only ones.

[@utopia_jeon]

@@FirsthandGlobetrotting okay thank you bc I am going to sesme place in 2 weeks with my cousin and thank you again

[@camtube4026]

can I try Oscar wacky taxi

[@Amandak-qx6op]

I'm going in 3 days I need suggestions of what to do there

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

The main things they have there are the rides/water park, visiting the characters, the parades, and the shows.

[@Amandak-qx6op]

@@FirsthandGlobetrotting thank you now I'm going tomorrow

[@aishatufail6883]

Very gud 👍 can we take outside food

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

Not when I went (other than if you brought baby food). You could only eat food you bought there. Lots of people seemed to go out to their cars and eat their own lunch there.

[@JamieNotLamie]

Quick question, bringing my 41 inch 3 1/2 year old and we definitely want to do water stuff but, should I bring a life jacket for her or use theirs as mine isn't coastguard certified? Doubt they'll check but I don't know if she'll even need hers or what.

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

They had some there but we just brought some floaties (the ones with some foam across the chest and the two arm circles).

[@JamieNotLamie]

@@FirsthandGlobetrotting okay, glad I can bring one if I want, but then again I'm trying to avoid lockers and have everything fit in a little backpack so, we'll see! I'm officially booked now though so, it's going to be a long week. 😆

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

What we did was bring a stroller to load all of our stuff onto and then whenever we went on rides put out valuables in a waterproof pouch that we brought with us.

[@JamieNotLamie]

@@FirsthandGlobetrotting that's actually what we ended up doing! We did cautiously leave our phones buried in our stuff in the stroller while in the water park and whatnot as I did order some waterproof phone packs but they came the day after we left thanks to prime day slowing us down I guess. :/ But we did have a blast and it was perfectly safe leaving our stuff in the stroller so long as we covered everything with the canopy, it seemed off limits enough that people actually put their stuff UNDER our stroller, so I guess it looked safe. But regardless, we had a total blast and I'm so glad I got the 2 day tickets. She has a new love in Snuffy.

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

Awesome! I'm glad you had such a good time.

[@floravindel8487]

Great video. We're from San Diego, CA and we're planning on flying out in the month of March. Do you know happen to know how's the weather like in Pennsylvania. Or when is the best time to go?

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I think March would be in the 40s and low 50s. We went at the end of the season (early September) and it was nice because it was warm enough for the water park but not too hot. I think you should definitely try to go when it is good water park weather since about 1/2 of the park is water attractions.

[@jordanshepetofsky2677]

I haven't been to Sesame Place for YEARS!!!!!!!! 😂 Is it still around?

So even with an adult the child under 3'6 can't ride? I'm planning a trip with my 3'5 and 2'5 height little ones..

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

3 feet (36 inches) was the cutoff for many of the rides even if a parent was there. There are a few rides that children under 3 feet can go on and a few you need to be even taller but the cutoff for most of the ones I saw was 3 feet.

[@seeker6355]

[@NextLevelAutoDiagnostics]

We went on 8/23/19... forecast was A.M. rain but it drizzled throughout the afternoon with temps in upper 60s. We saw no characters on the street....only during the parades. Your video is dead on. I wish I watched it before our 2 hr trip. Thanks so much. Do you know if there is a cost involved with the 1 2 3 smile with me?

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

There was no cost to meet the characters at 1 2 3 Smile With Me, but if you want the official photos there is a cost. Most people just took pictures with their own phones for free.

[@NextLevelAutoDiagnostics]

Firsthand Globetrotting Thanks so much....we plan on visiting again and your help is priceless.

Glad I could help!

Firsthand Globetrotting I'm sorry....do you have tips for Disney World? I can't decide whether to rent a car,. where to stay...etc.

Unfortunately I've never been to Disney World before. Sorry I couldn't help.

[@rachelnicholas6149]

Hi, great review. Did you buy a ticket for your 2.5 yr old. My son is 26 months and we are heading there soon.

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I think the rule when we went was that everyone 2 or older needed a ticket, so we had to buy one for her.

All of the rides are free with your ticket.

[@natycurls6144]

Would this be good for a two year old?

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I went with a 2.5 year old and she loved it. But if the child is under 36 inches tall, there aren't many rides they can go on.

[@amywei6880]

Is This Sponsored?

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

Haha, nope. I had to pay full price for everything.

[@AG-ot2me]

Can you take babies on some rides?

[@FirsthandGlobetrotting]

I don't think you can take babies on most rides if they aren't old enough for their own seat. I think you can have a baby in your arms on the carousel, the splash parks, and pools. Most of the others required the kids to be able to sit on their own.
