Sesame Place® Philadelphia

Sesame Place® Philadelphia, located in Langhorne, makes everyone’s favorite furry friends on Sesame Street® come to life! Opened in 1980, the amusement park is popular for always having something fun to do just for kids like meet, hug and get a photograph with characters, including Elmo and other friends. The nation’s only theme park based entirely on the award-winning children’s show, Sesame Place has grown a lot since then.

Sesame Place® Philadelphia partnered with The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), to become the first theme park in the world to be designated as a Certified Autism Center (CAC) in 2018. That same year the park released the ride Oscar’s Wacky Taxi™, a wooden-steel hybrid roller coaster! 

Other popular park attractions include mechanical rides like the Vapor Trail roller coaster, Big Bird's Tour Bus, and 9 water attractions, including The Count's Splash Castle, a variety of stage shows for kids to sing, dance and clap along to and a spectacularly huge Sesame Street Party Parade. Also, don’t miss Cookie’s Monster Land™, Sesame’s furriest land ever, featuring five rides, a three-story net climb and more!
