A History of Sesame Place

Not many things make young children smile more than the lovable characters from Sesame Street, which makes Sesame Place a favorite spot for a family getaway. Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert and the rest of the gang welcome guests to this fun-filled theme park from the beginning of May until the end of October every year.

Located in Langhorne, PA, Sesame Place first opened in 1980 as a 3-acre play area complete with computer labs. Since then it has expanded into a 14-acre full-fledged amusement park filled with roller coasters, water rides, shows, and other attractions. Operated by SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, a division of The Blackstone Group, Sesame Place is proud to be the first theme park in Pennsylvania to become totally smoke-free.

Guests will find that there’s no shortage of things to do during a visit to Sesame Place. Big Bird’s Rambling River and the Vapor Trail make easy rides for younger children, while the 6-story high Sky Splash and Nets ‘n’ Climbs stand out as some of the more high-energy attractions for older kids. Along with the multitude of rides, Sesame Place also offers a variety of entertaining shows, including Elmo’s World Live, Rock Around the Block Parade, and Abby Cadabby’s Treasure Hunt. Meanwhile, special events, such as the Count’s Spooktacular during October, lure in more Sesame Street followers. Plus, fireworks fans will want to visit the park during Memorial Day, Labor Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day for an exciting show.
