Sesame Place

Sesame Place

Did you know that there is an entire theme park in Pennsylvania dedicated to Sesame Street? We went there for last minute day trip last week. It's small, but packed with fun. I actually enjoyed the fact that the park was small. I had all three kids with me by myself, and the park was easy to manage.  

Sesame Place's target audience is families with toddlers. Which makes it great in most ways, but a pain in other ways. For example to get on the lazy river you have to wait in line and the life guard helps every single person. This is perfect if you have young children and need help. If you are like me and have older kids then it stinks to have to stand in line for so long.

The best advice I can give you is bring a bathing suit. I would guess that 65% of this park is water features. 

Again, because the park is toddler friendly most of the water play areas are shallow. I think the deepest water in the park was the lazy river. There were at least two splash pads and one very shallow pool. 

It's definitely worth the wait for the 

large family tube ride, it was so fun.

If you are not into water rides there is still plenty to do. The climbing course was massive, but a bit to difficult for my five year old. Luckily there are lots of rides (including this yellow bounce thing you see in the picture below) right next to the climbing area. This play area is great place for multiple ages. Your older kids can run around while still in sight, while you are nearby with the younger kid.
