Sesame Place Philadelphia

📍 Langhorne, PA

★4.1(12,605 Google reviews)

Sesame Street-themed park with rides, character meet-and-greets, shows, a parade, and a seasonal water park opening late May. World's first Certified Autism Center theme park. Strongest for kids under 6.

★★★★★Featured review by Enrique Arellanes

Went during Easter weekend, this park is great for kids under 2. Has a lot of rides with easy access and toddler friendly. Only downside if any is the food options besides that I highly recommend for a day out with the family.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

The single best US theme park for families with children aged 1–6, and the top choice for families with autistic children thanks to the Certified Autism Center accreditation and trained staff. Older kids beyond age 7 may find the ride selection thin. Plan around the seasonal events calendar for the richest visit.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Book character dining (Dine with Elmo) in advance — it sells out on busy event weekends
⏰Download the Sesame Place app to track ride wait times and parade schedules in real time
đŸŽŸī¸Water Main opens late May — confirm dates before planning a water-focused visit
🚗Families with autistic children should review the Certified Autism Center resources on the park website before arrival

“Nice place. But I can't believe that Sesame Place Security said the F word during the call. You know that kids might see this”

Overview

Sesame Place Philadelphia is the only Sesame Street-themed amusement park in the world and the first theme park to earn Certified Autism Center designation from IBCCES. The park runs year-round seasonal events including Elmo's Springtacular and holiday programming. Character meet-and-greets with Elmo, Big Bird, and friends are a core draw. The Water Main seasonal water park adds slides and a wave pool from late May. Rides skew heavily toward toddlers and early elementary ages.
