1 / 3Sesame Place San Diego
π Chula Vista, CA
Sesame Street-themed park with family rides, character meet-and-greets, shows, and water attractions. Best for preschool to early elementary kids who want manageable theme park fun.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families with preschoolers to early elementary kids who want a manageable Sesame Street experience with quality character time. The smaller size makes it less overwhelming than major theme parks, but very young toddlers may find limited age-appropriate water features. Go with realistic expectations about maintenance and costs.

βI love the smaller size of this park because itβs not too overwhelming or too crowded. There are a lot of water attractions for toddlers and rides too. Because itβs a smaller park, my daughter was able to meet most of the characters. They were so nice and patient with my daughter. They even welcomed a very long hug from my toddler. I would say this is a huge perk, especially for sensitive or kids on the spectrum. She was able to get brief but meaningful 1:1 attention from the characters who were walking around. Thank you!β

βThe most amazing time! My 2 year old loved it. She was able to get on 4 rides and then she got to play in the water park. The lazy river was so relaxing it made her take a good long nap so we had to leave. She woke up screaming, βElmo! Elmo!β Her way of saying she wanted to go back already lol Sesame Place will definitely be added to our annual vacation from now on just like Disney. Tip get the all day dinning pass. It pays for itself. The bacon burger, chicken tenders and pizza were good!β

βVery enjoyable for all ages. I received two bonus ticket to visit the park for free, we just had to pay for parking. The drive was far but it was worth it. Loved the wave pool and the lazy river. The employees were professional. Lots of seating which made all the difference. Hopefully I will revisit next summer.β
