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.
The 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!
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.

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

βvisited the park on Tuesday, August 19. Lots of life jackets hanging for free for children. There were few people, no queues. We went to all the children's attractions quickly. The park is clean and tidy. Three big slides were closed. All the other three or four adult slides were open. Of the minuses, I did not like the inattention and lack of empathy on the part of the instructor in the children's area to some children, my shy son could not get to the green water slide in the children's area in order to go down it, other children ran in front of him, pushed my son aside and stood in front of him and my son always remained behind the queue, and the instructor standing there did not react in any way, the children slid down the slide, ran again and again pushed my son aside, the instructor did not observe the order of the queue. Then I suggested that my son slide down the pink slide, because there was no one there. Then when I had already climbed the slide, she again did not observe the queue order and then I told her: "No, my son is first!" I had to repeat this phrase to her three times, because my son let everyone pass and should not let anyone pass again, although the instructor decided that he should wait again. But everything should be fair and it was about 2:30 pmβ

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
