💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Visit on weekdays to experience lower crowds, though weekends offer more character meet-and-greet opportunities. Choose based on whether you prioritize shorter wait times or character interactions.
• 💡Season passes are the most affordable option if visiting multiple times. Many visitors also save money by tailgating in the parking lot before entering the park.
• 💡Download the Sesame Place app before your visit to purchase tickets, check ride wait times, and reserve dining experiences like 'Dine with Elmo and Friends' which includes character table visits and photo ops.
• 💡The park is ideal for toddlers through mid-elementary school age children. Plan to include character dining experiences and shows, as these are popular with young kids and provide indoor warm-up breaks during water park days.
• 💡Parking is available but pricey; consider arriving early to secure a spot. Picnic tables are provided in select parking areas, so bringing your own food can significantly reduce meal costs.
