The water rides are always my kid’s favorites… okay mine too! There is one big ride, the Sky Splash where you sit in a big round float with about 8 people and there is a big drop! I’m such a wuss about rides! There are also some attractions that are just big slides, and areas to play in or climb – which are great because these don’t have lines or wait times! The “scariest” ride is the roller coaster that has a hill, but nothing too major! You have to be 3 years old to ride the Vapor Trail (roller coaster) with an adult. Our favorites include the Sunny Day Carousel, Elmo’s flying fish, Monster Mix-Up Teacups and the Elmo’s Cloud Chaser swings. The dry rides include traditional park rides, all with a Sesame theme. About half of the park is “dry” rides and the other half is a water park. The Sheraton Bucks County is right across the street from Sesame Place. Both are great options, depending on your kids. There are several hotels close by and many families choose to stay over and do two slower paced days at the park. We would then head out around 6 or 7, grab dinner in one of the restaurants off the highway and then head home with sleepy kids in tow. We would drive down, arrive for the 10:00 opening and stay all day. On all of our visits we chose to do Sesame as a day trip. This park is definitely geared for little ones, I’d say about ages 1 -6 (maybe 7 or 8 if visiting with a younger sibling). We first visited Sesame Place when little man was 3 and baby girl was about 9 months old. From where we live on the South Shore of Long Island, it’s a little over 2 hours away. Sesame Place is a Sesame Street themed amusement park located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, about 27 miles north of Philadelphia. Hover over image to pin for later: Sesame Place Tips

I honestly do not think we will go this year, for the first time in 5 summers! I am a bit sad about this! But my guys have “graduated” to a bigger water park (we have a Splish Splash visit scheduled in a couple of weeks), but we have gone to Sesame Place for the past five summers and I am thrilled to share my best Sesame Place tips to help younger families plan their most awesome trip.

One park that has always made our summer must-do list is Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. You all know I love the beach and pool, but another summer (and spring/ fall) activity that our family loves is to visit theme parks! This past winter we were lucky enough to visit Legoland Florida twice, have a brunch at Chef Mickey at Walt Disney World, and have visited our local amusement park, Adventureland, many times.
