Sesame Place, which is home to Sesame Street-themed rides and attractions including a family-friendly roller coaster, has announced that the San Diego-based theme park will open 26 March.
The second Sesame Place venue in the US will cover an area of 17 acres and will be the only Sesame Place location on the West Coast. The park will feature a musical play area and character shows, and a number of additional offerings including an interactive Sesame Street Neighbourhood featuring the iconic 123 Stoop, award-winning parades and photo opportunities. The immersive Sesame Street Neighbourhood features an interactive Elmo’s Window attraction, a motion-sensing digital game called Bike Shop Tricycle Challenge, the Sesame Street Apartment Intercom and the Sunny Day Carousel.
“This is an exciting milestone for our company, as this is the second Sesame Place in the United States and the first new theme park we’ve opened since 2013,” said Marc Swanson, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment CEO.
He added: “Having spent part of my career with this company at the original Sesame Place in Pennsylvania and being part of its success, I’m looking forward to continuing the legacy on the West Coast and providing a fun place to visit where life-long memories are created as fans experience what they love about the iconic show in a new way.”
