My son has been to Sesame each summer for the last three summers, and we took our 2 year old for the first time this year. Although my son (just turned 6) was hoping for some bigger rides, he had a blast. The "best" ride for him was the Grover roller coaster. There is plenty to do for kids of their (2 1/2 and 6) age. They loved the character lunch and took pictures with them all. Sesame does a great job making the characters available to the kids and keeping it organized. Although you hope for a beautiful day, there is a good mix of water rides, dry rides, and indoor activities. The park has always been clean and well run, although a friend of ours had a different experience when she took her kids. Let me know what your experience has been!
Advise if you plan on going:
-Check Sesame's site for package deals. They tend to be a good prices.
-Look for coupon codes online- there are tons of them!
=If you go for 2 days, the park is small enough to do everything a couple of times and go for a meal or 2 outside of the park! There are plenty of places right by the park.
-The parade is great, just plan to get to the route about half an hour early. Every one advises watching the parade where the blue pavement meets the black pavement. Just watch out for bully parents that will actually block out your kids!
-If you have young kids and are in the North East, Sesame Place is a must!
Where did we stay?
We've been to 2 other hotel's when going to Sesame in the past, but this time we went to the Courtyard by Marriot in Langhorne, PA.
Here's the skinny
Included breakfast- decent
Room- clean
Free Wifi
Free shuttle service to and from Sesame... MOST hotels in this area offer this service! If you plan on staying in the area, make sure there is a shuttle- beats parking in the lot and dealing w/ traffic.
Pool- clean and empty when we went!
Would I recommend this hotel? Yes. Beats out the other 2 we've stayed at.
