Sesame Place, for ages two to 12, combines water-themed play areas with Sesame Street characters. Splash down slides and try the rides at Elmo's World or Twiddlebug Land, where giant toys make you feel like a tiny bug. The full-size Sesame Neighborhood features Bert and Ernie's house and Oscar the Grouch's garbage can, while loveable stalwarts Oscar, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster, among others, characters entertain the crowds in regular stage shows.

For a worry-free environment in which to enjoy Halloween, join the park's annual Count's Halloween Spooktacular, featuring pumpkin painting, hay rides, and a maze, and later the Count and his cronies dance and sing at Countdown to Halloween. Kids trick-or-treat around the park, snagging goodies such as Tastykakes and potato chips, and they can participate in a costume contest as well.
