Sesame Place San Diego
I grew up watching Sesame Street and when my kids were born, they learned math, the alphabet, and how to be kind through the characters on the show. For those familiar with the show, you’ll remember that the stories are centered on 123 Sesame Street and the iconic Stoop. When you walk into Sesame Place San Diego, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right onto the street where the iconic show takes place complete with Hooper’s Store, Abby Cadabby’s Garden, and Big Bird’s Nest.
Sesame Place San Diego features 18 themed-rides and water attractions, a family-friendly roller coaster, and a 500,000 gallon wave pool. Daily live character shows, an award-winning parade, and adorable photo opportunities make this unique theme park one of the most memorable in Southern California. And for families with children who have special needs, Sesame Place is a Certified Autism Center, offering quiet rooms, low sensor spaces and experiences, and a ride accessibility program.
