Let's start with the car ride. Our family resides in Southern New Jersey. We left around 9am to head out to Langhorne, PA and it only took us about an hour to get there! Not too bad with two little kids. We were a bit nervous because there were a LOT of clouds out that morning. That being said, there was also a forecast saying the sun was going to come through. My gut told me to just risk it, so we went and we were so glad we did!
Once we arrived Colton immediately started yelling out the characters he could see on the drive in alone. Sooooo cute. I totally die at the sound of his little voice shouting out his favorite characters on TV. As I mentioned in our YouTube video description, we were also gifted with the same package we are giving away. We received one (1) complimentary ticket and four (4) 50% off coupons. Since there was only 4 of us, we used up 1 comp ticket and 3 discount tickets. A savings of approximately $180 for our family! That helped us out SO MUCH!! The line to wait to redeem our tickets was short and the customer service people were so friendly, giving our children some stickers before we went in.
We made our way into the park to find the lockers. For $20 you can lock up your stuff all day and come back as you please through out the day. Since Sesame Place is both an amusement park as well as a water park, these lockers came in SUPER handy. Another tip: Don't forget your umbrella stroller! It was great for my little guy to stay in and not have to walk around the whole park and we also used it to hold our diaper bag when we went onto various rides.
Once we had our water gear, placed other items in the locker and were properly sun screened up, we made our way to the dry side of the park. And what do you know? The sun started to make it's way out!! We were so happy to see that! We started out on the carousel to sort of ease Colton into the rides. Michaela is always fine with these sort of things, so she was of no concern for us, but Colton is a wild card. I am happy to report that he LOVED that ride and he went on to go on the swings, the flyin' fish ride and many more. We were blown away at how both of our kids were never scared and just completely enjoyed themselves.
After we went on all the dry rides, we made our way over to Elmo's Eatery and the kids enjoyed some Chicken Nuggets, Mac N Cheese, French fries and apple sauce. They have a decent selection for adults, too. There were three salad choices, a few sandwiches and they even offer Gluten Free Pizza! The kids meals came with souvenir cups and plates which are featured in our YouTube episode. The kids still love to use those cups even now and it's been a few weeks since we were there.
Next up: The water park! Unfortunately we do not have a water friendly camera, so we do not have any pictures of our time on that side of the park, but I can tell you we had so much fun!! The water rides all come with vests at each one for your child to put on before they enter the ride. They have three sizes so that you can make sure your nugget is properly protected. And the tubes you ride on are great. The kids sit in front and mom/dad sit in back. Michaela particularly loved the Count's Splash Castle. It is a big water play area for the kids and every couple of minutes a giant bucket of water gets dumped on the kids. There are also some easier slides for the littlest ones in your family at this section of the park!
Overall we had a wonderful time! Bonus: The kids were exhausted and slept the entire 1 hour and 15 minutes ride home. And double bonus: We have memories to last us a life time. Do you want to take your family to Sesame Place, but maybe don't want to splurge on $70 a ticket right now? Check out our giveaway! We'd love to help you get there before summer is over!! And don't forget they are open year round and have tons of awesome events out side of summer time!! And of course, don't forget to watch the photo and video collage of our visit on our YouTube Channel!!
