What Tips Do You Have for Visiting Sesame Place with Kids?

[ChefMary412]

has anyone ever been to Sesame Place? I am headed there on the 28th with my family. My daughter is almost 4 and my son is 15... he is a trooper. He is willing to go along for his sister as long as he can get a good cheese steak sandwich. haha. Has anyone ever been? Have any advice?
We are doing one breakfast with ELmo and friends. We have a 2 day pass, since it came with our package.

Thanks!

I went almost 5 years ago with my then 2 year old. They have water attractions, so wear your bathing suit under your clothes. Ummm. the food is a little pricey (of course LOL), you have to pay for parking.
It's a cute little park, have fun

We've gone the past 2 summers. Not going this year b/c we got Six Flags season passes. My kids are now 5 and 8. While I think my older one would still like it, for us it's not worth the overnight stay. My husband and I had enough last year. Your younger one will have fun. Your son will need a nice reward. The first year we went with friends who have kids about the same age as ours. If you can get there first thing in the morning, you'll have shorter lines though I didn't consider it crazy crowded any of the times we were there. Last year it was raining on our first day so we went to the Crayola Factory - not the thing to do on a rainy weekend day. We got to Sesame Place after the rain ended with about 1-2 hours left til it closed. We practically had the place to ourselves so did all of the rides and didn't put our swimsuits on. The next day we repeated some rides and did the water part. It's not a terribly big place so you won't get worn out walking all over. That's part of why my husband and I decided we're done with it. Toward the end of the second day, we had already done all of the rides a few times each. We did not do a character meal. We did rent a locker - usually for storing swimsuits and towels, etc.

It's a fun place. Let me know if you have questions.
