Theme park lovers, rejoice! SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment and Sesame Workshop have announced an all-new Sesame Place theme park in San Diego, which will open on March 26. 

The Sesame Place theme park will be the first West Coast location, and the second location in the U.S. The 17-acre park will be open year-round and will feature 18 Sesame Street-themed rides; water attractions (including a 500,000-gallon wave pool – one of the largest in Southern California); a musical play area; and an interactive Sesame Street Neighborhood complete with the iconic 123 Stoop, daily live character shows, parades, photo opportunities, and the fan-favorite furry friends.

Each themed ride is designed with a Sesame Street character in mind, such as Cookie Climb in which guests pull themselves to the top of Cookie Monster-themed towers; Elmo’s Rockin’ Rockets that fly on an imaginary trip through outer space; or Super Grover’s Box Car Derby, a family-friendly roller coaster full of hills, big turns, and mini dives. Additionally, park visitors can splish and splash all day long in themed water attractions including Bert’s Topsy Turvy Tunnels, Snuffy’s Spaghetti Slides, and Oscar’s Rotten Rafts.

Those who purchase season passes will be the park’s first guests and will gain access to exclusive grand opening events filled with character meet-and-greets, photo opportunities, and collector items. They will also enjoy a full year of fun with unlimited visits and special benefits.

Kids and parents can snatch a season pass now at a pre-opening price of $129 on Sesame Place’s website. Season pass holders will receive unlimited visits from March 26 this year through Jan. 2 next year with no blockout dates. They’ll also receive free parking, free guest tickets, and in-park discounts on food, beverage, merchandise, and experiences, as well as access to all seasonal events, including The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular and A Very Furry Christmas.
