Sesame Street at SeaWorld Orlando, which brings all of the fun, laughter and learning of the educational children's television series to the Orlando theme park, has now opened.
The land features the iconic Sesame Street neighbourhood including Abby Cadabby’s Garden, Big Bird’s Nest, Mr. Hooper’s Store and the famous 123 Stoop, as well as everyone’s favourite Sesame Street friends.
The debut of this highly-anticipated, six-acre world-class attraction is the largest Sesame Street land inside of any of the SeaWorld theme parks and an exciting part of Sesame Street’s year-long 50th anniversary celebration.
Mark Pauls, SeaWorld Orlando:
“We are thrilled to officially welcome guests to walk down Sesame Street for the very first time in the theme park capital of the world. This highly-anticipated, immersive new land is the largest Sesame Street land inside of any our SeaWorld parks. With over 30 new ways to play and an award-winning parade, guests of all ages will love this new land and we are excited to share it with the world.”
Scott Chambers, Sesame Workshop:
“Theme parks represent one of the most powerful ways for families to engage with and delight in the Sesame Street characters. Sesame Street at SeaWorld Orlando will enable us to establish deeper connections with even more families while helping the Workshop sustain its nonprofit and educational mission.”
Sesame Street at SeaWorld Orlando brings together fun and learning through several educational interactive experiences. Elmo’s Window invites guests to play, dance, and sing with everybody’s favourite furry red monster and his friends. In Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck Challenge, guests follow video instructions to whip up some delicious meals with Cookie Monster and Gonger.
In addition, Sesame Street at SeaWorld Orlando includes six colourful, themed rides: Abby’s Flower Tower, Cookie Drop!, Slimey’s Slider, Big Bird’s Twirl ‘n’ Whirl, Elmo’s Choo Choo Train and Super Grover’s Box Car Derby. Another favourite of the new land is the Rubber Duckie Water Works wet play area.
Scheduled daily highlights in the neighbourhood include Storytime with Big Bird at his nest and the award-winning Sesame Street Party Parade. This celebration features Elmo, Big Bird and all of their friends, colourful floats, and special surprises along the way.
No visit is complete without a bite to eat! Sesame Street at SeaWorld Orlando serves up fun favourites at Eats on the Street, where food trucks and a specialty drink stand offer guests a delicious variety of healthy choices and sweet treats.
Guests can take home a little bit of the street from Mr. Hooper’s Store, which features plush characters, apparel, collectible pins, and more items available only at Sesame Street at SeaWorld. For even more fun, Elmo’s Interactive Light-Up Bubble Wand unlocks hidden surprises, special effects and exclusive content throughout the street. A visit to Photos with Elmo and Friends provides backstage access to Sesame Street friends with meet and greet opportunities.
SeaWorld has been Sesame Workshop’s exclusive theme park partner in the United States for almost 40 years.
