The most amazing time! My 2 year old loved it. She was able to get on 4 rides and then she got to play in the water park. The lazy river was so relaxing it made her take a good long nap so we had to leave. She woke up screaming, “Elmo! Elmo!” Her way of saying she wanted to go back already lol Sesame Place will definitely be added to our annual vacation from now on just like Disney. Tip get the all day dinning pass. It pays for itself. The bacon burger, chicken tenders and pizza were good!

visited the park on Tuesday, August 19. Lots of life jackets hanging for free for children. There were few people, no queues. We went to all the children's attractions quickly. The park is clean and tidy. Three big slides were closed. All the other three or four adult slides were open. Of the minuses, I did not like the inattention and lack of empathy on the part of the instructor in the children's area to some children, my shy son could not get to the green water slide in the children's area in order to go down it, other children ran in front of him, pushed my son aside and stood in front of him and my son always remained behind the queue, and the instructor standing there did not react in any way, the children slid down the slide, ran again and again pushed my son aside, the instructor did not observe the order of the queue. Then I suggested that my son slide down the pink slide, because there was no one there. Then when I had already climbed the slide, she again did not observe the queue order and then I told her: "No, my son is first!" I had to repeat this phrase to her three times, because my son let everyone pass and should not let anyone pass again, although the instructor decided that he should wait again. But everything should be fair and it was about 2:30 pm

What a neat place. Loved the shops and setup as you're walking into the park/site. Plenty of shops to purchase anything you may have forgotten at home. Towels, cups, hats, glasses, swimwear, souvenirs. Food & drinks. What a wonderful place. There are rides for the kids to enjoy! But we came to beat the heat and there is plenty of water activities. Kiddie area with plenty of low water squirts. Lazy river for those who feel like drifting. And the bigger water play area for everyone even parents. We went on a Wednesday during summer break. The site was busy but not overcrowded. Had a great time and will visit again. The staff was very friendly, and entrance was a smooth process with bag checking in place.

I love the smaller size of this park because it’s not too overwhelming or too crowded. There are a lot of water attractions for toddlers and rides too. Because it’s a smaller park, my daughter was able to meet most of the characters. They were so nice and patient with my daughter. They even welcomed a very long hug from my toddler. I would say this is a huge perk, especially for sensitive or kids on the spectrum. She was able to get brief but meaningful 1:1 attention from the characters who were walking around. Thank you!

Took my baby who is just starting to walk. There is not as much “toys” or random spigots that shoot water out for his age like at Knotts Soak city. At Soak city they have a toddler section and a kid section. I was hoping the same for here but basically no toddler section. We sat by the wave pool and all the chairs are sitting in sand. Sand and kids do not go hand-in-hand. There also isn’t many places to eat so you will have to eat in your chairs… in the sand… I’m only comparing this to soak city because it’s been some time since I’ve gone to other water parks. There was lots of broken or dirty places and pieces here at Sesame place such as the lazy river there was trash inside the river and along the bushes. I feel at the other waterpark. It is often being kept clean by different janitors walking around. I didn’t see employees like that here instead I seen them standing at store entrances assuming we attempting to prevent theft. We ate chicken tenders and fries and they were fine. Overpriced as expected. However, they didn’t have ranch kind of odd in my opinion. The restrooms here were dirty and again, nobody maintaining them throughout the day. The employee at the guard shack could not really identify the difference between a VIP parking and “up close parking” General parking was way too expensive for this type of park Some of the water tipping mechanisms were broken so they didn’t spill out. Very limited umbrellas also in the seating area. In general, I feel like this place was small and dirty and too expensive for what they’re offering. I understand not everybody has a new walking baby like myself however, for me it just was not worth it at all. The most positive thing I can say is I really really truly appreciate the relax policy on bringing food in. We did bring some snacks in for my baby with ease.
