DH and I are thinking of taking LO to Sesame Place for memorial day. She turned 2 years old last month and she adores sesame street. It will cost us about $200 for the tickets, character dining and parking. Its within driving distance. I wonder if its worth it? Im reading the reviews and it seems mixed. I know LO will really enjoy the live musical shows the most and getting to meet elmo and the characters at the Elmo lunch. Have any of you been? Did you enjoy it?

I didn't even know this existed. DS is Elmo obsessed. Everything is "memo? Memo?"

@matador84: Haha yep same with my daughter. Its in PA here is their website http://sesameplace.com/en/langhorne/ they have water rides, regular dry rides, parades and shows but on a much smaller scale than other theme parks
-
I've never been but I'm definitely curious. LO turns 2 in July and we had talked about taking her later this year.
-
@BelugaBean: Well in that case I will definitely come back and post and update if we do go

I went when I was a kid and when my sister's were younger. There's plenty to do even with kids on the younger side. I'm planning on going this year and my LO will be a couple months shy of two. I'm actually excited to go back. DD isn't that crazy for Sesame Street though.

Haha amazing timing with this post - we just went today!! LO is 23 months and definitely could not participate in most of the rides (not sure about water rides, we didn't do any of those), and the new Cookie's Monster Land doesn't open until June. Even the slides were not really appropriate for 2 year olds, they were too hard to climb up to for my LO to participate, which was a bummer since LO loves slides. It's not really worth the $$ if you're looking for your toddler to be able to go on rides.
The live Elmo the Musicsal was great; LO loved it! It was well done. You just need to get there at least half an hour before the show to get in line to get a seat. The theater is small, so all the seats are good.
The lunch with Elmo was also a HUGE hit with LO. The food is meh, but you're paying for the character meet-and-greet, not the food. Each character comes to each table and spends a few minutes 1x1 with your kid. They were good about reading kids and backing off if a kid was overwhelmed or scared. Elmo doesn't go to each table, but the others do and you can get your picture taken with Elmo at the lunch. He also leads a dance party for the littles at the end of the lunch.
LO got to meet all her favorite Sesame Street friends, so I thought it was worth it. I do think for the rides/play structures they are geared at more 3+ ages than younger. The gift shops are reasonably priced.
Here's a couple snap shots from today:

Oh! We went when I was a kid.
I want to take her next year when she's 3. Maybe we'll make that her gift next year!!

Believe it or not, I remember going as a really young child and loving it! I have said for many years that I want to take my nieces and nephews there, and now our little one. Maybe one day!
-
I have pictures of me there as a two year old loving every minute .... But that was in 1986 so who knows if anything is even the same!
sounds fun though!! The live shows will probably be a blast for your lo -
I never went, but I lived near it when I was a kid. Never heard a bad thing about it. Most of my friends who went loved going there even as they got older.
