Sesame Place is the perfect nearby family getaway this summer — just 90 minutes south of New York City. Sesame Place is the park where parents and children experience Sesame Street together through whirling rides, water slides, colorful shows and furry friends. This summer, there is more for the whole family to enjoy, with the all new Count’s Splash Castle, a multi-level water-play attraction, featuring a one-thousand gallon tipping bucket, water slides, bridges, hydro blasters, water wheels and much more!
