Sesame Place opens its first West Coast theme park in San Diego this weekend.
Sesame Place San Diego, the brand’s first West Coast park, will transport guests to Cookie Monster and Elmo’s neighborhood when it opens Saturday in Chula Vista.
Jackie Edwards, a park visitor from Escondido and member of the American Coaster Enthusiasts got a preview of the park a day before it opens to the public. She has been to the original Sesame Place in Pennsylvania, which opened in 1980, and said she was “absolutely blown away” by the San Diego park.“It’s really welcoming and it’s not intimidating,” she said. “You can tell that they’ve really designed this to be a family-friendly venue.
The original Sesame Place was the first theme park in the world to achieve the designation, according to the company’s annual report. Marc Swanson, CEO of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment said that they leaned into the immersive aspect of bringing the television show setting to life through an interactive neighborhood at the front of the park.
