Hello I was wondering if someone could send me in a direction to find discount passes and dining for Sesame Place in PA. We will be heading there for 2 days in July.
If you pay the full admission you get a second day free. I don't think that you can get a second day free with any discounts. Otherwise, check E_bay for discount tix.

I didn't even know that this place existed!!! My kids would love this. We'll definitely have to visit it sometime. Thanks OP for bringing it to my attention.

Word of warning. If you go to this place on a hot day, and either Friday-Sunday (maybe Monday). This place will be crowded. It was one of the worst experiences I've had.... Packed to the gills with people.
RE: Dining. Sesame Place is in a very built up area with dozens of food options less than a mile to the park. A major mall (see below) is literally right up the road with a food court, italian ices, and many restaurants from fast food to better dining on the mall parimeter (Bertucci's, Cheeseburger In Paradise, Red Robin, Friday's, Charley Browns). Depending on your park schedule, you could leave and come back with a hand stamp to go grab some real, reasonably priced food.
Typically discounts at Busch Entertainment parks of which Sesame Place is one, are on admissions or gift shops but rarely the hot dog/soda stands.
Bring what you need to survive the park and spend the money on some real food close by.
OXFORD VALLEY MALL 1/2 Mile from Sesame Place Click on the food link to get an idea what's offered, this is an indoor, air conditioned mall so can provide a nice break on a hot day or if thunderstorms hit.
Enjoy your day, don't forget the sunscreen!![

How are the character meals? We are planning on doing atleast a breakfast
The character breakfasts are lots of fun for the kids. The characters are available in the park as well at different times for picture taking and the like, but it's somewhat more personal at the breakfast.
Knowing pre-schoolers still take naps, tire out by 3 PM in the hot sun, etc is why I turned you onto the mall. A nice air conditioned place to go while the little one sleeps in the stroller and a way for Mom and Dad to re-charge their batteries and sit down or browse in a store. The park empties out by 4PM in large part for this reason (and if a weekday, the camp groups are gone by then too), so if they are open later, you can go back and hit the attractions/shows you may have missed earlier if you feel like.
Check about re-entry and parking, usually they stamp your hand and will honor your parking receipt to return if you drive out and come back.
Sesame Place has the sprinkler type watering spots and a water slide for the kids, so a bathing suit/change of clothes is also helpful to let them cool off if it's a hot day. Have fun!!

Thanks we are staying at the Courtyard Marriot $60 on Priceline I am going there on the 30th and the first. My wife and I are always up for the mall. The elmo breakfast is sold out so I guess we are going to book cookie monster and keep checking for Elmo to open up
We were just there a couple of weeks ago with my 1.5 and 3.5 year olds. Good time. Food is expensive. Don't eat in the park if you don't have to. There are plenty of places around Sesame Place to eat at a reasonable price. Sesame Place is built smack dab in the middle of a huge shopping district. I'm from that area (grew up like 10 miles down the road), so I don't know anything bout accomadations since I just stayed with my family. But if you want to know anything about the park or the surrounding area, just ask.

That is the worst place i ever took my kid. They had 100's of kids with dirty dipers on in water about 1 foot deep. I must have seen about 10 -20 adults with life jackets on too. And they looked like they were there to take a bath. Good luck bring some anti bacterial cream.

I lived only 1 miles from the park but never thought of taking my kids there. Always passed by it and for some reason I always got the impression that it was small and the prices were expensive. I've noticed $8 coupons on Pathmark bags though. Also, there is a Sheraton right across the street.
Pizzeria Uno is just around the corner also.

I was wondering if anyone has already used the pepsi code? I want to buy one day tickets but there seems to be two different prices.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the 15% off tickets and the 20% off tickets? I mean besides 5%.
Is one good for weekdays while the other weekends?
Apparently, there are several coupon codes to use: Pepsi, Southwest, Lowes, Gerber (all of their sponsors). The best 2 day ticket was using Southwest - $39.85; Pepsi, Lowes, and Gerber all had 20% off 1 day ticket @ $33.56.

Thanks for the info! Every penny counts!

Is the park appropriate for a 2.5 year old? Just wondering if any of the rides have height minimums. Thanks!
Yes, Sesame Place is fine for 2 1/2 year old. Many rides and water things a kid that age can participate in, not to mention the shows and character meet and greets.
