Frommer's Review
The more than 60 physical play stations and water rides at the nation's only theme park based on the award-winning television show Sesame Street are perfect for any family with 3- to 15-year-olds. The park is 30 minutes from Center City and 90 minutes from New York City. My kids and millions of others have happily explored it -- climbing through three stories of sloping, swaying fun on the Nets and Climbs, splashing in the water, and enjoying the daily interactive musical parade starring Big Bird, Elmo, Bert and Ernie, and the rest. Latest features include Elmo's World, with three new rides, and dining with an assortment of characters (reservations required). Bring swimsuits for 13 age-safe water rides including Sky Splash, the five-story water adventure; Rubber Duckie; Slimey's Chutes; and Big Bird's Rambling River. Changing rooms are provided. Older kids will love Vapor Trail, the park's roller coaster. All of the best-loved Sesame Street characters perform in shows at Big Bird Theater and are available for photo opportunities at 1-2-3 Smile with Me. Indoors, you'll find air-conditioned game rooms and shops. Lockers, wheelchairs, and stroller rentals are available.
