A Very Furry Christmas to Transform Sesame Place into a

One-of-a-Kind Holiday Winter Wonderland

Get into the holiday spirit this season with everyone’s favorite furry friends

Starting November 23 through December 31 (select dates) Sesame Place  will be transformed into a one-of-a-kind holiday winter wonderland where visitors can enjoy cheerful Christmas music, twinkling lights and spectacular seasonal entertainment.

Last year we visited Sesame Place for A Very Furry Christmas and The Boy had a BLAST! The holidays are so much more fun now that The Boy is starting to understand. And I can't wait to visit this year and continue our Very Furry Christmas tradition!  

This year, the park is enhancing their holiday festivities by adding a second trackless Furry Express train as well as adding new features to the Gingerbread Cookie Factory tour where guests can experience how Twiddlebugs bake their famous chocolate gingerbread cookies. 

  

General admission tickets for A Very Furry Christmas are on sale now for $24.99, which includes a free second day throughout the event. 2014 Season Pass Members can enjoy unlimited admittance to A Very Furry Christmas.  For a complete operating schedule and list of events, please visit sesameplace.com.

Here are 5 Ways to Save Money at Sesame Place:

Visit During the Week. You can save $10 per single-day admission ticket (until 8/30) by visiting Sesame Place Monday thru Friday. 

Get Your 2nd Visit FREE. For the same price as a single-day ticket, get ANY 2nd visit FREE through 10/27/13. Visits do not have to be consecutive days. I really love this option because you can enjoy summer time fun and then return in the fall to celebrate The Count's Halloween Spooktacular.

The Twilight Ticket. Who says you have to get there as soon as the park opens? If you visit after 3pm you can save $15 on a single-day admission ticket.

For further info regarding ways to save or to purchase tickets online click - HERE.  

2014 Season Pass. The season pass really gives a family the bang for their buck. 2014 passes are on sale NOW. In addition to unlimited visits in 2014, you also get the rest of this FREE including A Very Furry Christmas. There are 3 season passes to choose from - pick the one that's best for family. AND now, Sesame Place allows families to pay off Season Passes in 6 easy payments. For more Season Pass info click - HERE .

"BYOP" Bring Your Own Picnic. While Sesame Place offers fantastic food options throughout the park, save a few dollars by bringing your picnic lunch. Outside food isn't allowed in the park but there are picnic areas outside of the park and guests are allowed reentry (don't forget to get stamped before heading out). Take a break and enjoy some quiet time with your family and have lunch. Once back inside, you can treat the kids to an ice cream or cotton candy or a visit to the gift shoppe.

Keeping Cool at #SesamePlace

I am a Sesame Place Blog Ambassador. I was not compensated for this post but was provided with a 2013 Season Pass for myself and complimentary admission for my family. 

It has been seriously hot this week. Like hotter than hot. I don't think I ever remember it being so hot. Ever. So we decided to drive down to Sesame Place to beat the heat and have some splashing water fun.

The Boy's favorite spot: Splash Castle

We arrived at Sesame Place ten minutes before opening (10am) which was perfect for us. We scored three chairs in front of The Count's Splash Castle - The Boy's absolute favorite spot! We didn't waste any time. 

At 10 am  it was already hot and sticky but overcast. The weather report said it was going to rain and I think that it deterred people from arriving early. 

We like getting to the Splash Castle at around opening time since it's easier to manage when there isn't a crowd. 

At 10 am, it was so hot that I even got in...I even stood under the bucket to get splashed! 

Keep cool & your valuables dry

Today was also the first time we used our plastic lanyard wallet and fanny pack. We were able to leave our towels and slippers by our chairs but we could keep our valuables with us.  And they stayed completely dry. 

After sliding and splashing at the Castle, we decided to relax on Big Birds Rambling River.    

Maybe it was because it was early or maybe it was because it was supposed to rain, but surprisingly there wasn't a long line.

The Husband and I love the Rambling River. But The Boy wanted to head back to Splash Castle...

By lunch the park started to fill up and we decided to change and grab something to eat before getting on some dry rides. (It was also a little cloudy and the weather app on my phone kept saying it would rain.) 

The Boy really wanted to ride the Flyin Fish and Grover's World Twirl. And on a really really hot day,  Grover's World Twirl may be the coolest dry ride you can get on. (Elmo's Cloud Chaser a close second.) It's shaded and you get a breeze from all the spinning. We rode it twice. 

And in between dry rides, how does one stay keep cool at Sesame Place? Why at the Cooling Stations, of course! Just press the button and get sprayed with a cool gentle mist of water. 

We also treated The Boy to ice cream. 

Of course no visit to Sesame Place would be complete without stopping by the gift shop. I bought something for The Boy I am really excited about but that's for another post.

Then we were on our way. We left about 2pm but we had a fun filled day. And...it never rained.

There are some really exciting things taking place later this month at Sesame Place. For more details regarding July events see related post:  What's Going On at Sesame Place in July.  

Whether rain or shine, it's always a sunny day at Sesame Place.

We went to the opening Day at Sesame Place a few weeks ago (I was just trying to finish up my thesis and didn't get a chance to post before today.) We had a blast!

I didn't realize (or think to ask) about the water rides, but they were open. I know! We didn't pack bathing suits or towels and The Boy really really wanted to go have "splashing water fun" so we bought a suit and towel there. I especially love the towel, it's something we could use for the rest of the season. And since it was barely 70 degrees, The Boy had the run of The Count's Splash Castle. (Note to self: next year go prepared.) 

Oh yeah...he's running in there! He was in heaven.
