🌟 Certified Autism Center — First Theme Park in the World

Sesame Place is the first theme park in the world designated as a Certified Autism Center by IBCCES. All staff are trained in autism awareness. The park provides sensory guides for every ride and attraction, low-sensory rooms for quiet breaks, noise-canceling headphones available for loan, and social stories on their website to help children prepare for their visit. Quiet restrooms are available in the Big Bird's Court area and near the back of the water ride section. If your child needs a calm restroom experience away from crowds, ask Guest Services for the current quietest option.

💡 Size advantage: Sesame Place is just 14 acres — roughly one-twentieth the size of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. That compact size is a massive advantage for families with toddlers. No restroom is more than a 3-minute walk from anywhere in the park. For parents in the thick of potty training, this park is designed for you.

Baby Care Center at Sesame Place

The Baby Care Center is your home base for infant and toddler care at Sesame Place. Located near the Sesame Neighborhood area, close to character meet locations — the beating heart of the park. Free to use, climate-controlled, and stocked with everything a parent of a baby or toddler could need. This is a theme park built for families with children under 6. The Baby Care Center reflects that mission — it is not an afterthought but a core feature.

Baby Care Center interior with nursing stations and changing tables at Sesame Place theme park in Langhorne Pennsylvania
🤱

Private Nursing Rooms

Comfortable private rooms with chairs, electrical outlets for breast pumps, and climate control. A peaceful haven away from the Sesame Street character songs, splash pad screams, and the general beautiful chaos of a park full of toddlers.

👶

Changing Tables

Dedicated infant changing stations inside the Baby Care Center. Every restroom in the park also has changing tables in both men's and women's rooms — because at a park for 2-year-olds, every restroom needs them. Full-privacy companion restrooms are also available.

🍼

Feeding Area

High chairs, bottle warmers, microwave for baby food, and clean seating for solid food feeding. Away from park noise and activity. The calm you need when your 18-month-old needs to eat but the park energy has them wound up beyond function.

🛍

Supplies for Purchase

Diapers (multiple sizes), wipes, formula, sunscreen, baby food jars, and basic baby supplies. Theme park prices, but the convenience is priceless when you discover the diaper bag has two diapers left and it is only 11am.

Climate-Controlled

Pennsylvania summers bring 90-degree heat with humidity. The Baby Care Center is fully climate-controlled — a cool-down zone for overheated babies and sun-drained parents. In the heat of July, this building is as important as any ride in the park.

🕓

Open Park Hours

Available from park opening to closing, every operating day. No reservation needed — walk in anytime. Located centrally so you are never more than 2 minutes from it at this compact park.

Sesame Place — Certified Autism Center

Sesame Place became the first theme park in the world to be designated as a Certified Autism Center by IBCCES (International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards). This is not a marketing label — it means every staff member receives specialized training, and the park provides concrete tools for families with children on the autism spectrum. Here is what that means for your visit.

📚

Sensory Guides

Every ride and attraction has a sensory guide rating its noise level, lighting, speed, visual stimulation, and touch elements on a simple scale. Available at Guest Services and online. You can plan your entire day around your child's comfort level before you arrive.

🔇

Low-Sensory Rooms

Dedicated quiet rooms for sensory breaks are available inside the park. Climate-controlled, dim lighting, soft furnishings, and minimal noise. When the park stimulation becomes too much, these rooms offer a genuine reset without leaving the park. Ask Guest Services for current locations.

🎧

Noise-Canceling Headphones

Noise-canceling headphones are available for loan at Guest Services. Free with a refundable deposit. The Neighborhood Street Parade has amplified music, and Count's Splash Castle can be loud with excited kids. Headphones make these experiences manageable for sound-sensitive children.

👤

Trained Staff

Every Sesame Place team member receives IBCCES autism training. Staff understand sensory needs, communication differences, and behavioral responses. They will not rush your child, will not make assumptions, and will accommodate at every point of interaction — rides, dining, character meets, and restrooms.

📖

Social Stories

Downloadable social stories on the Sesame Place website help children prepare for their visit. Visual guides showing what the park looks like, what to expect at rides, character meets, and restrooms. Preparation reduces anxiety and makes the visit more enjoyable for the whole family.

🚽

Quiet Restrooms

The restrooms near Big Bird's Court and the back of the water ride area are consistently the quietest. If your child needs a calm restroom experience, ask Guest Services for the current quietest option. Companion restrooms offer full privacy and minimal noise.

🚽 Ask any cart worker for nearest restroom
Must-Try

Cookie Monster Blue Ice Cream

📍 Abby's Ice Cream & carts~$7-9

Blue cookie-dough ice cream served in a Cookie Monster cup. Every kid in the park wants one. Every parent in the park takes a photo of their kid eating one. It tastes great and photographs even better. The defining food experience of Sesame Place.

Elmo Cupcakes

📍 Cookie's Cookery~$6

Red velvet cupcakes with Elmo's face. Sweet, shareable, and the kind of food that makes a 3-year-old's entire day. Available at the main dining location. Pairs well with post-ride celebration or pre-parade sugar loading.

Churros

📍 Rosita's & carts~$6

Warm cinnamon-sugar churros from Rosita's Mexican Grill and select carts. Shareable, portable, and universally loved by the entire 2-to-adult age range. A quick sugar boost when energy levels crash after too many water rides.

Free ice water: Any food service location at Sesame Place will give you a free cup of ice water. Just ask at the counter. Stay hydrated — kids running between water rides and dry rides lose fluids fast in summer heat.

Allergy info: Sesame Place accommodates common food allergies. Allergen menus are available at all dining locations. Inform the server at character dining about any allergies when you sit down. Gluten-free and dairy-free options are available at Cookie's Cookery.

Outside food: Small snacks, baby food, and water bottles are allowed inside Sesame Place. Coolers and full meals are not permitted inside the park, but you can leave a cooler in your car and return to the parking lot for a mid-day meal to save money. Lockers are available near the entrance.

Sesame Place parking lot entrance with families arriving by car on Sesame Road in Langhorne Bucks County Pennsylvania

Getting to Sesame Place, Langhorne, Pennsylvania

Sesame Place is located at 100 Sesame Road in Langhorne, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Approximately 30 miles northeast of downtown Philadelphia and 85 miles southwest of New York City. The park is in a suburban area with easy highway access off I-95. Most families drive.

🚗

Drive via I-95 from Philadelphia

Take I-95 North to Exit 46 (PA-1 / Oxford Valley). Turn right onto Oxford Valley Road, then follow signs to Sesame Place on Sesame Road. Approximately 40 minutes from Center City Philadelphia depending on traffic. The route is well-signed from the highway exit.

🚗

Drive via NJ Turnpike from New York

Take the New Jersey Turnpike south to Exit 6, then take PA Turnpike (I-276) west to US-1 South, then follow signs to Sesame Place. Approximately 90 minutes from Manhattan depending on traffic. Allow extra time during Friday afternoon and summer weekend traffic.

🚗

Drive via PA Turnpike (from west)

Take the PA Turnpike (I-276) to the Delaware Valley Interchange (Exit 351). Take US-1 South toward Langhorne, then follow signs to Sesame Place. This route works for families coming from Harrisburg, Hersheypark, or the Poconos.

🚃

SEPTA Regional Rail

SEPTA Trenton Line to Langhorne Station, approximately a $10 cab/rideshare from the station to the park. Trains run from Center City Philadelphia (30th Street, Suburban, Jefferson stations). Travel time approximately 45-50 minutes. A car-free option from Philadelphia, though a rideshare from the station is needed.

🚃

NJ Transit from New York

NJ Transit Northeast Corridor to Trenton, then transfer to SEPTA Trenton Line to Langhorne Station, then rideshare to park. Total travel time approximately 2-2.5 hours. Only practical if you do not have a car — driving is significantly faster and more convenient from NYC.

🚲

Uber / Lyft / Rideshare

Rideshare drop-off at the Sesame Place main entrance. ~$40-50 from Center City Philadelphia, ~$8-12 from local hotels. The drop-off/pick-up area is near the parking lot entrance. A good option if you are staying at a nearby hotel without a car.

From Philadelphia Airport (PHL)

Philadelphia International Airport is approximately 40 miles south (45-60 minutes via I-95 North). Rental cars available at the airport. Rideshare to Sesame Place is approximately $55-70. If flying in for a Sesame Place trip, PHL is the closest major airport.

From Newark Airport (EWR)

Newark Liberty International Airport is approximately 75 miles northeast (80-100 minutes via NJ Turnpike). A viable option if your flights are cheaper through Newark. Rental car recommended — you will want a car for the Langhorne area.

General Parking

$25/vehicle • Sesame Road lot

The main parking lot is adjacent to the park entrance. A 3-5 minute walk to the gates. On busy summer weekends, the lot fills by late morning — arrive before 10am. Parking attendants direct traffic efficiently.

Nearest restroom: Main entrance restrooms (3-5 min walk from lot)

Preferred Parking

$35-40/vehicle • Close to entrance

Closer parking spots for an additional fee. Reduces the walk to the gate to 1-2 minutes. Worth considering when you are carrying a stroller, diaper bag, towels, swimsuits, sunscreen, and a child who insists on bringing their stuffed Elmo.

Shaded spots limited — use a windshield sun shade

ADA Accessible Parking

Included in parking fee • Reserved spots

ADA-designated spots closest to the entrance. Display your placard upon arrival. The walkway from accessible spots to the entrance is flat and paved — no hills or stairs.

Accessible route from lot to entrance • Wheelchair available inside

Stroller Rental at the Park

$18 single / $25 double

Available near the main entrance. The park is 14 acres — manageable without a stroller but significantly easier with one, especially when toddlers crash after 2-3 hours of rides and water play. Your own stroller is better, but a rental is solid backup.

Sesame Place Restrooms & Bathrooms by Area

Full breakdown of every restroom location at Sesame Place, organized by themed area.

Sesame Place Restroom Busy Times

When restrooms are busiest and when you will find the shortest lines at Sesame Place. The compact 14-acre size means crowds concentrate more than at larger parks, but it also means you can quickly reach quieter restrooms.

By Time of Day

10am11121pm2345

Peak restroom traffic is 12pm-2pm during lunch rush. The water area restrooms are busiest all day in summer because families are constantly switching between wet and dry clothes. Go before 11:30am or after 3pm for the shortest lines. During the Neighborhood Street Parade, restrooms along the parade route empty out — use restrooms at the back of the park during parade times.

By Day of Week

Monday-Tuesday: Lightest crowds. Best days for families with toddlers who need the calmest environment.
Wednesday-Thursday: Moderate. Day camp and summer program groups visit mid-week during summer.
Friday: Moderate to heavy. Weekend arrivals start coming on Friday afternoon.
Saturday: Busiest day. Families from Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey converge. Arrive at 10am opening for the best experience.
Sunday: Heavy morning, thins out after 2pm as families head home.

Seasonal peaks: Fourth of July week and the last two weeks of July are peak season. June weekdays before schools end are the hidden gem — low crowds, warm weather, all rides open. September weekdays after Labor Day are also excellent. Halloween Spooktacular weekends (Sept-Oct) are busy. A Very Furry Christmas select dates (Nov-Jan) are moderate.

💡 Pro tip: During the Neighborhood Street Parade, every family rushes to the parade route. The restrooms along the parade route get crowded with families positioning for viewing spots. But the restrooms at Big Bird's Court and the water ride area are nearly empty because everyone is watching the parade. Use this window for a calm restroom stop with no lines.

Accessibility & Special Needs at Sesame Place

As the world's first Certified Autism Center theme park, Sesame Place leads the industry in accessibility and special needs accommodation. The compact 14-acre park with flat, paved pathways makes it one of the most wheelchair-friendly theme parks in America. Here is everything families with special needs should know.

Wheelchair Rental & Access

Wheelchair rental is available near the main entrance. The entire 14-acre park has flat, paved pathways with no hills or stairs to navigate. All restrooms are ADA accessible. Companion restrooms at four locations provide full privacy. Many rides accommodate wheelchairs — ask Guest Services for the ride accessibility guide.

🌟

Certified Autism Center

All staff IBCCES trained. Sensory guides for every ride. Low-sensory quiet rooms. Noise-canceling headphones on loan. Social stories available online. Designated quiet areas.

Single-occupancy, gender-neutral companion restrooms at: Main Entrance, Cookie's Monster Land, Elmo's World, and near the Baby Care Center. All ADA accessible with full-size changing tables. Locked from inside for complete privacy.

🐶

Service Animal Relief

Service animal relief areas are designated near the main entrance and in select park areas. Only trained service animals are permitted in the park. Ask Guest Services for current relief area locations. The park's compact size makes relief areas quickly accessible from anywhere.

🔇

Sensory-Friendly Features

Low-sensory rooms for quiet breaks, noise-canceling headphones available at Guest Services, and sensory guides rating every ride and attraction. The quietest areas are Big Bird's Court and the back of the water ride section. Character interactions are tailored for sensory-sensitive children.

👜

Stroller-as-Wheelchair Policy

If your child uses a stroller as a mobility device, Sesame Place accommodates this throughout the park. Present documentation or discuss with Guest Services for ride queue accommodations. The park's family-first design means strollers are welcomed and expected everywhere.

Sesame Place Insider Tips for Parents

Real tips from families who have navigated Sesame Place with toddlers, preschoolers, strollers, diaper bags, swimsuits, sunscreen, towels, and the kind of military-grade logistics only a parent visiting a theme park with a potty-training two-year-old can appreciate.

💡

Potty Before Every Ride Queue

There are NO restrooms inside ride queues at Sesame Place. Even though lines are shorter than Disney, a 15-minute wait with a potty-training toddler is 15 minutes too many without a restroom option. Hit the restroom before joining every queue. Make it a ritual.

🌞

Arrive at Park Opening

The first hour after park opening (10am) has the shortest ride lines, shortest restroom lines, and the best character meet opportunities. By 11:30am, the park fills up significantly. Front-load your must-do rides and character meets in the first 90 minutes.

🌊

Water Rides in the Morning

Hit the water attractions first thing in the morning when the water area is uncrowded. By noon, Count's Splash Castle and the water slides are packed. Morning water play also means you have the afternoon for dry rides without the wet-dry-wet clothing juggle.

🎠

Parade Restroom Window

During the Neighborhood Street Parade, every family rushes to the parade route. The restrooms at Big Bird's Court and the water ride area are nearly empty. Use this window for a calm, line-free restroom stop. The parade runs daily during peak season.

💦

Free Ice Water at Every Counter

Every food service location will give you free ice water. Just ask. Kids running between water rides and dry rides lose fluids fast. Pack refillable water bottles and hit every restaurant you pass. Dehydration plus sugar crash plus heat equals toddler meltdown. Water prevents all three.

👜

Bring Extra Clothes

If your kids hit the water rides, bring two full changes of clothes per child plus extra socks. The changing stalls near Count's Splash Castle have restrooms adjacent. A dry child is a happy child. A child in wet socks is a child who has given up on the world.

🌟

Character Meet Strategy

Characters appear at scheduled times — check the daily schedule at Guest Services first thing. Arrive 10 minutes before the listed time for the shortest wait. Elmo and Cookie Monster have the longest lines. Big Bird, Abby Cadabby, and Grover have shorter waits for the same quality interaction.

🛍

Lockers Save Your Back

Rent a locker near the entrance or the water area. Store dry clothes, wallets, phones, and diaper bags while your family hits the water attractions. Trying to manage a diaper bag, stroller, towels, and wet swimsuits while also supervising a 3-year-old near water is a recipe for lost belongings.

Nap Time Escape Plan

Hotels in Langhorne are 5-15 minutes from the park. If your toddler needs a mid-day nap (and they will), drive back to the hotel for a 90-minute nap, then return for the afternoon. The re-entry stamp lets you back in. A rested toddler is a completely different human than an exhausted one.

🚗

Combine with Hersheypark

Hersheypark is about 90 minutes west on the PA Turnpike. Many families do Sesame Place one day and Hersheypark the next for a Pennsylvania theme park weekend. Check our Hersheypark restroom guide for family facilities.

📷

Photo Spots Near Restrooms

The Sesame Neighborhood street signs are the classic Sesame Place photo backdrop — and restrooms are right there. The Cookie Monster statue near Cookie's Monster Land is another must-photo spot with restrooms adjacent. Plan photo stops with restroom stops for maximum efficiency.

Sunscreen Every 90 Minutes

Between water rides and sun exposure, sunscreen wears off faster than you think. Reapply every 90 minutes. Pack spray sunscreen for speed — applying lotion sunscreen to a 3-year-old who wants to get back in the water is a contact sport. Sunscreen is also available for purchase at the Baby Care Center.

🏳

Tuesday = Best Day to Visit

Quietest crowds, shortest lines, calmest restroom experience. Monday is a close second. AVOID Saturday during summer — peak crowds from Philadelphia and New York converge. The last two weeks of July are the busiest period of the year.

📚

Download the Sensory Guide

Even if your child is not on the autism spectrum, the sensory guide is incredibly useful for parents of toddlers. It rates every ride for noise, speed, visual stimulation, and touch. Use it to avoid rides that might overwhelm your preschooler. Available at Guest Services and online.

🌟

Halloween Spooktacular & Christmas

Halloween Spooktacular (Sept-Oct weekends): trick-or-treating, costume parades, Count's Halloween carnival. A Very Furry Christmas (Nov-Jan select dates): holiday shows, light displays, character photos with Santa. Both events are hugely popular with the toddler-preschool crowd. Book tickets in advance.

Sesame Place Walking Route with Restroom Stops

A suggested family-friendly route through Sesame Place with planned restroom stops. The park is compact at 14 acres, so you can see everything in one day — but pacing matters when every visitor is under 6 and running on cookie-fueled energy.

Morning Route (Opening → Lunch)

1. Main Entrance — Use restrooms immediately (1 min). Pick up park map and character schedule at Guest Services. 2. Water attractions first — Count's Splash Castle and Ernie's Waterworks before crowds arrive. Use water area restrooms and changing stalls. 3. Cookie's Monster Land — Toddler rides while still in high-energy morning mode. Use Cookie's restrooms. 4. Elmo Character Meet — Check schedule, arrive 10 min early. Elmo's World restrooms adjacent.

🚽 4 restroom stops along this route • ~3 hours • Covers water + Cookie's + Elmo

Afternoon Route (Lunch → Close)

1. Lunch at Cookie's Cookery (restrooms adjacent). 2. Baby Care Center break — Nursing, changing, cooling down. 3. Big Bird's Court — Sunny Day Carousel and quiet rides. Restrooms here. 4. Sesame Neighborhood — Remaining character meets. Restrooms along parade route. 5. Neighborhood Street Parade — Stake out viewing spot 15 min early. Use Big Bird's Court restrooms before parade starts. 6. Final gift shop and exit — Entrance restrooms one last time before the car.

🚽 4 restroom stops along this route • ~3-4 hours • Covers characters + parade + exit

Water & Hydration at Sesame Place

Staying hydrated at Sesame Place matters more than you think. Kids alternate between water rides and dry rides, losing fluids in the summer heat. More water means more restroom stops — plan both together.

💧

Free Ice Water

Any food service location will give you free ice water. Cookie's Cookery, Elmo's Eatery, Grover's Grub, Oscar's Snack Shack — all of them. Just ask at the counter. Do not buy $4 bottled water from carts when free cups are available everywhere.

🥤

Water Fountains

Water fountains are located near most restroom clusters throughout the park. Bring refillable insulated water bottles — the water stays cold longer in summer heat. One bottle per family member minimum.

🌡

Cool-Down Spots

Best cool-down options: Cookie's Cookery (indoor AC), the Baby Care Center (climate-controlled), and any shaded dining pavilion. The water rides themselves are cooling but do not count as hydration. Combine a restroom stop with a cool-down break every 90 minutes on hot days.

A lifelong traveler, trekker, and self-described tumbleweed who has explored every corner of Australia and beyond, Ben built DunnyDash because he got tired of the three-search, one-desperate-purchase routine. After 17+ years on the road running service-based businesses, he turned that hard-won knowledge of every rest stop, stadium bathroom, and roadside block into a proper restroom finder — pulling from government open data, community contributions, and the kind of on-the-ground verification that comes from actually using the facilities. He writes about public infrastructure, accessibility, travel logistics, and the unglamorous-but-essential question of where to go when you need to go.
