Celebration at Sesame Place Features Halloween Shows, Mazes, a Hayride and More!

Langhorne, PA—Sesame Place, the nation’s only theme park based entirely on Sesame Street, will celebrate Halloween for five weekends this fall. Between Saturday, September 29th and Sunday, October 28th, Sesame Place will be transformed into a not‐too‐spooky Halloween haven featuring two themed mazes, a Sesame Street character hayride, three Halloween shows and everyone’s favorite Sesame Street friends dressed in their Halloween attire.

New in 2012 is Ernie’s Rubber Duckie Costume Party ‐ a non‐stop, fun‐filled time, where everyone’s invited to dance their day away! Moving lights and fun, upbeat music will make you feel as if you’ve arrived at a Sesame‐styled disco. Back for its 2nd year is the Neighborhood Street Party Halloween Parade. The entire parade takes on a not‐too‐spooky‐feel from candy corn in Cookie Monster’s cookie Jar to Bert and Ernie dressed as a rubber duckie and a pigeon for Halloween. The last parade stop features “spooktacular” music and performances by the Sesame Street characters and is not to be missed.

During The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular, families are encouraged to come dressed in costume as they enjoy Sesame Place. In addition to the park’s Spooktacular‐focused attractions, Sesame Place’s dozen dry rides are also open for guests to enjoy. And if your family is looking for even more Halloween fun, Sesame Place will be hosting special events such as The Count’s Halloween Party, Abby Cadabby’s Fairy Pumpkin Party and our annual Halloween Costume Contest.
