Sesame Place Great for older Kids- Review and Giveaway

by superexhausted on June 26, 2012

kids at sesame place Sesame Place Is not just a place for little kids.  This year we attended opening day at Sesame place. I attended with my son(age 11) , my sons close friend (age12) , my daughter (age 7), and UpperCase women’s Daughter (age 5).  We love Sesame Place. Even as my children get older,  it is always a fun day for all.  We normally bring a big kid for my son to enjoy the day with, so he can ride the rides.  Every time  the friend,  is not sure because Sesame evokes a feeling from there early childhood.  But once they arrive and see how amazing Sesame Place is for all ages they relax and have a wonderful time.

Sesame Place Review

This trip, My sons friend never has ridden  a roller coaster,  the Vapor Trail was just the right size for a 1st time coaster.  My daughter choose to ride with him.. here is the before and after shot.   He loved it and could not wait to ride again. kids ready yo ride a roller coaster

Sesame Place has just as many dry rides as they do wet. So anytime of year is a great time to go.  My  kids also love climbing Nets and Climbs is always a fun place for the kids to climb and get lost in a safe way 30ft off the ground.  It is a wonderful workout. kids in a climbing net

Another big hit was the Elmos World – Free fall ride check out the faces. kids on a free fall ride

There are also some amazing shows and performances this year.  We did not attend because the age of my kids are all about the rides but they did spend a few moments posing with the various Sesame Street props.

We arrived at 10 and spent about 6 hours it was a fun action packed day.

My summer tip if you are close by is to go later in the day arrive around 3- 3:30 you save money on a twilight pass and the park is less crowded. We will stay till the park closes and the kids just go around and around on the rides because the lines are shorter.

We have not been to Sesame Place yet can you believe it?!?!? But the ride that currently makes me smile is the Woodstock Rollercoaster at Carowinds because my 5 year old LOVES rides (daughter of a Roller Coaster blogger go figure) and it’s a pretty intense ride, I’m shocked and think it’s funny that she loves it so much, so it definitely makes me smile.

So great! We’re planning on taking my daughter since she is in love with Sesame Street and I love seeing the glowing reviews it keeps getting! We’ve never been but I grew up loving the teacups so I’m sure Grover’s Twirl Whirl would be my favorite!

Recently we went on a ride together – me and my kiddo – and it was the one w/the loud music, the seats that you sit in, circle forward, eventually circle back. omg – it was so hilarious and she kept telling me it’d be OK. :P I smiled a whole lot that night!
