For the first time in its 40 years of operation, Sesame Place will be open through the winter.
While the theme park in Middletown Township is open for Halloween and holiday-themed events, Sesame Place announced this week that they will reopen for visitors in January, February, and March for Elmo’s Furry Fun Fest and Sesame Place’s 40th Birthday Drive-Thru.

Visitors for Elmo’s Furry Fun Fest will get to take part in a birthday bash for Elmo, a pajama party hosted by Big Bird, a balloon scavenger hunt, a dance party, a neighborhood birthday party parade, and a family-friendly Mardi Gras celebration.
Sesame Place officials said the theme park will be decorated as a winter wonderful and will take physical distancing and COVID-19 precautions into mind.

“Adding January, February, and March for the first time to our schedule is a very exciting operational change for Sesame Place and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off a new year with new special events for our guests,” said Cathy Valeriano, the president of Sesame Place. “While we continue to operate safely with limited capacity, our guests now have the opportunity to experience even more fun with an event option for everyone in the family.”

After being closed for months due to COVID-19 last year, the theme park that draws guests from around the East Coast reopened in July with limited capacity and stepped up safety measures.
