Sesame Place Opens Saturday For 'Halloween Spooktacular'

LANGHORNE, PA — Sesame Place is opening its doors for Halloween, while celebrating a classic character. On weekends starting this Saturday, Sept. 22, the park in Langhorne is hosting The Count's Halloween Spooktacular — when the park will be transformed into a family-friendly Halloween wonderland.

The park also will be open from 4-8 p.m. on Fridays in October. Visitors are encouraged to come in costumes and enjoy the park's three holiday-themed shows, ride Halloween-themed rides and see all the Sesame characters dressed up in costumes.

During the fall run, the Neighborhood Street Party Parade, with its 10 floats, will have a Halloween theme as well.

"Light Up The Night" is a nightly Halloween light show featuring dancing pumpkins, silly skeletons and more not-so-scary images dancing across the sky. The three Halloween shows are "Elmo the Musical Halloween — Live at Sesame Place," "Who Said Boo?" and "The Not-Too-Spooky Howl-o-Ween Radio Show."

Sesame Place's annual Halloween costume contest will be held on Oct. 28, with prizes awarded for first, second and third place in both children's and family categories.

While visiting during the Halloween openings, guests also will be able to save 30 percent on buying 2019 season passes, Sesame Place said in a news release. All tiers of the 2019 passes will let guests visit for the rest of 2018 as well, including the Halloween Spooktacular and A Very Furry Christmas!.
