Get Silly and Spooky for Halloween at Sesame Place

By James Boyle The family friendly theme park has a full slate of furry fun ready for the next two months.

Get ready to have some silly, not-too-spooky fun during The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular at Sesame Place. Between Saturday, Sept. 20 and Sunday, Oct. 26, Sesame Place in Langhorne will be transformed into a not-too-spooky Halloween haven. In addition to the park’s Spooktacular-focused attractions, Sesame Place’s exciting rides are also open for guests to enjoy including the new Cookie’s Monster Land, featuring five rides, a three-story net climb and a soft toddler play area.

Two new Halloween shows make their debut this season. In Elmo the Musical – Live at Sesame Place Halloween Show at the Sesame Studio, Magician Elmo makes a magical mistake that may ruin The Great David Cluckerfield’s annual show. In Who Said Boo? at Monster Rock Theater, an eerie “boo” has everyone wondering who and where it came from.

Join in the fun to help Abby Cadabby find her missing magic wand or navigate through The Count’s Unhaunted Castle as you experience two interactive themed mazes. Enjoy story-time character hayride with everyone’s favorite Sesame Street friends dressed in their Halloween attire.
