I don't know about anyone else, but spring fever has already set in over here! Who else is excited for warmer weather, longer days, and of course, water slides?! Here at Sesame Place we are gearing up for another great season, but in the meantime, don't forget to check out our off season celebrations! Your favorite furry friends will be happy to see you and I'm sure they will keep you warm while we're waiting for the weather to do the same!

Hey Big Apple! We’ve got a BIG celebration coming your way!

If you are a season pass holder, or just a first time guest, you will notice that Sesame Place is made up of families. We have the families that are here visiting for the day or our employees that are related in the different departments. One of the families I would like to point out to you is the Longnecker family from Canada.

“I feel like a kid again, I haven’t had this much fun in years!” Jolene, 43, Philadelphia.

Do you remember jumping rope on the playground? Or counting to three before you ran underneath the gym class parachute? Do you remember what it was like to walk out of school on the last day and take a deep breath knowing that it was the start of summer vacation? Those are some feelings that I had yesterday when I went down to the Piazza at Schmidts. Why was I down there, you may ask? I was celebrating summer of course!

Last week, I was asked to make a dessert for my nephew’s First Holy Communion party. The wonderful weather we’ve been having put me in a festive mood and I decided to make Colorful Spiral Cookies. They look so bright and colorful. Perfect for a party!

We’re just getting into the swing of our season here at Sesame Place. This year we decided to kick off the year with an event for our leadership team members. We hosted our first annual Sesame Place Leadership Summit!
