OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

Sesame Place Philadelphia is an amusement park, and the thing worth understanding before you arrive is how it decides who gets on what. Rather than one blanket rule, the Ride Accessibility Program lines up each guest’s individual abilities against the requirements of a given ride, with the safety requirements of each ride and attraction kept in view. The answer for your child is therefore settled ride by ride instead of at the gate. If walking the whole day is the limiting factor, an electric wheelchair can be rented at the park.

The trade-off is food. A packed lunch is not an option here, so every meal belongs in the budget rather than in a bag, and the one thing you can carry in to drink is water, in a sealed bottle or a refillable one. It is a small rule with a long tail on a full day out with young children, and it is easier to plan around before you arrive than once you are inside.

Why kids will love it

Children come for the characters, and the park builds them into the day: character dining is something you book rather than something you hope to run into. Around that, strollers, nursing and diaper changes are treated as ordinary parts of a visit rather than problems each family solves on its own — which, with a three-year-old, is most of what a good day depends on.
