At Sesame Place Philadelphia, we want you to enjoy our park in the simplest, most efficient, and flexible way possible. That’s why we are excited to announce that we transitioned to cashless operations on May 13, 2023.
Just swipe or tap your credit card, debit card, or smart device with Apple Pay or Google Pay everywhere you typically use cash. It’s faster, more secure, and convenient, so you can spend less time in line and more time having fun!
If you don’t have a payment card, we have you covered. Just stop by one of our easy-to-use Cash-to-Card kiosks located throughout the park to transfer your cash (free of charge) onto a Visa prepaid debit card that can be used anywhere Visa is accepted.
