Water attractions are closed for the 2024 season. Select water attractions are open May 24 through September 7. Check park operating calendar for hours of operation.

Safety is our highest priority, and we meet or exceed all safety guidelines set forth by state agencies, industry organizations, as well as our ride and slide manufacturers. Each ride has a posted safety warning sign at the entrance, which may be different for each attraction. Guests should review these safety requirements, based on manufacturer guidelines and our park safety protocols.

Shoes must be worn on all mechanical rides. Loose articles are not permitted on mechanical rides and must remain with a non-rider or in a locker. Attendants are not responsible for loose articles.

Swim diapers are required for all water attractions and are available for purchase at the park. Proper swim attire must be worn on all water attractions.

Line cutting is not permitted. Guests that exit a line must re-enter at the end of the line.

Many of our attractions may be enjoyed together as a family. Certain attractions do not allow hand held infants and children must be accompanied by a supervising companion. All height and safety requirements are posted on each individual  ride page.

For all mechanical rides as well as some water rides, guests not meeting the established height and/or age requirements must be accompanied by a supervising companion at least 14 years of age.

A hand-held infant is a child who is unable to walk to the ride unit independently or maintain independent seated postural control.

For all rides and attractions, all riders must maintain independent postural control. In addition, for water attractions guests must also fit properly into a US Coast Guard Type II or III life vest.

Guests are permitted to enjoy the following attractions: The Sunny Day Carousel, Mini-Monster Clubhouse, and Ernie Waterworks. Guests may also enjoy all of our daily live shows.

Loose articles, such as hats, glasses, cameras, and bags are not permitted on any of our attractions and should be left with a non-rider or in a locker.

Life jackets are provided at each water attraction which one is required to be worn.

Guests are also welcome to bring their own life jacket as long as it is an approved US Coast Guard Type II or III life vest. To check to see if your life jacket is approved please visit The Welcome Center or ask any member of the aquatics team.

Sesame Place Philadelphia offers a Child Swap program on select Dry Attractions. This program is helpful when one adult wants to ride with more than one child, but the ride does not allow the entire party to ride at the same time. Once at the front of the line, the adult can ride with one child while the other waits with a non-rider. Once the ride is complete, the children switch spots and the adult can ride with the other child without having to wait in line again. Please note that Sesame Place Philadelphia Ambassadors may not supervise children or ride with a child as part of the child swap program. A child swap must be done by a member of the party to allow the children to ride. Child Swap is not available on our Water Attractions.
