Sesame Place The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular

Giveaway: Family Four Pack of One Day Admission Tickets

By Stacey Jones October 7, 2013
Sesame Place, the nation’s only theme park based entirely on Sesame Street, will celebrate Halloween for five weekends this fall. Between Saturday, September 28th and Sunday, October 27th, Sesame Place will be transformed into a not-too-spooky Halloween haven featuring two themed mazes, a Sesame Street character hayride, three Halloween shows and everyone’s favorite Sesame Street friends dressed in their Halloween attire. The park’s dry rides will be open for guests to enjoy throughout the Halloween Spooktacular event.

One of the highlights of the Halloween celebration is the Neighborhood Street Party Halloween Parade. The entire parade takes on a not-too-spooky-feel from candy corn in Cookie Monster’s cookie jar to Bert and Ernie dressed as a rubber duckie and a pigeon for Halloween. The last parade stop features “spooktacular” music and performances by the Sesame Street characters and is not to be missed.



Guests can also enjoy Ernie’s Rubber Duckie Costume Party - a non-stop, fun-filled time, where everyone’s invited to dance their day away. Moving lights and fun, upbeat music will make you feel as if you’ve arrived at a Sesame-styled disco.

During The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular, families are encouraged to come dressed in costume as they enjoy Sesame Place. For even more Halloween fun, Sesame Place will be hosting special events such as The Count’s Halloween Party, Abby Cadabby’s Fairy Pumpkin Party and the annual Halloween Costume Contest.
