Halloween 'Spooktacular' Showcased At Sesame Place

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —Halloween lovers rejoice! Sesame Place is Spooktacular.

The amusement park, based on the award-winning show "Sesame Street," has launched its annual fall celebration "The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular."

The entire park has transformed into a Trick-or-Treat Playground hosted by everyone’s favorite furry friends like Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster. And it will remain that way through Sunday, Nov. 5.

Debuting this year are several new fall-themed festivities:

• Tropical Trick-or-Treat Trail —Guests can now trick-or-treat on the beach. This all-new trail winds through Big Bird’s Beach for Halloween fun with a sunny, warm-weather twist. As guests collect tasty treats, they can also check off each Sesame Street-themed jack-o-lantern they find on their Pumpkin Pal Checklists.
• Pumpkin Decorating with Abby Cadabby —Guests can use stickers, markers, and more to decorate a positively perfect pumpkin and take a photo with everyone’s favorite fairy-in-training, Abby Cadabby.
• Spookley’s Pumpkin Patch —The kind and unique Spookley the Square Pumpkin will travel from Holiday Hill Farm to Sesame Place Philadelphia for the second year in a row. Guests can visit Spookley’s Pumpkin Patch, located near the Sesame Street Theater, for exclusive Meet & Greets with Spookley throughout the day and to visit the all-new Spookley’s Hay Maze.
• Halloween Storytime —Guests can gather in Sesame Studio theater to hear a silly, not-too-spooky Halloween story and take a photo with a surprise friend from Sesame Street!

Returning are fan-favorite, not-too-spooky shows for a ghoulishly good time, including the Halloween mystery “Who Said Boo?!,” the Furry Friends Halloween Dance Party, the “Not-Too-Spooky Howl-O-Ween Radio Show,” “Our Street on Halloween,” and the Sesame Street Halloween Parade.

In addition, guests can join their favorite furry friends for the Spooktacular Halloween Dine at Dine with Elmo & Friends. This special, fun-filled Halloween feast offers child-friendly American menu options. Reservations are required for the Spooktacular Halloween Dine.

The park’s annual Halloween Costume Contest will take place on Sunday, Oct. 29, featuring both a Child Costume Contest and a Family Costume Contest. Guests are encouraged to get creative with their most dazzling costumes for a chance to march in a special pre-show before the Sesame Street Halloween Parade.
