Sesame Place To Open Flagship Retail Store Sunday

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —Sesame Place is expected to open the nation's largest Sesame Street-themed store on Sunday.

Sesame Place Philadelphia recently announced that a 6,800 square-foot flagship retail location will open with free entry for shoppers and savings for season pass members of the Langhorne amusement park.

Sesame Place will have Season Pass Member & Ambassador previews on Friday, a soft opening on Saturday, and the grand opening ceremony and celebration on Sunday, a Sesame Place spokesperson said.

Located at the park’s entrance, the 6,800 square-foot emporium will be Sesame Place’s new flagship shop and will give guests a glimpse into the colorful, whimsical, and furry Sesame Place experience year-round, with no cost required to enter for guests looking only to shop.

The Sesame Place Store will offer a large selection of merchandise, souvenirs, and mementos featuring everyone’s favorite furry friends. Sesame Place Philadelphia currently offers nostalgic plush characters such as Murray Monster, Snuffy, Honker, Dinger, Guy Smiley, and more.

The Sesame Place Store will be part of the upgraded entry plaza also to be unveiled this fall, amusement park officials said.

The new entry experience will celebrate the roots of both the show and the park through architecture and scenic details inspired by iconic locations in Philadelphia and New York, transporting guests from the roads of Pennsylvania into the world of Sesame Street.

2023 and 2024 Sesame Place Philadelphia Season Pass Members will be among the first to experience the Sesame Place Store and will receive a discount on merchandise based on their Season Pass tier.

Meanwhile, for a limited time, 2024 Season Passes can be purchased for $144 or $12 per month for 12 months.
