Sesame Place Philadelphia is celebrating its Most Splashtacular Season Ever with a Memorial Day Weekend full of grand opening events, treats, and giveaways! Splashy water fun begins Friday, May 26 with the opening of select water attractions. On Saturday May 27, the park will officially debut the ALL-NEW Bert & Ernie’s Splashy Shores and the NEW tropical-themed land, Big Bird’s Beach, in a grand opening celebration.

Bert & Ernie’s Splashy Shores, nestled within Big Bird’s Rambling River on Sesame Island, is the perfect place for guests to splish, splash, spray, and play – and cool off – all weekend long with new water fun including tipping buckets, spraying jets, and more! Meanwhile, the chill, seaside oasis of Big Bird’s Beach invites guests to play on exciting water slides, a family-friendly wave pool, and a refreshing splash and spray area. Recently renovated Big Bird’s Beach Cabanas will be available for purchase to make the day extra relaxing.

The park will also debut the ALL-NEW Small Talk with Big Bird, an enhanced Meet & Greet experience with Sesame Street’s tallest feathered friend, at Big Bird’s Nest on May 27.

The grand opening events will include music, VIP giveaways, and, of course, everyone’s favorite furry friends. Activities include:
