Best month/time of year for Sesame Place?

from what I read on here, it seems like it's mostly a water park which leads me to believe it's better in the warmest months....but will it be TOO hot to be on the lines???

how is it there? crazy? managable? equal to or worse than Great Adventure type waits/lines?

trying to plug in our summer fun calendar. thanks for your help!

Whatever you do, if you go in the summer, make sure it's not on the day they have field trips or you're going to want to blow your head off lol

Re: Best month/time of year for Sesame Place?

We went in July last year. We spent most of our time in the sprinkle/pool area where there isn't a line to get in. We also watched shows.

The line for the lazy river was super long and DS was miserable waiting and also when we went on the actual tube. DS was 17m last yr.

We're thinking of going mid-June leaving NY on wed or thurs. I'm hoping it will be warm enough and since many schools are still in session that it won't be too crowded.

We went last year in July, I believe it was the thursday before July 4th weekend. Definitely recommend going on a wednesday/thursday...it was not too hot and the lines were much less than i have ever seen at Great Adventure.

I have a great idea. Make another baby and they you can get a "cut to the front of the line preggo pass" Chat Icon It was such a perk Chat Icon

I went on a weekday and it wasn't that terrible. I wouldn't go on a weekend.

Someone told me to go early in the season - before everyone has been peeing in the water rides. Chat Icon

We went on a weekend. I can't remember if it was Saturday or Sunday.

You will probably be much better off on a Wed or Thurs. Not sure about class trips from camps on those days though. I can't imaagine it being busier than the weekends.

There was this ernie bathtub water area that DS loved. I wish we went there first instead of last.
