sesame place...season passes worth it?

what's the best package? Trying to figure out how high to go on the package.  I know parking is insane and basic pass does not include parking.  Is regular parking and preffered a big hike from one another? Most likely we will have Bella who is not even 18 months now.   Ahhh...can't decide!! pros/cons anyone??

Re: sesame place...season passes worth it?

  • Even the space furthest away from the entrance is barely a walk. Don't bother with preferred unless someone's in a wheelchair. 

    Get the lowest pass with the parking in one of your kids names and the adults get the basic pass. The youngest won't need a pass anyway.

    This.  It's not a huge parking lot.  Get the lowest passes and put the Big Bird pass on one of the kids.

  • I just got one pass for ME. We will only go 2x's... so everyone will get the regular 2-day ticket... and with my pass (that i got 25% off) I'll get the discount on food, etc... which alone makes up for the price of the pass (i did the math comparing what we spent last year there on meals, etc).  So i didn't bother getting us all passes b/c we don't plan to go more than 2xs.
    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.

  • Everyone is correct!  We got regular season passes for me and my daughter, then got the Big Bird pass for my husband for the parking (I will be due with my 2nd in June and won't go without my husband anyway, and he has days off during the week where he will take our oldest by himself).  The parking is not far anyway, so you only need the one pass for parking (that in itself was worth it because at like $15 a pop for parking, the Big Bird pass makes up for the cost for parking in just like 2 trips).  

    Also, its a decent discount for food, I think it's 30%?  All the passes give you that though.  We took my daughter just after she turned 2, and she did enjoy it.  That being said, we know she will really enjoy it even more this year at 3.  

     

    Regular parking and preferred are really not far away in distance.  Preferred is off to the side and requires a small walk, but the regular is literally just across a small street and if you get there early enough, even closer than the preferred.  LOL

  • I get myself a regular sesame pass & my son a Big Bird pass (with the parking).  I get him that one so he can do the meet & greet before the parade.  To me it is well worth it.  Even if you go twice, it pays for itself.  We've had passes now since Adam was about 18 months and it's the best money I spend all year honestly.  I always go myself and it is very doable with 2 kids.

  • We got the passes last july so that they included the remainder of the 2011 season and all of 2012 - big bird pass for A, and regular for DH and I and so far it has been worth it, especially since we get a year and a half on them. For us, SP is a little over an hour away so it's not so close that we'd go frequently, but close enough that we don't have to plan a whole daytrip. We went 3 times last season and will likely go more this season.

    See, we did just the opposite. We got Toby the pass with the parking, since depending on whomever took him, HE would always be going and therefore would get us the free parking.

    It was worth it for us because we live 5 mins away from there. We didn't use it much last year though, I think we went twice, so we didn't get it for this year. I may go ahead and get a 2-day pass for both him and myself since he has asked to go this spring, but that's it.

    We typically went on Opening weekend, Mother's Day, some of the member days and again in the fall with maybe some other days in between, but it just gets so nuts on the weekends, and once school is out- forget it.

    Plus, once Toby hit 3, we became beach people for the last 2 summers more than Sesame. It just wasn't worth it to us for this upcoming year. Toby is also 5 1/2.. so the thrill wears off, lol.

    We said the same thing - get the pass with the parking in the kid's name. :)
