Largest Sesame Street Store in the World Coming to Sesame Place Philadelphia!

The original Sesame Place in Philadelphia is set to open the largest Sesame Street store in the world. 


The 6,800 square feet store will be filled with park exclusive merchandise, souvenirs, plush, and mementos featuring everyone’s favorite furry friends.

The Sesame Place Store enhances the park's entry with architecture and scenic details inspired by iconic locations in Philadelphia and New York, transporting guests into the world of Sesame Street.

Since the store is located before the park's entrance, guests won't need to purchase a ticket to access it. 

The grand opening is scheduled for October 7th, but the day before Season Pass Members will be among the first to shop at the Sesame Place Store with exclusive hours from 12:00pm – 9:00pm. In addition, Season Pass Members will receive a special discount, in addition to their Season Pass discount, exclusively for the Sesame place Store!

On Saturday, October 7, Sesame Place Philadelphia will bring the fun of a classic Philly block party to the park to celebrate the grand opening. Guests can gather at Oscar’s Wacky Taxi Stage for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:00am, followed by a bubble-filled dance party, games, tasty treats, and exclusive giveaways until 1:00pm. The Sesame Place Store will welcome shoppers directly following the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Beginning October 8 on non-operating days, the Sesame Place Store hours will be 9:00am-5:00pm. On park operating days, the Sesame Place Store will open at 9:00am and will close one hour after the scheduled park closing time.


“The biggest Sesame Street store isn’t in London, Paris, or Dubai; it’s right outside Philadelphia,” Sesame Workshop EVP, Head of Global Enterprises Whit Higgins said in a press release.

Additionally, guests who visit the store between Oct. 6 and Oct. 13 will receive an exclusive discount.

“Sesame Street is one of the most universally beloved and respected brands today,” Park President of Sesame Place Philadelphia Cathy Valeriano said in a statement. “The Sesame Place team has been hard at work creating this amazing new experience, and we can’t wait to celebrate the opening of this iconic store with our guests.”
