Sesame Street Coming to SeaWorld Orlando!

SeaWorld Orlando is building a new Sesame Street-themed area!

Coming in 2019, Sesame Street land will replace Shamu’s Happy Harbor play area.

The land will a have a daily parade that features Elmo, Big Bird and an assortment of other characters as well as wet and dry play areas, and recreated locations from the show, such as Mr. Hooper’s store.

The area will be designed to make guests feel like they are walking down Sesame Street as it exists on the show today, rather then the "classic" street at SeaWorld Entertainment's Sesame Place.

"We are excited to transport our guests into the colorful and creative world of Sesame Street through immersive theming, character interactions and interactive play," said SeaWorld Orlando president Jim Dean in a news release.

The expected completion is spring 2019.
