The first Sesame Street theme park on the West Coast is set to open next month, offering a boost to San Diego's tourism market as it bounces back from the pandemic's hit to the industry and restrictions are eased, officials announced Wednesday.
Featuring Big Bird’s Beach, Oscar’s Rotten Rafts, and Cookie-Monster towers, the year-round, 17-acre (6.5-hectare) Sesame Place San Diego theme park will open on March 26 to season pass holders in Chula Vista, just south of the city of San Diego. The first Sesame Place theme park opened more than 40 years ago outside Philadelphia.
