Sesame Place Langhorne
Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania is the original Sesame Street theme park, a short drive north of Philadelphia and aimed squarely at children under ten. It mixes a dry side of family rides such as Oscar's Wacky Taxi Coaster, Vapor Trail Coaster and Elmo's Cloud Chaser with a water park of slides and splash areas, plus daily character parades and shows.
Because the audience is young and the park is small, queues build fast in the middle of the day and thin out again as families leave in the afternoon. Wait times here rarely reach big-park levels, but the crowd calendar will still show you which summer weekends to avoid, and checking live before you arrive helps you decide whether to start on the rides or the water side.

Valleyfair is Minnesota's biggest theme park, sitting in Shakopee about 25 minutes south of Minneapolis. The ride line-up includes Wild Thing (a 207-foot hyper coaster), Renegade (a GCI wooden coaster), Steel Venom impulse coaster, and High Roller - one of the oldest continuously operating wooden coasters still running. A Soak City water park operates on the same site during summer.
Minnesota's short theme-park season pushes most of Valleyfair's attendance into June, July and August. Weekends and US summer school holidays are the busiest, with Halloween ValleySCARE adding October peaks. Midweek visits are usually very relaxed. Check live wait times for Wild Thing and Renegade, and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter day for shorter queues across the coaster line-up.
