Jump to: navigation, search

Elmo's World is the newest themed area of Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA. The area opened to the public on May 6, 2006. The 21,000 square-foot area within the park is themed, and named, after the Elmo's World segment on Sesame Street. Visitors enter Elmo's World through tbe "Elmo Walkway" and enter a crayon-colored world. The area features three Elmo-themed rides and the only "dry area" in the water park.

Robert J. Caruso, executive vice president and general manager of Sesame Place, was quoted in several press releases saying:

Surveys from Sesame Workshop clearly rank Elmo's World as the most popular segment of the show. We have always made it easy for the guests to meet and take pictures with Elmo and enjoy watching Elmo perform on the stage and in the parade. We know from our stage show Elmo's World Live!, guests still can't get enough of Elmo. In fact we are increasing the number of daily performances. Adding Elmo-themed rides in an Elmo's World play land provides more exposure for children to enjoy their favorite character.

Peek-A-Bug

Peek-A-Bug is a ride located in Elmo's World where visitors ride an Elmo-inspired caterpillar-like bug in Elmo's garden.
