Parque Plaza Sésamo is the Mexican counter-part to Sesame Place, based on Plaza Sésamo. Located in Monterrey, the theme park had its grand opening on October 12, 1995, and operates year round. Like Sesame Place in the U.S., Parque Plaza Sesamo consists of water attractions, rides and shows, along with walk-around versions of the Muppets from both Sesame Street and Plaza Sesamo.
The park occasionally hosts celebrity events, with soccer stars, mayoral candidates, and other notables making appearances. Character birthdays are celebrated at the park during "Festividad de personajes".
