The 2020 season will mark the 40th Birthday of Sesame Place Philadelphia, and the theme park for kids is serving up several additions to mark the occasion.  A new ride, a new kids play area and a restaurant are just part of the fun that will take place all season long.

The birthday theme will be evident all over the park, which will be decorated with "bright balloons and garland, an enormous, inflatable birthday cake, new birthday photo ops and oversized candles."  The park's popular parade will be named the Neighborhood Birthday Party Parade this season and will feature a new song and floats decorated with giant cupcakes and more.

The park will also build a new ride to celebrate their 40th, named Big Bird's Tour Bus.  The over-sized, red double-decker bus will feature Big Bird and his friends set in front of a cityscape backdrop.  The bus will zoom around and up into the air in a giant circle, giving gentle thrills that the whole family will enjoy.

Also new in 2020 will be Slimey's Square, a "brightly-colored, shaded, soft play area" located adjacent to Oscar's Wacky Taxi Coaster.  Intended for kids aged 5 and under, Slimey's Square will feature areas for kids to climb, crawl and have fun while their parents are nearby on a built in seated wall.  The addition will gives smaller kids a fun place to hang out while their older siblings take on the thrill of the coaster next door.

Finally, Sesame Place Philadelphia will also open ABC Eats, a new restaurant concept.  Featuring a variety of dishes for the family, there will also be plenty of healthy wraps, fresh salads and more to enjoy.
