I had season passes to Seasme the last 2 years. (we switched to Dorney this year which is another GREAT park)
I never could understand people making a "big trip" to go to Sesame. For me, it was great, not to far away to run over for the evening or a part day. my 3 and 6 yr old like almost every thing there, the shows were cute and they have alot of special events. My older one was in the parade, it really made her day! We had 30 min with ALL the characters before the parade started and had tons of interaction with them and only 12 families were there. PM me and I'll give you the secret spot to getting in the parade.
We considered it a "playground" rather than an amusement park since there are only a few rides total. It really depends on When you go, week days are better, before 3rd week of June is better than later in the summer and Fall is nice, they do a nice Halloween event. Stay away from Pasport member event days, they are crazy crowded. they have a free friend day that is nuts!
Alot of locals use it as their pool, spending all day in the water areas. I did see the "element" that was mentioned in PP. we just avoided it when we saw it and didn't go a busy times. I always felt safe there, I always try to be "aware" of things around me but could relax enough to enjoy myself. It is a nice park when it is not crowded. I love walking down Sesame Street and listening to all the familiar songs. You can even bang on Oscars trash can to see if he is home.
If you go, do the 2 days and you'll be able to see all the shows, (there are 3-4 depending on the day),
see the parade (usually at 3:00 and sometimes one later if it is open late, sit near the entrance of the park, the parade starts behing the lockers there and you can get on the roller coaster right after or on the oposite side you can go to the water rides with little lines)
and do rides (there are about 6 dry rides) during the parade time the next day.
You'll be able to relax more and let the kids really play. Mine could spend an hour just in the rope climb and on the slides. You can leave and go someplace else for a break and lunch or dinner and then go back. there are TONS of places to eat outside the park, it is next to a mall! Also, I think it is a Sheraton right across the street from the entrance road and they do a package of some sort. there is a Dine with Me experience in the park, breakfast was ok and you are in the park before it opens.
If your kids are into Sesame, Elmo etc... it is very cute and I would take them to see it once. I have some great shots of my girls hugging Elmo, Zowie and Rosita. they have some great memories too.
