Sesame Street Safari @ BG

[sunnydays28]

This is the only reason we are going to BG. Can anyone tell us about their time there, share pics, give details,etc. Were there very many characters? Did you do a meal and how was it? How long did it take to do that whole area?

We visited last summer and stayed in the Sesame Safari area for 2-3 hours with DS4 and DD2 (probably could have spent longer but dad wanted to do see most of the park - kids also enjoyed Jungala, Rhino Rally, train, Sesame Street 4D movie and the musical show). The Safari area are kiddie rides, DS enjoyed Air Grover rollercoaster, climbing area, small splash area and the musical show with characters was fun. After the show there is meet & greet photo ops (we saw it twice, met Grover and Zoey after one show and Cookie Monster and Abby Cadaby after the other). We did not do the Elmo dining.

The kids preferred BG over SeaWorld and we would have gone back but DS was not feeling well.
