Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket can be scanned directly from your phone at the entrance. A printed copy is also accepted if you prefer.

Are children under 3 really free?

Yes. Children aged 2 and under are admitted free of charge — no ticket required for them.

Will the water slides and water attractions be open when I visit?

Water attractions operate on a seasonal schedule and are not guaranteed to be open year-round. Check the official Sesame Place San Diego website for the current schedule before your visit.

What time does the park open and how long should I plan to stay?

Opening hours vary by season and day. We recommend checking the official park website for the schedule on your chosen date. Most families allow a full day to take in the rides, shows, and parade.

Can I cancel my ticket if my plans change?

Cancellation terms are shown at checkout before you confirm your booking. Review the policy for your ticket type at the time of purchase.

Is the park suitable for children who are nervous around costumed characters?

Character meet-and-greets are optional — you can enjoy the rides, shows, and parade without participating in close-up character encounters.
