Sesame Street Land at SeaWorld Orlando

Sesame Street Land at SeaWorld Orlando is one of the newest additions to the park. Officially opened in 2019 in the area formerly known as Shamu’s Happy Harbour, this exciting new land brings the popular children’s television show to life.

There are interactive play attractions throughout the land as well as a number of meet-and-greet photo opportunities.  You will find some of your favorite Sesame Street characters here like Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, Grover, Big Bird and Cookie Monster.  And some of these characters have their own personally themed rides.

You should be aware that this area of the park is not available at park opening.  Typically the hours for the “Seas” in and around Sesame Street Land opens at 10:00 AM on most days.  So if you are coming to SeaWorld Orlando just for Sesame Street Land, plan your day accordingly.  

Sesame Street Land Rides and Attractions

Super Grover’s Box Car Derby

Super Grover’s Box Car Derby is the marquee ride at Sesame Street Land.  This family friendly roller coaster is the perfect start for those that have never ridden a coaster before.  There are climbs and a few mini-drops but the Box Car Derby is a very fun and easy coaster.  There is a 38-inch height requirement for this ride and guests between 38 and 41-inches must ride with a supervising companion.

Big Bird’s Twirl ‘N’ Whirl

Your kids have their own birds nest which they can spin and twirl (like a tea cups type of ride) as fast as the want.  There is a 36-inch height requirement to ride alone or guest must ride with a supervising companion at least 14 years of age.

Sesame Street Land Shopping and Dining

Eats on the Street

Instead of a large physical building to house a Sesame Street restaurant, SeaWorld developed smaller venues including food trucks to go along with a specialty drink stand for this area.  These quick service dining venues include:

• ABC Easts
