BUSCH GARDEN'S SESAME STREET SAFARI OF FUN KID'S WEEKENDS

Sesame Street Safari of Fun Kids' Weekends set for May 5-6, 12-13 and 19-20

April 26, 2018

Furry fun is back again at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay this spring with the return of Sesame Street Safari of Fun Kids’ Weekends during the month of May. The family-friendly events kick off Saturday, May 5 and runs through Sunday, May 20, featuring an all-new Elmo-themed weekend and the new live show, Let’s Play Together.


With these celebrations created especially for kids, Busch Gardens is turning up the fun with themed hands-on activities, up-close animal encounters and a flower maze, in addition to character parades and dance parties. Everyone in the family can explore and create memories together during daily scavenger hunts and participate in an interactive paint-by-number mural.

NEW! Let’s Play Together show features Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby and other fan-favorites from Sesame Street as they explore the value of friendship. Through song and dance, the characters discover that being different is a big part of being friends. Guests can catch the show at 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. each weekend at the Sunny Day Theater throughout the year.



Themed weekends include:

NEW! May 5 & 6: Elmo Weekend

Come dance with Elmo and help his goldfish, Dorothy, find her friends as they make their way through Busch Gardens’ Sesame Street Safari of Fun play area, finding treasures on their way!

May 12 & 13: Rubber Duckie Weekend

Join the search for Ernie’s favorite rubber duckie! Guests will experience all Sesame Street Safari of Fun has to offer while spending quality time with Bert and Ernie!

May 19 & 20: Cookie Monster Weekend

Look for cookies among the flowers with the one and only Cookie Monster and his closest friends! Guests can enjoy milk and cookies, arts and crafts and more during this special family-friendly weekend.



Guests can also make special meal-time memories by booking Lunch with Elmo & Friends, a limited-time character dining experience. In addition to a delicious buffet menu, families will enjoy hugs and photos with their favorite Sesame Street friends. Advanced online reservations are encouraged, as space is limited.

Best of all, local children age 5 and under can return to enjoy each weekend free of charge with Busch Gardens’ Preschool Card. Florida residents must register their children online by May 20 to enjoy complimentary visits for their children through the end of 2018, including the fall Sesame Street Kids’ Weekends.
