Following a grand opening event, Sesame Place San Diego has opened multi-level play attraction, The Count’s Splash Castle, to the public.
The ceremony included speaking remarks from Jim Lake, Sesame Place Park President and Mayor John McCann, City of Chula Vista, plus an appearance by Count von Count and friendly bats, festive décor, ribbon cannons, Sesame Street friends, and more.
Splash Castle is a multi-level, interactive water-play attraction that features 111 play elements, including three giant tipping buckets that dump over 1,300 gallons of water combined. Built with the whole family in mind from the littlest splashers to big kids and adults, the structure will feature four exciting water slides, plus soakers, flow pipes, hose jets, spray jets, water shooters, water curtains, tipping troughs, spinning, and sliding buckets, and much more.
Count’s Splash Castle replaces the former splash area and is double the size of the previous attraction, making this attraction bigger and splashier than ever before!
In addition to this addition, park guests can enjoy whirling rides, splashy water slides, exciting shows, parades, the interactive Sesame Street Neighborhood, and visits with everyone’s favorite furry friends.
In celebration of this play experience for all ages, Sesame Place now provides kids under three years old with FREE admission to the park every time they visit.
