Packing for Sesame Place San Diego: The Great Snack Stash Smackdown
So you've scored tickets to Sesame Place San Diego! Get ready for Elmo-sized fun, Abby Cadabby-tastic shows, and enough Cookie Monster-level cookie crumbs to rival a bakery. But here's the thing, fellow park adventurer: Sesame Place has some, shall we say, interesting rules about bringing your own food.
The Food Lowdown: Can You BYOB (Bring Your Own Bites?)
Generally speaking, Sesame Place is a no-outside-food-or-beverage zone. Coolers? Confiscated! Mystery lunchbox filled with questionable childhood snacks? Not a chance!
However, there is a glimmer of hope for the peckish parkgoer. You can bring a sealed, refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. Hydration is key! Dehydration is a grouchy Grover waiting to happen!
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
Special Dietary Needs: A Sesame Street-Approved BYOB Free-For-All
Fear not, parents of picky eaters and those with allergies! Sesame Place recognizes that some folks have special dietary needs. Baby food, formula, and medically necessary snacks are allowed. Just be prepared to show any documentation you might have from a doctor.
The Art of the Sneak-a-Roo (Not Recommended)
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
We all know a friend who's a master of the "snacks in the diaper bag" technique. While we admire their ingenuity, Sesame Place has security checks, and getting caught with a rogue juice box hidden amongst the stuffed animals might lead to a hangry meltdown of epic proportions. Do you really want to be "that guy" holding up the line while Elmo searches your stroller for smuggled goldfish crackers?
The Park's Provisions: A Culinary Oasis (or at least a place to buy overpriced chicken fingers)
 |
Sesame Place offers a variety of food options inside the park, from pizza and chicken fingers to healthier fare like salads and wraps. Just be prepared for theme park prices! Think "Elmo-sized portions at Grover-sized prices."
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
