What it is and where

Sesame Place Philadelphia is a children's theme park in Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States, themed after children's TV series Sesame Street (Trenton, New Jersey).

Its coordinates are 40.18479, -74.87203; the nearest main airport is Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR, Newark), 82 km as the crow flies. How to get around United States (train, car, bus) is covered in its country guide.
