Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA

In April 2018, this Sesame Street theme park was designated a Certified Autism Center (CAC—it's claimed to be the first theme park in the world to receive this distinction). The park's officials worked in conjunction with the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards to implement staff-wide autism sensitivity and awareness training. As for families, Sesame Place includes a sensory guide on its park website to help parents plan activities in advance. While there, perhaps meet Julia, a Sesame Street Muppet with autism, who made her debut at Sesame Place in 2017 as a walk-around character.
