The New York Times, in 1981, wrote that Hurwitz “entertained more than a million young people” at free performances in New York City’s schools, parks, recreation centers and playgrounds.
Bring the family, your sense of history, and join this elite group of participants as Magic in the Park dazzles you for 70 minutes with the likes of Abe’s grand-daughter, Emmy Award winner Mallory Lewis with Lamb Chop, The Magicomedian and “Dean of American Magicians” George Schindler, Funny Guy Robert Baxt, Ventriloquism extraordinaire Carla Rhodes, rising stars from the Society of Young Magicians and our amusing Emcee, “Cajun Cellist” Sean Grissom.

Guthrie and Seeger would be proud.” Cookie Magazine

Sesame Place what great memories – Family 4 Pack of tickets giveaway

Sesame Place what great memories – Family 4 Pack of tickets giveaway

I have very fond memories of going to Sesame Place as a kid – its right there with Disney world but we went to Sesame Place more times growing up.  There were a couple of reasons my sister and I loved it as kids.  My mom and dad’s very good college friends lived en-route to the park and their kids were the same age so we had insta-buddies to play with while at Sesame Place.

To the right is a photo from the 80’s I want to say I’m 4 or 5 in this picture… but I’ll have to double check with the folks on that one.  We’re totally planning on taking Marc this summer because he’s fallen in love for Elmo (Marc calls him Mo – its very cute). Making a photo like this of Marc will be priceless.

There are some really great things about the park that is not only a park that has rides and parades but one that also has a water park section.  Sesame Place also features concerts this summer they will have Choo-Choo Soul, The Fresh Beats Band, Dan Zane and many others.

You could easily make this a day trip since its about an hour and half each way from the city. Then again you could make a weekend out of it and go to another near by attraction.
