About the Project
The SeaWorld Aquatica SP2 project is a redevelopment of the Aquatica San Diego water park into the Sesame Street-themed park, the first such theme park on the West Coast and only the second in the country. The refreshed park joins Legoland in Carlsbad, California, as one of only two theme parks in the nation that primarily cater to children. The 17-acre, two-phase redevelopment was rebranded and renamed Sesame Place, incorporating many existing water attractions into the new park. These were built to cater to younger children and remain appealing to all ages. Sesame Place is a Certified Autism Center.
The extensive makeover featured seven theme park rides geared toward younger children and 11 water park attractions, with the highlight of the new park being a recreation of the Sesame Street television show set.
