Sesame Place Philadelphia is giving law enforcement officers, firefighters and EMTs a free one-day ticket through 10/25, and you have to register before then. The park’s own page says the free ticket is for your name only, and that you can buy up to six more tickets at $52.99 each for the people coming with you.
Sesame Place Philadelphia is at 100 Sesame Road in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and its home page calls it a theme park and water park. It also says the park is the first theme park in the world designated as a Certified Autism Center, which matters if anyone in your family does better with a plan for noise and lines. If you’ve got small kids and one free day before the offer ends, this is a good way to spend it.
How To Get The Sesame Place First Responder Discount
- Open the First Responders page on Sesame Place Philadelphia’s site, using the button below.
- Register online in advance and verify your proof of service through ID.me. The page says the park works with ID.me for that check.
- Claim your free one-day ticket. The page says tickets must be redeemed and used by 10/25, and that online registration runs through 10/25, so pick your visit day before then.
- If other people are coming, buy up to six tickets at $52.99 each. The FAQ says every attendee needs a ticket or card, so count heads before you check out.
- On the day, bring your ticket and your valid active First Responder ID or employment verification to the park entrance.
One thing trips people up. During checkout the form asks for a guest name, and the FAQ says that name is yours: the free ticket isn’t a way to bring an extra guest in free. Your family’s tickets are the paid ones.
Who Qualifies
The page says the free ticket is for all active law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians, and that you must provide a valid active work ID to take part. It doesn’t list any other roles, so if your job isn’t one of those three, check with ID.me or the park before you count on the free ticket.
What The Ticket Can And Can’t Do
The FAQ says this promotional ticket usually can’t be exchanged or transferred unless the terms say otherwise, so don’t plan on trading it up to a season pass. It’s a one-day ticket tied to your name, good through 10/25 and no later.
Sesame Place San Diego’s Offer Has Ended
Sesame Place San Diego ran its own offer: one-day free admission for first responders during its First Responders Weekend, for visits from 8/21 through 8/23. The page still carries that text, but those dates have passed, so there’s nothing to claim there right now.
