(While the Safari of Fun is always at Busch Gardens, the special Kids Weekend activities are as the name suggests only on the weekends and only in October. He finally got his chance at a hug, and then another, and then another. ![]() He kept taking me to one after the other, and trying to get in to dance with Elmo. Max almost lost his mind with joy! This kid loves to dance any day of the week, and watching him surrounded by all of his favorite characters was just an amazing sight to see. At the end of the parade the characters make their way to a large tent where they have a full on dance party with the little kids for about 15 minutes. Inside that area was an awesome fall festival with lots of games and crafts, a hay bale maze, and other family activities. We followed the characters into a large grassy area that is usually fenced off and not open to the public. Grover, Abby Cadabby, Cookie, Bert, Ernie, Oscar, Big Bird, The Count, Elmo… They walked the loop in the land twice, with Max taking off after them at the tail of the second loop. I’d suggest maybe just packing a cape or mask or something small if your kiddo insists on dressing to help keep them cool.Īfter the 3 rd or 4 th station Max started to get a hang of this trick or treat thing and trying to eat all the candy we would let him have (I’m weak – he had a lot.)

The park is open from 10am through 6pm on the weekends, and the Sesame Street Kids’ Weekend activities run from 11-3:30, with character parades at 11 and 2 each weekend. I discovered that throughout the month of October the Busch Gardens hosts Sesame Street Kids’ Weekends with fall themed activities for the kids. Busch Gardens in Tampa has an entire Sesame Street themed area called Sesame Street Safari of Fun, so I started looking into going there for the day. Momma has George Clooney, daddy has Aaron Rogers, and Max has that furry red monster. This year I wanted to go a little bit more low key and just hang out with family for the day, but we still wanted to do something special for the little man. For Max’s first birthday, we hosted a pretty big Sesame Street themed birthday bash for our friends and their little ones (for my post about Max’s first birthday, I’ve included the link to that HERE.). ![]()
