Sesame Place's Magic Queue Pass: Everything You Need to Know

In this guide we'll go over what a Sesame Place Magic Queue is, what it allows you to do, what rides it includes, and where to buy them.

    What is a Magic Queue Pass?

    A Sesame Place Magic Queue pass gives riders access to a separate line, where riders can get to the front of the line much quicker than regular lines (for select rides).

    Once a Magic Queue pass has been purchased, riders will be given a wristband that will signify to park staff, that you have access to the Magic Queue line.

    When Should I Get a Magic Queue Pass?

    Skip Waiting in Lines

    If you're not a fan of waiting in lines, and are looking to ride the most rides possible in the shortest span of time, a Magic Queue pass will be a great fit for you.

    The nice thing about this pass, is that you're able to get back in line immediately after riding as well.

    Traveling With Kids

    One of the most difficult parts of being at a theme park with kids is having to stand in lines. Most kids don't have the patience to stand in lines, and honestly it just isn't very fun to stand around in general.

    You can prevent (or at the least minimize) this situation, with a Magic Queue pass.

    When Should I Not Get a Magic Queue Pass?

    If you don't mind waiting in lines, then it may not be the best investment for you.

    Weekday Visit During the Slow Season

    If you're visiting on a weekday (Monday-Wednesday) during the slow season, there's a good chance that you may not even need this pass due to the lack of crowds (and lines).

    Limited Availability & Price Change

    These passes are available on a first come, first serve basis. During the busier season, Magic Queue can often run out as they are extremely popular.

    It's important to know that prices will vary depending on the day that you choose. It may be more expensive on the weekends, and less expensive on the weekday.
