Sesame Place San Diego Ends Year‑Round Schedule, Closes Sept. 21 Ahead of Spring 2026 Return

Park managers cite a plan to concentrate on peak seasons to improve the guest experience.

Overview

  • The SeaWorld-owned park said its final operating day of 2025 will be Sunday, September 21, before moving to a seasonal calendar.
  • A reopening is planned for spring 2026, though the park has not provided an exact date or details on next year’s pass options.
  • Current 2025 season pass holders will receive a complimentary SeaWorld San Diego Fun Card valid through the end of 2025.
  • The shift cancels Sesame Place’s own Halloween and Christmas offerings this year, with Fun Card access covering SeaWorld’s holiday events instead.
  • Opened in March 2022, the park was the first to launch as an IBCCES-certified autism center at the site formerly known as Aquatica San Diego.
