Sesame Place San Diego is also a Certified Autism Center, as designated by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards. That means the staff receives extra training to make sure the day is fun for all kids and adults alike.

There is one other Sesame Place theme park in the US. It is located on the East Coast, just outside Philadelphia.
