By now, San Diego parents are well aware that spring in Chula Vista doesn’t just mean wildflowers and May Gray—it also means Elmo’s back at it again. Elmo’s Springtacular has returned to Sesame Place San Diego, and this year’s celebration isn’t just chalk, scavenger hunts, and storytime.
Elmo’s Springtacular is in full bloom through May 18, and the park has gone all-in on family-friendly chaos. Think nature-themed scavenger hunts, free sidewalk chalk art zones, and storytime sessions that end in selfie opportunities with surprise Sesame Street characters. (Pro tip: if your kid is shy, maybe prep them emotionally in case that “surprise” turns out to be Big Bird.)

Of course, the rides and water attractions are still flowing. Whether your little ones want to brave a toddler-friendly coaster or cool off in The Count’s Splash Castle (a sentence only Sesame Place can get away with), there’s something for every attention span. And as the weather starts leaning toward full-on SoCal summer, the wave pool and water slides will be worth the early sunscreen.
Local tip: The park’s offering a “second day free” deal right now, along with a buy-one-get-one-half-off promo for Season Passes. For families willing to commit to multiple visits (or just need somewhere to wear their kids out on weekends), that’s a decent excuse to load up on snacks and go full tourist.
Sesame Place San Diego is located in Chula Vista at 2052 Entertainment Circle—yes, that’s a real address—and is less than a 30-minute drive from central San Diego (depending on toddler tantrums and I-5 traffic).
