Researched with AI (Miles Rowan) · sources linked and dated · How we check
Our verdict: Cheaper than Single-Day Tickets from the 3rd visit; for one or two visits, day tickets cost less.
Best for: San Diego–area families with Sesame Street fans aged about 3 to 7, going three or more times before 2028.
Not for: One or two visits: Single-Day Tickets start at $61.99 a person, so two visits cost less without the pass.
Also note: No blockout dates · Under 2 free
How we got these numbers

|---|---|---|
| Without the deal ≈ $744: Three Single-Day Tickets for each of you, on the cheapest dates; parking extra. | ||
| Single-Day Ticket from $61.99 a person (4 people × 3 visits) | $61.99 × 12 = $744 | Sesame Place San Diego tickets page, checked November 1, 2026 |
| With the deal ≈ $594: Four 2027 Silver Passes: unlimited visits through January 2, 2028, free general parking, no blockout dates. | ||

Rough estimate, not a quote: $61.99 is the lowest date price shown on November 1, 2026 (2027 dates not checked); pricier dates save more. The pass also includes parking, which day visitors pay for (price not shown).
Trip cost: the estimate counts park tickets only; add taxes and fees and your trip to Chula Vista (flights from New York City not priced).
What a family of 4 gets
Example family of 4: 2 adults and 2 kids aged 3 and 5 (everyone aged 3 and up needs a pass).
- Unlimited visits to Sesame Place San Diego for the rest of 2026 and all of 2027 (through January 2, 2028), with no blockout dates.
- Free general parking on every visit, and 2 free guest tickets per season.
- Pay $148.50 a person in full, or 9 monthly payments of $16.50 at 0% APR.
Is it a good deal?
- Buy it if you will go three or more times before 2028; for one or two visits, Single-Day Tickets (from $61.99, date-specific) cost less.
- Only this year: the Seasonal Any-Day Ticket is $49.99 for one visit by December 31, 2026.
- Gold ($184.50) adds 4 guest tickets instead of 2; Platinum ($283.50) adds preferred parking.
The catch

- Taxes and fees are extra, and passes are non-refundable.
- Full-pay passes renew automatically after a year unless you cancel.
