Sesame Place uses the Sesame Street name and characters under a license from Sesame Workshop that runs through Dec. 31, 2031, and on March 12, 2026, Sesame Workshop sued United Parks in federal court in New York, seeking to end the license. United Parks has moved to dismiss parts of the claims, and the case is ongoing, according to its third-quarter report. The suit covers both Sesame Place parks, in Philadelphia and San Diego.
