For a preschooler, few things beat Elmo appearing live, and the St. George Theatre makes it grander: a restored 1929 movie palace with a painted ceiling and gilded balconies. The show keeps things short, musical and full of movement so little kids can dance along. If you have a Sesame Street fan at home, this is an easy, memorable Friday outing.
What to expect
Families fill the ornate theater for a sing-along stage show with costumed Sesame Street characters, songs and dance breaks. A separate photo-experience ticket is sold for families who want a meet-and-photo moment.
Good to know
- The theater is a short uphill walk from the St. George Ferry Terminal.
- Check your ticket type before you go, since photo add-ons are sold separately.
- Arrive early to get settled before showtime with small children.
- Buy the show ticket itself; the photo experience is a separate listing.
