Take a trip down Sesame Street on a Gulf Coast holiday

Those planning Gulf Coast villa holidays in Florida this year will be some of the first to visit the new Sesame Street themed area at Busch Gardens.

The Times travel journalist Dominic Wells named the theme park as one of the best outside of the UK for family fun this spring.

He said the Sesame Street Safari of Fun, which has just been opened, provides plenty of thrills and spills for little ones.

With a water play area, a ferris wheel and a mini coaster, there is plenty to keep kids entertained.

But he said that the biggest thrill of all is the costumed characters which wander through the park causing children's faces to light up.

Some of the other attractions in the themed area include the Count Zambezi Rally, which takes riders on a car journey through the desert, and Elmo's Treehouse Trek, where kids can play hide and seek and get a fantastic bird's eye view of the theme park.

Busch Gardens is located in Tampa Bay, so those renting Gulf Coast villas in Bradenton will be within easy reach of the theme park.
