Sesame Place Game Center

The Game Centre is an early attraction at Sesame Place, based around educational computer programs created specifically for the "innovative play park". Geared towards kids aged 3 to 10, the building had 20 to 50 "participatory exhibits" and displays. An additional fifty computers contained three to 10 programs, each with a specific educational goal in mind. Sound effects, music, and voices were included.

Children's Television Workshop credits The Centre as Chris Cerf's brainchild; Cerf was then the Special Consultant to CTW. Jorce Hakansson directed CTW staff's development of the programs; consulting was provided by Creative Computing, the Lawrence Hall of Science, The Exploratorium, and Marin Computing Centre. Funding and management came from Busch Gardens, Eric McMillan was the architect and play equipment designer, and Atari provided the gaming hardware.

A series of Sesame Place Game Centres were planned to be built across the United States, prior to the opening of Sesame Place in May 1980.
