Kennedy Center Terrace Theater | Best Seats for Sesame Street Live!
Smart Seat Selection Guide for Family-Friendly Viewing
The intimate 500-seat Terrace Theater offers excellent sightlines throughout, but these are our top recommendations for enjoying Sesame Street Live! with children. We've analyzed every section to help you balance budget and experience.
Best Value Tickets (Great Views + Affordable Prices)
- Orch House Right/Left - Row W ($78): Side sections but angled toward stage with only 12 rows total. Perfect for families wanting to save while still getting clear stage views of all the Sesame Street action.
- Orch House Left - Row U ($82): Just 2 rows closer than W for minimal price increase. These seats put kids at ideal height to see puppetry details.
Sweet Spot (Premium Visibility at Mid-Range Prices)
- Orch House Right - Row K ($105): Center-right positioning with no extreme angle. Row K is the first row after the crossover aisle - excellent elevation for children to see over heads.
- Orch House Left - Row M ($105): Mirror of Row K on opposite side. Terrace Theater's steep rake means no blocked views even when further back.
View Comparison Key Notes
- Orch House vs. ORCH: House sections are slightly angled but much closer to stage (better for child engagement), while ORCH center has perfect alignment but starts much further back.
- Row Selection: Rows A-F may be too close for small children to take in full stage. Rows K-W offer the best perspective for puppet shows.
- Price Discrepancy: The $596 ORCH tickets appear to be reseller premium seats - we recommend the $78-$105 options for equal/better child-friendly sightlines.
Our Top Recommendation
For families with young children, we strongly recommend the Orch House Right/Left Row W seats at $78. These offer:
- Close enough for children to see character facial expressions
- Angled toward stage action rather than straight-on (better for short attention spans)
- Easy aisle access for bathroom breaks
- Best dollar-to-experience value in the house
Premium Option Consideration
If budget allows, Orch House Rows K/M at $105 provide marginally better centered views while keeping the intimate house section advantages. The $500+ ORCH center seats don't offer enough viewing improvement to justify 5x the price for a children's show.
Special Terrace Theater Features
- All seats are within 50 feet of stage - no true "bad" seats
- Wheelchair spaces available in every price section
- Gentle stadium seating means no obstructed views
- Character meet-and-greets often occur near house sections
