  • North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
  • North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
  • North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
  • United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
  • United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
  • United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
  • United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Langhorne is a small Bucks County borough about 40 minutes north of Philadelphia, and its pull is one thing: Sesame Place, the Sesame Street theme park, plus the Oxford Valley Mall and a knot of chain hotels on Route 1. The historic borough itself is a few blocks of diners and a SEPTA station. Most travellers use it as a family-park base or a cheap stop on the Philadelphia–New York corridor, not as a destination in its own right.

Watch out

Safety

A low-crime suburban borough; the real risks are Route 1 traffic, unlit road shoulders near the hotels, and summer heat at the theme park. Lock the car and keep to lit lots after dark.
  • Route 1 and the I-95 interchange are heavy at rush hour and on summer weekends.
  • Sesame Place is seasonal and some rides close in cool or wet weather: check the official calendar before you book.
  • The Route 1 strip has no pavement between some hotels and restaurants: drive, don't walk.
  • Summer afternoons are hot and humid; the theme park has little shade.
