Kids love to cool off in this water play area, made for all ages, on hot Florida days! This splash pad area is split into two spaces to help manage age groups with one area for 3 and under and another area for 4 and up. The water splash area contains bubblers, geysers, jets, dumping buckets, water guns, and more! It's fun to shoot water at people with water guns!
The Sesame Street Mascot for this attraction is Bert & Ernie! Bert is a yellow monster and Ernie is an orange monster. Bert & Ernie are best friends and roommates, sharing a basement apartment at 123 Sesame Street. Rumors have circulated that the duo is gay but the writers deny this and point to the fact that they are in 2 seperate beds, as opposed to 1 big bed. Ernie is a practical-joker and extrovert Ernie, while Bert is serious, studious, and tries to make sense of his friend's actions. Bert's passions include reading Boring Stories, collecting paper clips and bottle caps, consuming oatmeal, and studying pigeons.
Ernie is well known for his fondness for bubble baths with his Rubber Duckie, and for trying to learn to play the saxophone although he wouldn't "put down the duckie." Ernie is known for keeping Bert awake at night, for reasons such as wanting to play the drums, wanting to count something (like sheep), to observe something like a blackout, or even because he is waiting for his upstairs neighbor to drop his shoes.
Many Ernie and Bert sketches involve Ernie wanting to play a game with Bert, who would much rather do something else like read. Ernie keeps annoying Bert with the game until Bert joins in, and usually, by the time Bert starts enjoying the game, Ernie is tired of playing the game and wants to do something else.
