Newly updated attractions in this chill, seaside oasis include Elmo’s Surf ‘n’ Slide, Abby’s Splash & Spray Garden, Rosita’s Seaside Slides, and Little Bird’s Bay. The recently renovated Big Bird’s Beach Cabanas, which include access to a private splash area, will be available for purchase to make the day extra relaxing.
