Recommend a misting spray / water spray for Florida please?

Not sure where to put this but as it's part of my 'florida planning' I've posted here!

I'd like to buy a couple of misting fans before we go as we won't have a car at the outset of the holiday (doing a grocery stop at Publix but not sure if they sell them and how much etc).

I've been searching the likes of Home Bargains & B&M but have had no luck - all just normal fans which we already have.

Can anyone recommend where I can find these misting fans here in the UK (preferably a shop rather than online as I'd like to have a look at it). Also, the type - there are various types - some look very big - what's the best to go for?

TIA

Publix do have them around $9:99 but they can be a pain to cart round the parks

Are they the big, sort of rounded bottom ones, Gryff? They do look huge on the likes of ebay.

You can get smaller ones too but not sure how long they'll last!?

Id say about 10/12 inches high they do come with a carry strap and are great we've had ours for years just take the battery out after the holiday and leave in the villa as they take up room in the case

Misting spray are a real pain IMO. We dampen flannels, put them individually in ziplock bags and freeze them, or wrap flannels around bottles of water and freeze them. Then you have a nice cold flannel all day.

Hmm, that's a bit big to carry round and take on the trip as we'll need to bring them back too!

Poundland had small ones in their camping section. Obviously they'd need filling up more, but there's plenty of fountains about
