unicorn float

Mythical pool toy

A unicorn float is an inflatable pool toy shaped like a unicorn, typically large enough for an adult to lounge on.

These oversized floats became ubiquitous summer accessories in the mid-2010s, often appearing in social media photos: She spent the afternoon drifting around the pool on a unicorn float.

The term also refers to a root beer float made with rainbow sherbet or colorful toppings.
