Things to Do  

mirror maze

mirror maze, Myrtle Beach

 iam1wthee Says:  this is a serious brain teaser. it is a real challenge and they do not help you come out if you get lost inside and are frustrated. You have to prepare yourself before going in. Definitely do not go when you have an appointment to make.

alligator adventure

alligator adventure, Myrtle Beach

 iam1wthee Says:  This place was a little scary for me. The alligators, tigers and camel seemed quite intimidating. After watching the show I was a little bit more comfortable being around the animals but not so comfortable that I would jump over the fence. 

palace theatre

palace theatre, Myrtle Beach

 iam1wthee Says:  It is a hit or miss. A lot depends on your taste and what show you choose to see to meet your taste. I saw Why Do Fools Fall in Love which was just ok. I felt the two costars outshined the main character. 

Myrtle Beach Boardwalk

Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, Myrtle Beach

 destination360 Says:  I love the beach here, but I think the boardwalk might be my favorite attraciton in Myrlte Beach. It's such a central option for all the great things to do in town, whether you're looking for shopping or restaurants or the Broadway at the Beach (also a must-see). One of the... 

Dragon's Lair Fantasy Golf

Dragon's Lair Fantasy Golf, Myrtle Beach

 Krumlovgirl Says:  We had never taken our son to play mini golf before and my husband had been itching to do it. I had reservations about this because my son has the attention span of a flea and my husband takes his mini golf very seriously. But, we decided to give it a shot. There was little... 

Ripley's Aquarium

Ripley's Aquarium, Myrtle Beach

 Krumlovgirl Says:  We love going to the aquarium and we absolutely adore the one in Gatlinburg. So when we saw that Myrtle Beach had a Ripley’s, too, we thought it would be a great way to spend the afternoon. This year, our son was really old enough to enjoy such a thing, although he’s had fun...

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville: Fun at Broadway, Myrtle Beach

 Krumlovgirl Says:  We love Margaritaville, especially in Vegas where it’s one of the more inexpensive places to eat. The one at Broadway at the Beach was no exception. Good food, reasonably priced, and a fun atmosphere. The first time we ate there we had a full meal. I had some pasta, the... 

Nightlife  

The Sound Hole: The Only Place That really Rocks

The Sound Hole: The Only Place That really Rocks, Myrtle Beach

 Soupernatural Says:  The Sound Hole is the place you go when you love loud, original, live music. From the moment you walk into this converted house, you can feel the atmosphere of a funky rock club pour over you. The stage is adjacent to the bar so the action is always right there. The staff is...

Transportation  

it sucks

it sucks, Myrtle Beach

 iam1wthee Says:  the bus runs every hour in the fall and it is always late especially before noon.it also stops running at 6pm. ridiculous. especially when shows start at either 6pm or 8pm and clubs are open until late in the evening. there is also no bus that goes to the airport. they say...

Lots of different, fun shops at this location: Broadway at the Beach

Lots of different, fun shops at this location: Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle Beach

 Tom_In_Madison Says:  A big shopping/dinning/play area. It's situated very near the airport and not far from the Pelicans baseball stadium. This one is slanted towards tourists, so it has 'those' shops....tshirt, fudge, gift places etc... It also has the Hard Rock Cafe, in the shape of a pyramid...

Local Customs  

friendliness

friendliness, Myrtle Beach

 LizMary Says:  I am surprised how friendly the locals are! I have lived in a tourist trap (DE beach resorts) for almost 20 years, and we have the most ignorant tourists at times. Locals are NOT that welcoming towards out-of-staters. But in South Carolina....locals are SO FRIENDLY!! As a...
