Myrtle Beach Family Attractions
Myrtle Beach is one of the top locations for families to visit on the U.S. east coast thanks to the abundance of family-friendly activities available there. Myrtle Beach features museums, theaters, amusement rides, beachfront attractions and more. Likewise, there are more than 100 golf courses along the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand that attract golfers and their families to the area from all over the country.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium

Believe it or not, there are half a dozen Ripley's-related attractions in Myrtle Beach. Included among these attractions are Ripley's Aquarium, Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium, Ripley's Haunted Adventure, Ripley's Moving Theater and Ripley's Super Fun Zone. While most of these attractions are all located within one block of each other, Ripley's Aquarium is a little farther away, but still in Myrtle Beach. The Odditorium is the main Ripley's attraction and it includes one-of-a-kind memorabilia, strange artifacts, clever illusions and other out-of-the-ordinary displays.

Broadway at the Beach IMAX 3D Theatre

The Broadway at the Beach IMAX 3D Theatre is a popular destination for visitors who want to do more than simply see a movie. This theater offers guests an intense experience in a 400-seat theater. The theater's seats are steeply tiered, allowing each person in the theater an unobstructed view of the six-story tall IMAX screen. The screen is so large that if fills the peripheral vision of guests, making them feel as if they are really inside an alternate reality. The shows here include films that make guests feel as if they are soaring in the sky or diving deep into the sea.

Jungle Lagoon Mini Golf

Jungle Lagoon Mini Golf is a unique golf course because it does not include the typical clown face and bullseye-type holes that some mini golf courses feature. This course is decorated with waterfalls, bridges and vines that give golfers an exotic mini-golfing experience. Jungle Lagoon includes two mini-golf courses complete with tropical plants, a lagoon, streams, fountains, caves and statues of jungle animals. Jungle Lagoon is only two blocks from the ocean and includes covered picnic areas.
