Myrtle Beach Boardwalk

As the most iconic image of Myrtle Beach, the Myrtle Beach boardwalk should not be left out of a family-friendly vacation. Check out the Ripleys Believe it or Not Odditorium, which holds some of the best “oddifacts,” perfect for a child’s wild imagination.

At the Fun Plaza Arcade, kids can enjoy thrill rides such as the Slingshot, the Skyscraper and The Air Strike.

Don’t forget to go on the Myrtle Beach Skywheel at least once on your trip. It runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. most days.
