Family Fun for Every Budget
Looking to make the most of your Myrtle Beach getaway? Here are some of our favorite ways to pack in the fun without breaking the bank.
Step Back in Time
Trade screens for old-fashioned fun at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm in Conway. Learn what life was like on a Horry County farm a century ago as costumed guides demonstrate daily tasks like soap-making, canning vegetables, and milking cows. One-hour tours are offered every Saturday—and admission is free.
Reach for the Stars
Just outside the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, the Apollo Moonprints in Cement let kids walk in the footsteps of astronaut Charles Duke—the youngest person ever to set foot on the moon. His original moon boots left their mark here, reminding dreamers of all ages that the sky’s the limit.
Play Without Limits
Head to Savannah’s Playground, an all-access, multi-acre park with thrills for all ages. From zip lines and obstacle courses to interactive, sensory play zones, this inclusive space is a great place to spend the day. Pack a picnic, feed the ducks at the pond, and enjoy a few hours of free family playtime.
Boardwalk Thrills
Make your way to Family Kingdom Amusement Park, a seaside favorite with nearly 40 classic rides. Admission is free, and you can pay per ride or purchase a wristband for unlimited fun.
Spark Their Creativity
Fuel curiosity at the EdVenture Children’s Museum, where kids can role-play as pilots, doctors, or chefs in pint-sized settings. Interactive exhibits like Draw Alive and Maker’s Corner spark creativity while little ones learn through play. Admission is $10 for kids aged two and older and free for toddlers.
Set Sail for Treasure
Embark on Blackbeard’s Pirate Cruise, a swashbuckling adventure where kids become buccaneers in search of hidden treasure. From sword fights to water cannon battles, this interactive voyage is packed with excitement. Tickets are $28 per person, but discounts are often available online.
Sip and Unwind
After a day of exploring, head back to the Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort pool bar for a cool drink while the kids splash nearby. It’s the perfect way to wrap up a day of seaside fun.
From historic farms to pirate ships and everything in between, Myrtle Beach offers endless ways to bond on a budget.
