Amusement park ride
Fun & Games
Experience the breathtaking views of downtown Myrtle Beach from a new perspective at the SkyWheel Myrtle Beach. This iconic 187-foot-tall Ferris wheel offers 42 air-conditioned gondolas, providing riders with a bird's-eye view of the Atlantic Ocean, coastline, boardwalk, and downtown area. The nightly illumination adds to the enchanting experience as you take in the beauty of Myrtle Beach from high above during three revolutions that last about 10 minutes.
All of this was seen while we were on the wheel. Very relaxing and will go again next year. We spend several weeks at North Sand's in Myrtle Beach. First pic is a reflection of the wheel. Second picture speaks for itself . Third pic is the street area below. Can't wait to head back. Happy New year 2025

This was my second visit. Great views. Wheel travels nice and slow so that you can take it all in. Staff was very friendly and helpful and patient. They assisted me in getting my 82 year old mother on and off safely with patience and care.

We took the sunrise trip to bring in a special occassion. The view from the top is awesome. Unfortunately, the morning we took the ride it was very cloudy as a storm was on the brink of moving in. The clouds took away from what would have been a memorable sunrise view. Nevertheless, the Skywheel experience itself was good. Too short for the price paid for a sunrise view. So, in our view, we did not get value for money. But that's life. Definitely recommended though maybe not the expensive sunrise one depending on the weather forecast

Soooooo, I love Myrtle Beach. The SkyWheel is worth the spin. You get a beautiful view of the ocean. Although I would like it to go longer then it did for the $20/person. FYI- they do have VIP that includes more rime and a glass floor. Four Stars for the view and reasonable cost.

My wife and I had the pleasure to ride the Sky Wheel while on vacation in Myrtle Beach. Riding the wheel was on My wife's priority list of things to do while in vacation. Mission Accomplished. It was everything we expected it to be. The view was awesome, and the staff was very friendly and entertaining. I also highly recommend that y'all have dinner either before or after your ride at the Landshark Bar and Grill. We had a great meal followed by the Sky Wheel. The views are amazing. Both are wheelchair and barefoot friendly.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach is an 85,000-square-foot marine life attraction located in the Broadway at the Beach entertainment complex. It offers a variety of kid-friendly exhibits, dive tours, live shows, and a gift shop. Visitors can immerse themselves in the depths of the ocean and encounter bizarre glowing jellyfish, sharp-toothed predators, quirky penguins, and mystical green sea turtles.
This is a really, really cool place for the kids or the kid in you. My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Plenty of cool attractions to capture your attention. We made multiple rounds just to take things in more than once because it was so enjoyable. There are play areas for the kids and a snack bar if you choose. Restrooms were clean and easily accessible. We both really liked being able to interact with the rays.

we got everything done that was in this facility within an hour. So for me and my husband and my one toddler to come it was over $100. We were there for less than an hour and, the experience was good, my three-year-old enjoyed it. It was just smaller than we imagined

It was my daughter and I's first time visiting the Ripley's Aquarium. My husband had already been before as a kid, but found that a lot of it had changed (for the better). Each exhibit was informative, interesting, and fun to check out. Our family liked the section that allowed us to stand on a conveyor belt, which took us around the Shark area. I would highly recommend Ripley's Aquarium to others and can see our family visiting again in the future.

Great place to visit. The reef was the best for me, but overall, the kids loved it. The attractions for all the exhibition were very fun and interesting. This was great to add to our visit and my kid can say he went and saw marine life in Myrtle Beach.

Really good aquarium with a wide variety of sea life. The shark display and the interactive ray tank were the highlights for our kids. The enjoyed the tactile experience of petting the rays as they glided past. There are also penguins and a sloth display but when we went the sloths were catching a nap in the tree so we didn’t get to see much of them.

The first time, our family ventured to Ripleys Aquarium. We snagged a coupon online and made an early afternoon out of it. It was a great experience for the kiddos and us parents. The feel experience with the sting rays and jellies were a hit! Beautiful creatures in nice exhibits.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach is absolutely incredible! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. The **Dangerous Reef** tunnel was a standout—we loved walking through and being surrounded by majestic sharks and vibrant fish. It’s mesmerizing to see these creatures up close! The penguins were so adorable and full of personality, and the jellyfish displays were stunning with their glowing, ethereal beauty. We also had a blast interacting with the stingrays—they're so friendly and fun to watch. And who can forget the sloths? Seeing them was such a treat and added a unique touch to the visit. This aquarium truly has something for everyone, with engaging exhibits and a fantastic atmosphere. We can’t recommend it enough for families, couples, or anyone looking for an amazing outing. It’s a must-visit spot in Myrtle Beach! #Ripley’sAquarium #FamilyFun #SharkAdventure #JellyfishMagic

Located in Myrtle Beach, The Carolina Opry Theater offers daily performances featuring a variety of music genres in a large theater with high-tech effects.

We have come to Christmas show for the last two years and it's been a great Family Tradition for the holidays! The kids love it! Us adults love it! The show is always good. The food is good and the staff is always amazing!! And it doesn't change outside of the Holiday season. My family has never had a bad experience here! We love it and hope everyone else loves it as much as we do!

Beautiful theater with talented performers. Really gets you in the Christmas spirit. Special thanks for the complimentary upgrade- there were cancelled tickets and we ended up in the 3rd row! Thanks for this wonderful gift! One small request: Could you ask the comedian to keep the politics out of the Christmas show? It really detracted from the holiday spirit in our opinion.

Rick Springfield was phenomenal. The man is 75 years old and puts on a show like he's 35, absolutely incredible. Thank you Carolina Opry for booking this show, hopefully you can bring him back in the near future. The Carolina Opry staff is very friendly and professional, I'm a local for life and love going to the Opry for shows. Thank you again Carolina Opry for bringing Rick Springfield to Myrtle Beach. 🏖️ I had seats on the very front row. Thank you to Carolina Opry for letting us stand up and party with Rick the whole show. I'm wishing that you could book The O'Jays before they retire. Thank you Carolina Opry!

Great shows. Loved the cloggers. Went to the Carolina opry show and the talent was great. They offer the Time Warp show for $15 if you attended the Opry show. At first I was hesitant but we do love 60,70 and 80’’s music and the price couldn’t be beat. So we went and it was fantastic. The talent, song choices and production was perfect.

Visitors can opt for unlimited ride wristbands or single ride tickets. With onsite parking available, the park provides a festive carnival atmosphere perfect for families and couples.
The wait for rides were not long at all. They've made some upgrade since we went a couple years ago. The ticket buying process is easy, they use kiosks, and affordable. It's a really good deal for all day family fun. There are quite a few kiddie rides. Fun for all ages.

Came here last summer and had a blast! Me and my friends came here and we loved all the attractions! It was a lot better than we expected for a small beach amusement park! The one coaster they have is actually fun! They have a ton of flat rides also! Me and the boys had a blast and we will definitely return. Now this isn’t no 6 flags or cedar point but it’s better than nothing.

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Myrtle Beach amusement park! From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The rides were thrilling—especially the roller coasters—and there were plenty of options for all ages, so everyone in our group had something to enjoy. The park was super clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. Food options were also surprisingly good for an amusement park—lots of variety and everything we tried was fresh and tasty. We stayed until closing and still felt like we could’ve done more. Totally worth every penny. Can’t wait to come back next season!

Well it smelled like weed the whole time walking around with our young kids. Most staff rude but I think it had to do with our appearance but who knows. I would choose another place and after dark the sketchy just got worse. I think our local county fair is way better and way less expensive. 45 a head if y’all wanna ride something legit. I also feel like this place might be the carney Mecca if there is a place…

An absolute great time. If you’re looking for a fun time with the family I highly suggest Family Kingdom Amusement Park. There was Little to no wait getting inside, came in and paint at the machines, maybe 2-3 families ahead of us to activate the wristbands for the rides, after that it was off to the excitement. Not too big of a park so you don’t have to worry about getting lost or losing a kid. The rides were all working. The kids had a blast. Only thing we had to pay for was the slingshot, well worth it… not expensive at all…. If you’re a bit on the hefty side you may not be able to get on a ride or 2, it’s ok though you’re still gonna love it

I think Family Kingdom should open before 4/4:30pm. People would possibly make it their last stop before heading out if they did open earlier. We weren't able to enjoy because of the weather unfortunately but had they been open early. More people could enjoy what they have to offer. We did play some games while in there. I've been before and it's a great place, just didn't get the opportunity to stay long this tim

Great little park to visit. Lots of different rides for any age. Definitely has some extreme rides for thrill seekers. Definitely get the wrist band as the kids are gonna wanna ride multiple times. Warning, the wooden roller coaster gives you speed, air time and the feeling of falling off the track. My boys loved it, me not so much.
Gabriel E — Google review
The place is okay, the roller-coaster is pretty legit for its size. There is no entrance fee so there is some pretty strange/creepy people there. We definitely kept the kids close. The other rides are okay. You will get soaked on the log ride.

Seafood restaurant
Restaurant
Sea Captain's House is a renowned seafood restaurant located in a charming 1930s cottage overlooking the ocean. It has received numerous awards and accolades, including being named the Best Seafood Restaurant by various publications. With over 50 years of tradition, this oceanfront establishment offers some of the freshest seafood in Myrtle Beach, accompanied by stunning views of the Atlantic.
In town for a weekend and this was the menu and location that spoke to us. An easy walk from most of the beach front condos. Even though we were here in the off season a reservation for 6:30 was very much necessary. The old fashioned I got from the bar while we waited for our table was great. Casey was very friendly and an amazing server. The crab cake and fried green tomatoes were very good. As soon as we finished our apps the mains immediately followed. The chef special (a red snapper with fingerling potatoes and asparagus) was just as good as it sounded. TLDR: worth it

We had lunch, and it was a great experience. Our server, Dave, was very friendly and attentive. The Gruper Ruben was very tasty, and I would recommend it. My friend enjoyed the bang bang shrimp and raved about the hush puppies. The crab dip was a little more cream cheese than I prefer, but she also really liked that. If you're an espresso Martini person, ask for no heavy cream. Get a table with a view if you're there for lunch. Enjoy your time at the Sea Captains house, and don't forget to tip your server.

Wasn’t too sure after reading some reviews but we chose to try it anyways. We have been in search of the best blackened mahi mahi and we found it here! It was phenomenal.

The food was excellent. I had the grilled salmon sandwich on wheat with lettuce and tomato. The salmon was entree size, more than I could eat. For my side, I chose fresh fruit, which was also delicious. My friend had fried shrimp. She thought they were the best she had in MB. We both had key lime pie for dessert; it was yummy. The service was fantastic. Our waiter was very pleasant, friendly and and professional. He checked on us several times to make sure we didn't need anything. I believe he said that he was new. I want to say he is definitely a real asset to your staff. We also had several other staff stop by our table to check on us. We eat here every time we visit MB, about twice a year. It is our favorite restaurant in MB. I like the recently updated decor, but I'm glad it still retains much of the old atmosphere. This time, we were seated in the raised blue room, along the front windows. It had to be the best view in the restaurant!

Highly Recommend! We came for our 22nd wedding anniversary dinner and absolutely loved it! Our server was May, and she was so wonderful, attentive and gave great recommendations.

Absolutely loved this restaurant!! Our group loved it so much that we ate both breakfast and dinner here 2-3 times during our weeklong visit! Breakfast buffet with shrimp and grits were DELICIOUS!

It’s so quaint, clean and the decor is perfection! Staff were knowledgeable and friendly!

What a delightful place to eat! We brought my mom to Myrtle for her 81 birthday. Of course her main thing is eating out. We looked for different places with lots of atmosphere and this was among the best! Mom got the Jambalaya- loved it! My husband and I both got the Seabass. It was delicious. Mom got Key Lime Pie- her favorite- delicious. Hubby got Coconut Cream Cake. While it did taste good, we thought it a bit dry. However, we both love moist desserts. If you like dry cake, it was fantastic. Will definitely be back. Sorry- dove into dessert without picture.

I have dined here a few times with my friend had a great time sitting at the bar and meeting new friends. Food presentation is gorgeous and it tastes just as good. Carrot curry soup had a great flavor profile and I am still thinking about it. The pork belly just melts in your mouth. I got to full for the chicken but had to try some and it has a great flavor to it.

We ate here on a recommendation for a nice place with good steak for our daughter’s birthday. It was outstanding - our daughter said it was the best filet she has ever had. I enjoyed the Long Island Strip steak - the charred flavor is unique and so tasty. We also liked our appetizers which were also delicious. We were tempted to return even though we were only in Myrtle Beach for 3 nights, it was that good. Would definitely return.

Food is incredible and consistent as this was my 7th or 8th time dining there over the past 3 years - always a must go to when I am in Myrtle Beach. Food portions are appropriate for the course and beautifully presented. Enjoy sitting at the bar as the locals and Alex (bartender) are great to talk to. Many specialty cocktails offered - never have had a bad one as I like to try different cocktails each visit. They care about their customers as the owners/chef will often visit to make sure everything is okay and that you are happy. Going back again next week before leaving town.

If you don't research the food places in this area, you are bunch to miss this gem. We called all over town trying to find an upscale eatery to celebrate our honeymoon. As soon as the host answered the phone we knew this was the place. Amazing food! I had the Elk (house special) and the Mrs has Lobster escargot. For drinks I had the smokey glass bourbon. Then...the dessert...I mean WOW. 12 layer caramel delishiousness and a house made Nutella dish. 10/10 absolutely recommended for a upscale experience.

I cannot recommend Fire and Smoke enough. From the second you walk in you can tell you are in for a phenomenal meal and dining experience. I had the opportunity to meet the owner, Tyler Rice, who I can only describe as a culinary genius. Every item on their menu that I had was some of the best food I have ever eaten. The bartenders were fantastic and crafted some delicious cocktails to go along with the meal. The waitstaff was responsive, courteous and made the experience even more memorable. Fire and Smoke American Steakhouse is a fantastic choice for a special night out or for anyone seeking a truly exceptional steakhouse experience. With its top-notch food, expertly crafted drinks, and refined atmosphere, it's a welcome addition to the upscale dining scene. I cannot wait for my next trip to Myrtle Beach to visit Tyler and his staff.

A good hole in the wall place. Good food and good service. A little over price, and no desert menu unless you ask. When you ask for a substitutions for something that comes with the streaks you price normal price for substitutions. Also there is a convenience fee added on every bill for credit card but never asked if your a cash paying person. I don't mind paying for food but it was a little more then it was worth, menu need work on adding all food. I would go back unless they lowered there prices a little. $168 for 2 people is a little high. No appetizer even bread unless you pay for it. That's a first for me. It was busy and food came out fast and hot.

The bar has a great drink selection for wine and beer as well. This restaurant connects to a separate bar called 88 keys. 🎹 Which is also an amazing place.

The attentive staff provides excellent service, making both visitors and locals feel well-accommodated.

This place was great! All the food was super good and the portions were huge. Our servers were very nice and friendly. They even had an old guy playing live music on an accordion. The decor is nice, definitely sets the Austrian vibe. The German feast for two is more like for three or four. I could straight drink the cheese sauce for the pretzels!! The chicken cordon blue was amazing! Also great mustard selection for the brauts.

I am so glad we found this little gem! We were trying to figure out where to grab something to eat on our last evening of vacation and decided to walk here from our resort. Our server, Angeli, was very kind and knowledgeable. She was able to answer and question we had about the menu plus took the time to help us choose between a couple dishes we narrowed down but couldn’t decide from. Our beers were brought out quickly as was our appetizer. We weren’t given our appetizer then our main courses back to back, I hate that. We weren’t given our able to enjoy our appetizer at hen side salads then our main course. The food was probably the best german food I’ve personally had! We haven’t even left back to Georgia and I’m already wanting to come back and other meals from this place. I will say I feel terrible coming less than an hour prior to closing. I hate being those diners but the staff didn’t seem to mind and treated us very well. We even got a dessert to go, mainly since we’re both stuffed but my partner has a heck of a sweet tooth so we had to get something. I highly recommend giving this place a try, If you have half the pleasant experience and tasty foods we had, you’re in for a wonderful threat! Even the inside is decorated really cute. I hope to come here again next time we visit Myrtle beach.

I can’t say I have ever been to a German restaurant before, it was a great concept. The whole place has a whole theme about it even down to the waitress outfits to the man play the accordion on stage. I’d say we order way more food than needed. A order of cordon blue, which was chicken with a slice of pastrami I think and cheese on top, and a side of cranberry sauce, also came with spatzle, and fresh vegetables. I’d say u would have to season those items to your liking. I just put black pepper on it. potato pancakes with apple sauce, was tasty. The salad was fresh and crisp, also the sausage sampler was good, with the spicy sweet mustard. The waitress was on point as well, always checking to make sure if we needed anything, I’m sure she said she’s from the Philippines,

The black forest cake is absolutely a false representation of the authentic masterpiece. Fist of so many. No marinated cherries with cherry liquor. The frosting is something from a grocery store. Not fresh whipped cream. The chocolate batter is dense, not light and airy. Yes I am German, and frankly selling it as Black Forest cake is an insult. I don't know what else to describe it as. If you have ever been to Bavaria and tried the real masterpiece you will understand., I'd not, it's just a chocolate cake. American style. Even then I would pass. True facts. Google it. I know from living their. Der Kuchen war ganz schlimm. Real Black Forest cake.

Food was excellent, sat at the bar and the bartender was so attentive not to mention the best espresso martini I ever had. The guys loved the beer sample paddle to try the draft beer. You won't be disappointed!

Great atmosphere. We weren't pressured throughout the meal. Our waitress was fantastic. My wife had the spiced pear martini and loved it. For, app she had the she crab soup. For her main, she had the braised short ribs. I had the starter wedge salad and the blackened salmon with an added crab cake. The roasted brussel sprouts were great and different than we were used too. Overall, a great place for a nice meal out.

Let me first say the ambiance is superb! We got seated right away and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. However, my wife stated her salmon wasn't cooked all the way. The sides were great though. The Crab-Stuffed flounder was ok. It was a birthday dinner and there was no cake for the celebration as they stated.

Bourbon Peach Smash was outstanding perfect balance of Peach and Bourbon. Stuffed Flounder was also extraordinary I could eat that twice a week if I could, I put a crab cake on the side and that too was made perfect. This is one of the few places where every single thing was pretty much flawless. From the food to the waiter to the atmosphere everything was perfect. One of my new favorite restaurants. I also got to try there steak and it was unbelievable tinder and tasted equally as unbelievable. I love this place!!

Wow!! What an incredible dining experience!!! Hook & Barrel you have gone above and beyond to make us this a date to forever remember. From the moment we walked up, Akil quickly took care of us with no reservation and had the best spirit! Then we got seated and had the BEST service from David. His personality was contagious and will be the reason we return! Thank you to all the amazing staff for this experience. The food was delicious but the staff was the cherry on top. 🫶🏻

True hospitality for everyone at HOOK & BARREL!! Starting with the southern porch host, the beautiful walkup bartender, and then server AARON put the seal on a wonderful dining experience! Arrived early and enjoyed a few cocktails (Apple Butter Jeans & House Punch) on the fire pit porch swings. Once seated, the courtesy Pimento Cheese & Crackers was a nice start. Next the delicious SHE CRAB SOUP with blue crab, cream sauce, Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry, excellent. The classic Wedge, iceberg, bacon, cherry tomatoes, scallions, blue cheese, shaved croutons, & buttermilk ranch dressing was cold & refreshing. Aaron split the She Crab Soup to serve 2!!!! Entrees included: CRAB-STUFFED FLOUNDER with guajillo bisque (amazing!), whipped potatoes, roasted tri-colored carrots....and the SEAFOOD PAELLA with mussels, shrimp, fresh catch, & paella rice were both well prepared & wonderfully fulfilling. Couldn't do dessert this trip, but will try CROISSANT'S coffeehouse & bakery before leaving town! Highly recommended!!!! 😋

Bourbon bacon appetizer, fish house punch, mussels, angry oysters, and bananas foster dessert martini were all amazing. The filet I ordered medium was more on the medium rare side but was still acceptable. Errik was an excellent waiter and took great care of everything we needed. He’s a rock star! Highly recommend Hook & Barrel for a great family dinner and we will definitely be back the next time we are in Myrtle Beach.

Enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner after a day of golfing. After taking our drink orders, they started us off with pimento cheese and crackers. Then I had the she crab soup, first time eating. Enjoyed the fine creamy crab soup and dipped, smothered bread pieces. For main course I had the blackened salmon with Brussels sprouts. They spiced the salmon perfectly and it disappeared from my plate. I recommend for a higher level dining experience.

Hook & Barrel in Myrtle Beach delivered a top-notch experience! The Filet Mignon was tender perfection, paired with creamy mash and flavorful Brussels sprouts. The bourbon banana bread pudding with coconut ice cream was divine. Chill vibe, flawless service!
