Rainy Day Activities
Whether you're trying to escape the heat for the afternoon or you're looking for something to do while waiting out the rain, the Myrtle Beach Area has plenty of indoor activities to keep the entire family busy all day. If you brought the children along, be sure to check out the fun and educational exhibits at the Children's Museum of South Carolina. Learn how to use a wand at Broadway's MagiQuest, or take a spaceship to the moon at Myrtle Beach's upside down museum, WonderWorks. There's an amazing array of sea life to learn about at Ripley's Aquarium, and with gallons and gallons of water, you'll feel like you never left the ocean!
Show off your competitive side at a local arcade or bowling alley, or grab a full tub of popcorn at one of the area's many movie theaters. With so many wonderful indoor attractions in the Myrtle Beach Area, you'll quickly forget there was ever a cloud in the sky.
