Make It An Educational Adventure For Kids Day
It is super easy to make an unforgettable day for an educational adventure for kids on our glorious sunny coast in Myrtle Beach! Begin with state parks, both Myrtle Beach State Park and Huntington Beach State Park offer patch programs for children as they learn about nature, animals, how to be a Forest Ranger, and more. The kids can also enjoy fishing from the piers, hiking trails, swimming, bike trails, historical tours, and scavenger hunts!
At the Waccatee Zoo in Myrtle Beach, kids will see over 100 different species of animals on 500 acres of land! Your children will love seeing buffalo, zebra, lions, tigers, and chimpanzees. At Alligator Adventure, located at Barefoot Landing, the kids will see tons of gators as well as gray wolves, rare snakes, kangaroos, and crocodiles.
Kids love dolphins! Myrtle Beach is a fabulous location for eco-tourism with dolphin tours available from many area companies like Express Watersports. Go on a Jet Ski or kayak eco-tour to see dolphins and turtles up close and personal! Your group can also take a boat tour on a catamaran with Rover Tours on the Waccamaw River and the Intracoastal Waterway to see the wildlife of the lowcountry bays.
Myrtle Beach also has a state-of-the-art saltwater aquarium in Ripley's Aquarium, located at Broadway at the Beach. Ride a 330-foot conveyor through the aquarium, through an amazing acrylic clear-windowed tunnel filled with thousands of different types of oceanic life. See giant sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, and moray eels up close! There is even a pool where kids can touch the stingrays and learn all about them.
