Things to do in Myrtle Beach

Brookgreen Gardens, which is south of Murrells Inlet, has a zoo and I believe boat rides on the river. Been to the gardens but did do the boat ride. Huntington Beach State Park is across the highway and those two places have an historical connection.

Murrells Inlet has a chain of restaurants with a board walk along the water and usually one or two of those will have live music. There are 8 or so restaurants there.

Farther north, on the way to North MB, is an alligator farm. There are many putt-put golf places. There is a Ferris wheel and touristy stuff like Ripley’s. Kids usually like that sort of thing.

Vereen Gardens in Little River (20 minutes north of Myrtle Beach) is a great outdoor spot. It's also free. I'd also do a Conway trip if I could. It's about 20 minutes west of Myrtle Beach. There's a historic downtown area with loads of historic homes, a riverwalk, a marina, several neat little shops and some good restaurants.

For some reason, MB is my favorite place to go - probably more for the nostalgia of going with my parents when I was younger.

I like going to Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing. Lots of good food, shops, shows, etc.

Not sure if you're in MB or NMB, but we always hit Pier 14 once when we go. It's on the beach and has live music most nights. Nothing fancy, just cool to relax with the salt water breeze.

MB is a good place for kids of your age. Anywhere you go, you can find something interesting for them to do. I would highly recommend having an idea of what you want to do for dinner so you can get reservations early.
