It isn't by chance that Myrtle Beach is amongst the hottest family vacation destinations in America. Ask a young child what he desires to experience on a holiday, and Myrtle Beach has it all. And, some. Adventure. Excitement. Fun. And, naturally fun "from morning to nightfall.
Of course, many of the attractions can be found in other vacation resorts. In fact , Myrtle Beach isn't the sole beach off the coast "though the Grand Strand does offer 60 miles of pristine white sand, and is probably unique throughout the United States. And, yes other destinations have their restaurants with menus "but how many can claim over one thousand dining locations?
But , Myrtle Beach has really spectacular and unique children attractions not to be found anywhere else.
Here are just three of the many special Myrtle Beach holiday attractions that draw kids like spun sugar candy.
MagiQuest "The Interactive role playing game that springs to life.Picture your youngsters stepping into a fantasy land where they embark on quests and journeys using sorcery wands to solve the conundrums of the game. An entire world of enchanted fantasy where using their wand they can have interaction with the most imaginative characters. Nymphs. The Ancient Magician. They can even challenge a goblin, or outsmart a dragon. Unexpected encounters with wizards, princesses, trixters, elves and potion makers. Dragons, unicorns warriors, and the malignant shade clan take a child's imagination into an innovative new world where the experience is 3 D. Certainly MagiQuest is an experience that will be long and fondly remembered.
NASCAR Speedpark "Where Youngsters of Every Age Put Pedal-To-The-Metal. Which kid does not want to get behind the wheel, and put foot to pedal. NASCAR Speedpark is where they can do exactly that. Not in copies of your lame mini-van, but in copies of NASCAR race cars that zoom round the tracks, with engines racing.
There are thrills a-plenty. Kids race side-by-side on the track with its tight hair-pin turns and high-banked walls, in one or two seat NASCAR replicas.
The Slidewayz challenges with its many twists and turns on a highly shined track. Maintaining wheel control while trying to stay out of the way of slipping and sliding fellow racers is the key here.
There are tracks for beginner drivers, tracks for families like the long distance Family 500, and even Indy-style go-karts, where drivers put pedal-to-the-metal on a twisting, turning oval course.
Just be warned though "when you get back home, and put away all that holiday gear, do not be surprised if your kid asks to borrow the auto keys "even if he is only 6 years of age! This syndrome may last a couple of months, probably till the next time you visit Myrtle Beach!
The Myrtle Beach Water Park - Cool Fun and Thrills in the Sun Yes, there are water parks some place else. And, so the idea isn't unique and distinctive. But the rides are, explaining why it's included here.
Think about a gloriously bright day that just screams time to leap into the water. However not just any water where all you are able to do is splash around. But water that starts atop of the world's tallest tubular slides. How tall? Glad that you asked. How about 10 stories tall. The Turbo Twisters are three enclosed dark tubes that speed you down those 10 stories. How fast? Oh, just 50 feet per second. Naturally, all the way down there are screams of excitement, exile ration, and just a small bit of fear.
The RipTide Rockets add a twist to water-rides "just when kids think it's water, water everywhere, they're going airborne for the final splashdown. Sort of like the first space modules that made landed in the ocean.
Then there's Snake Mountain, with its 3 serpentine rides. Each ride is designed for a distinctive audience. The Python is a slower family-focused ride. The Moccasin is for people that need the excitement without the dread. And, the children born for speed, who want it all.
Then there's the Aruba Tooba, with its whisks and swirls and no 2 rides are ever the same. Another ride contains them in an enclosed, dark, foggy tunnel. And a lot more. And, what water park would be completed without its own river, providing a long, relaxed ride where kids can debate important philosophical issues "like how to get pa to increase the holiday for another 2 weeks.
Myrtle Beach is a great vacation location and especially so for the kids. There's endless activities for adults too "hint, it is the Beach Golfing Capital of the Planet. So if you are holidaying with kids, and need them to have their day in the sunshine "Myrtle Beach should be first on your destination list.
