Where are you staying? Does your hotel/resort have indoor pools?

Here are some fun places to explore as well as dining suggestions:

Barefoot Landing

http://barefootlanding.com/

Located on the Intercoastal Waterway Barefoot Landing offers many dining and entertainment options. Surrounded by a 27 acre lake and boardwalk paths it’s a great place to roam and enjoy the scenery.

(mid-April through mid-October)?Watch in awe as 15ft alligators leap out of the water and slam their powerful jaws down on their dinner. How high can they go? What do they eat? You’ll learn plenty of facts about alligators at Alligator Adventure

Broadway at the Beach

www.broadwayatthebeach.com

Amazing place with shopping, entertainment, dining, etc.

This is where Ripley’s Aquarium is as well.

You will find Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood here.

SUGGESTION-just get dessert at Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood-very expensive

and the food quality is not great.

Palace Theatre

Le GRAND CIRQUE is the most amazing live show ever to appear on the Grand Strand, and is now playing at the famous Palace Theater, located at Broadway at the Beach, right in the heart of Myrtle Beach. Great Show for all ages

BUT-The Magical Spirit of Ireland is awful!

I am staying at dunes village

Dunes Village in itself should keep the kids entertained.Indoor water park on site.

They have a Basketball Court, Foosball tables, and

Pool Table, Ping Pong tables too.

Take the kids to Medieval Times for some great indoor fun.

Set in an 11th century style castle, this unique dinner/show is well worth the money and the food is great!
