Myrtle Beach
 

Anybody have an opinion on Myrtle Beach with two kids under 2? Is there enough/anything for them to do? I would appreciate any feedback.<BR>Thanks,

There is a Ripley's (of the Believe it or Not fame) Aquarium there which the little kids should love, they have a touch tank and lots of tanks where kids should be fascinated by the fish. Are they big enough to do putt-putt golf? At least hold the clubs and understand they are supposed to whack the ball, I mean. Of course the beach - but have they seen an ocean yet? My kids were terrified of the beach and big waves until they were 3 or 4. From little kid perspective those big waves can be very frightening. There are many family-oriented attractions, and your kids may be able to get in free some places.

Jeff,<BR><BR>Keep reading--it will become very obvious that I am not a parent (but I do live in North Myrtle Beach, so I might be of help to you). <BR><BR>What does a child under two like to do? Myrtle Beach is certainly considered a family-friendly destination, but are you looking for some particular activity?<BR><BR>And Joy is right about the aquarium--it's neat.

I'm not a big fan of Myrtle Beach, but if you do go, there's a spot in N. Myrtle called (I think) Beach and Boardwalk. It's sort of a Disney-style shopping and entertainment area. <BR><BR>Actually (and I say this without sarcasm) I find your question a bit amusing. What would interest a 2-year-old? When you learn the answer, be sure to write a book. It will be a best-seller.

Still waiting to hear what kids under 2 require for their vacations.<BR><BR>Beachie, you must be talking about Broadway at the Beach. It has shopping, restaurants, a man-made lake, the aquarium, IMAX, a dragon-theme miniature golf place, and restaurants. However, it's definitely in Myrtle Beach (although on 17 by-pass, not 17 business) rather than North Myrtle. There is also a NASCAR go-kart park across the street, but again, I doubt whether they cater to drivers under 2 years old.

Right you are, Chuck, re Broadway at the Beach. But the question lingers: Just how much does it take to entertain kids under 2?

Hi Jeff - First of all Did you mention what time of the year you are going <BR>to Myrtle Beach. The weather is always iffy in the month of March. This is the month that we always go. April is really starts to get warm. <BR><BR>Every March I go to judge a National Cheerleading Competition the convention center. The competition is always around St Patty's day. Here is where you see tons of family's. However, it is still considered non-peak season, so some of the parks are not opened.<BR><BR>Broadway at the beach is a great place and the fireworks are beautiful. Again, it all depends on the time of the year you go. Love the place and have back with the grandkids many times.<BR>
