Free Museums in Murrells Inlet

"As one of the newer indoor attractions in Myrtle Beach, the Hollywood Wax Museum is certainly growing in popularity, drawing in more and more people each year. On a rainy day there aren’t many more things to do as fun as taking pictures with your favorite “celebrities,” and Myrtle Beach’s wax museum is the only wax museum in the country devoted to celebrities only. Stand next to the likes of Iron Man’s Robert Downey Jr., or other a-list staples like Robert DeNiro and Julia Roberts."

"Located right across from the popular Broadway at the Beach, this recent addition to the Myrtle Beach attraction lineup is hard to miss!. The Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center is actually home to three unique attractions. The largest and most well known, as one might guess, is the Hollywood Wax Museum."

"The Hollywood Wax Museum, which opened in June 2014, is the fourth of its kind in the United States. You can find it at Broadway at the Beach, a well-known beachfront attraction."

"Myrtle Beach has seven different Ripley's attractions in two different locations: Broadway at the Beach and North Ocean Boulevard near Plyer Park. Perfect for a rainy or cool day or just for some pure fun and nonsense, these attractions never fail to provide a good time. Options include the Super Fun Zone arcade; a 5-D Moving Theater; the spectacular Ripley's Aquarium; a Haunted Adventure; a Marvelous Mirror Maze; the Smash Dash; and the old standby of oddities, Believe it or Not!"

"You will be amazed and shocked by what you find in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not located on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. Lots of hands on things to do and interesting things to look at. It will be an interesting day when you explore this odditorium."

"The only place in Myrtle Beach where you’ll find shrunken heads, a 8ft tall Transformer sculpture made of scrap car..."

"The Franklin G. Burroughs – Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum is a learning space that is home to a library, visual arts exhibits, and a classroom. Situated on South Ocean Boulevard, it is a crucial part of South Carolina’s art scene and culture. It is home to regular temporary shows featuring sculptures, ceramics, and photography, and it is also packed with educational programs, art classes, and special events on its roster."

"The Myrtle Beach Pinball Museum is one of South Carolina’s greatest arcades. With a lovely location near to other attractions, eateries, accommodation spots, and shopping locations, it’s a fantastic way to get some fun into your visit. The Pinball Museum boasts a wide range of games, ranging from those dating back to the 1970s to modern, shinier offerings of today."

"Warbird Park is an educational and free attraction located in the Market Common district of Myrtle Beach at the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. Since its privatization in 1993, the base has become a beautiful park, displaying aircraft that was once an active part of operations, and each craft on display is presented with details about its history and significance. Among aircraft on display, tourists will find an A-10 Warthog Thunderbolt that supported ground troops during Operation Desert Storm, an F-100 jet fighter that saw action between the mid-1950s and early 1970s, and one of the base's A-7 Corsair tactical fighter jets."

"Located in The Market Common, the Seacoast Artists Guild & Gallery gives local artists the opportunity to both practice their craft and to sell their works. Workshops, lecture series and special sales make this place a must-see for artsy types."

"Right around the corner from Studio B is the Seacoast Artists Guild and Gallery. This gallery focuses more on local artists from around the Lowcountry, and like Studio B is highly regarded by residents and visitors alike."

"Located in The Market Common, Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar is a small chain of casual Italian restaurants that serve contemporary American Italian cuisine in a relaxed setting. Owned by Mark Craig and Kevin Cox, who were inspired by the beauty, food, and wine of the Napa Valley to open the restaurant, Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar offers an ever-changing menu of classic and traditional Italian food. Dishes are prepared using fresh, locally sourced, and regional ingredients and are accompanied by an impressive collection of carefully-chosen wines."

"Sun, 11 AM - 9 PM, Mon-Thurs 11 AM - 10 PM, Fri-Sat, 11 AM - 11 PM. If you’re in the mood for some delicious Italian dishes, look no further than Travinia Italian Kitchen. Travinia has a family-friendly atmosphere with an exquisite take on contemporary American Italian cuisine using fresh local ingredients and pairing perfectly with one of the many wines they have available."

"The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk continues to bring new businesses to the downtown district, and the 8th Avenue Tiki Bar & Grill is the latest addition to this increasingly hottest spot in town. Taking over a historic building previously occupied by legendary night clubs like Mother Fletcher's and Club Myst, 8th Avenue Tiki Bar & Grill hopes to bring a new attitude and atmosphere to the Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - a more festive, beach environment instead of the dance-club reputation of the building's previous owners and operators. Using bright colors and a new patio deck addition, 8th Avenue Tiki Bar & Grill plans to hold luaus and other beach-related festivities to the Boardwalk area, something that has been missing from the area since the 1.2-mile walkway was opened in 2009."

"8th Avenue Tiki Bar stays true to their name with a fun atmosphere, tempting food and drink specials, and a view that can’t be beat!. This casual beachfront hot spot is located right along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk."

"Experience a taste of Brazilian feast in traditional Churrascaria fashion at Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse. Located just across 29th Avenue North from Broadway at the Beach, Rioz provides a unique tableside service like a well-orchestrated ballet troop. Offering 15 different cuts of beef, pork, lamb and poultry, all grilled and seasoned to perfection, Rioz staff circles the dining room and slices your choices on your plate until you give the signal to stop."

"Reservations are recommended so you can be quickly seated and start enjoying the show, i.e., the continuous stream of Brazilian gauchos serving more than 15 different cuts of beef, pork, lamp and poultry."
