Free Museums in Pawleys Island

"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."

"The Hollywood Wax Museum, opened in 2014, serves to honor the film industry with wax replicas of celebrities. One of its most iconic features is a giant ape, a tribute to King Kong, that stands at 35 feet tall."

"Aside from the historical museums in the area, Myrtle Beach is also home to several specialty museums that serve more as entertainment attractions than educational spaces. These places are perfect for those more interested in taking selfies with wax figure replicas of famous people, seeing mind-bending displays of strange human achievements, discovering the practical wonders of science, or checking out classic cars. Fun for the whole family, a trip to one or more of these promises an experience that will be talked (and maybe) laughed about for the foreseeable future."

"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."

"Warbird Park is a fascinating place in South Carolina that is a bit of a hidden gem. It is situated in the district known as Market Common on the grounds of what was once the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. With no admission fee, it is one of the city’s free things to do – and it’s also among the things to see that will entice aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike."
