Best Museums in Vaught

"Every tourist town needs a wax museum, and Myrtle Beach is no exception with its Hollywood House of Wax. You'll have no trouble spotting it off Highway 17; just look for King Kong swinging off the Empire State Building. Inside the wax museum are eerily lifelike wax figures of Hollywood's most famous actors, including Clint Eastwood, Duane Johnson (aka The Rock), and others."

"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."

"Ripley’s - those trusty curators of the strange and unbelievable - have been running their Odditorium museums for just over a century. Here in Myrtle Beach, you’ll have the chance to witness things you wouldn’t have thought possible. You can check your height against the tallest person in the world, gaze in wonder at a six-legged pig and even view authentic shrunken heads."

"A trip to Ripley’s Museumis one of the top kid-friendly activities in Myrtle Beach. If you find your family in the middle of Ocean Boulevard looking to escape some rain or avoid a sunburn, you will definitely want to stop in and see Ripley’s Believe It or Not!"

"The museum features 11 galleries across two floors that include regional, national, and international artwork of varying mediums. Classes and workshops are also available for a fee."

"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."

"Good food.I got there in time for the special and ordered two which was much less than the regular price. Was disappointed they didn't..."

"Sun City Cafe is a homey restaurant that is bursting with color, Mexican decor, comfortable indoor seating, and an open-air patio. As you wait for your food, take as many bites of the nachos or order other appetizers like soups, quesadillas, sides, tacos, salads, and more. You cannot visit Myrtle Beach and not visit the Sun City Cafe as it’s hands down the best place to find flavorful Mexican food."

"King Kong is a fitting symbol for the enormous sushi rolls this place twists up for its guests. Located in the popular Broadway at the Beach shopping, dining and entertainment complex, King Kong offers excellent sushi, sashimi and hibachi dishes in a relaxed setting. Hardwood floors and tables with large-leaf ceiling fans create an enjoyable environment for couples, friends and families, and the wide range of Japanese cuisine ensures there's something on the menu for everyone."

"Bombay at the Beach is one of the top spots to grab Indian cuisine in Myrtle Beach. This restaurant hosts a lunch buffet as well as offers a menu that is full of tasty items. Start your meal with a soup or a vegetarian appetizer such as an assorted selection of Samosas and Pakora (think similar to fritters)."

"This spot is a must for vegans, as the staff is very friendly and accommodating and will make sure any vegetarian dish you order is prepared vegan-style. Pro tip: Come hungry for the lunch buffet."
