If you haven’t already, check out Day 1 of our Myrtle Beach vacation before continuing on! Day 2 started with breakfast at Vista 9 on the ninth floor of our Myrtle Beach hotel. Captain’s Quarters Resort has a buffet-style breakfast with a newly added made-to-order omelet station.
Then we headed to the Hollywood Wax Museum which was quite easy to find since there’s a giant gorilla hanging from the top. There’s a go-cart racing track next to it and Broadway at the Beach, one of Myrtle Beach’s primary shopping destinations, is right across the street.
Cameron Diaz
Broadway at the Beach is home to attractions such as Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Ripley’s Aquarium, Hard Rock Café, WonderWorks, Legends in Concert, Dave & Buster’s, Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen, Wahlburgers, Carolina Ale House and more!
Channing Tatum
The Hollywood Wax Museum was a lot bigger than I expected, multiple floors and hallways to explore. You are not supposed to touch the wax figures but they do have a ton of props to choose from.
Johnny Depp
My girls loved dressing up in the pirate hats! While it is mainly a wax museum, there are actually 2 other attractions. You can purchase a combo ticket to do all three which is totally worth it.
Lucille Ball
Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors was a lot of fun! You have to find your way through the mirrored corridors hidden inside the Castle of Savannah and save Princess Hannah from her fateful maze of mirrors. It’s harder than it looks!
Tom Cruise & John Cena
Originally we weren’t going to do Outbreak, the zombie haunted house, located in the basement of the wax museum. You can do the mirror maze twice if you’d rather not do the haunted house.
My 7 y/o daughter was terrified, but my 6 y/o couldn’t wait. Then on the way there, my oldest decided she wanted to try it.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
My husband and I carried them all the way through, but we all made it to the end without running out any emergency exits! Most of the zombies are just animatronics and the live people don’t chase you or touch you. Still pretty scary though!
Brendan Fraser
Depending on fast you walk and how many pictures you take, you can speed though it and get back to swimming or slow down to kill some time on a rainy day. You could easily do all three attractions within 2 hours.
Clint Eastwood & John Wayne
I had to get a shot of Clint and John. My dad always loved their movies. My girls had no idea who the Terminator was, but Haley was super excited about the photo with Katy Perry.
Arnold Schwarzenegger & Katy Perry
After we left the wax museum, we headed to the Noisy Oyster for lunch!
I tried fried oysters for the very FIRST time! My husband and kids tried it too. We weren’t brave enough to try the raw ones, but the fried ones were actually really delicious.
The Noisy Oyster obviously has an assortment of fresh seafood and oysters, but they also serve burgers and yummy drinks!
I had an Ocean-Rita which is sort of like a margarita but better! It’s a mix of sweet syrups and tequila!
After lunch we headed back to the Captain’s Quarters Resort for more fun in the lazy river and a hunt for shark teeth on the beach! Stay tuned for pictures from our trip to T.I.G.E.R.S!
Myrtle Beach is one of my favorite places to go on vacation. It’s so much fun. We’ve been there a few times and we never leave without visiting the wax museum.
Hollywood Wax Museum looks so amazing! I’m so impressed with how they manage to make them look so life like.
Oh how cool is this! They really have some incredible sculptures. I’d definitely try the maze and Outbreak!
I love wax museums, they are so creepy but realistic and fun to visit. I am glad that you were able to see this Hollywood wax museum in Myrtle Beach. What a fun time!
We stayed at the Captains Quarters when we went to Myrtle Beach. We eat at The Noizy Oyster though, but we’ll check it out next time we go!
Did y’all do the wax museum?
Your vacation looks like so much fun! I cannot wait to take the kids to a wax museum they are going to flip!
I’ve never been to Myrtle Beach and have always wanted to go. The wax museum looks like it was a fun time!
The Hollywood Wax Museum looks so fun! I think I have a similar picture of my cozying up to Tatum Channing from our Madam Tussaud visit when we were in Vegas. My husband would definitely love The Noisy Oyster. He’s a seafood fanatic and would try them both raw and fried.
That was such a fun trip with the kids! I’m glad you got through the haunted house and that the kids weren’t scared at all! It’s really awesome seeing all these figures.
Wax museums are always so much especially when you’re visiting with the kids! It’s definitely something that the family will enjoy!
It looks like you made the most out of you first day in Myrtle Beach! It’s always nice to visit the wax museum! The haunted house sounds like a place my boys will love, lol!
Looks like you had so much fun in that museum! Would love to visit soon!
I would love to go to Myrtle Beach it looks like they have more than golf courses there. I have been to wax museums but this one looks like more fun.
LOL, your comment cracked me up! We noticed A LOT of mini golf places but some were really neat looking. We almost tried it but decided to do bowling at the resort instead.
They all look so real! We would love to visit here one day!
What an awesome museum! Perfect for photo ops! I would love to visit Myrtle Beach sometime. Looks like a really cool place to have a vacation in.
I haven’t been to Myrtle Beach in years and I love wax museums. It’s so cool how you got different props to really add yourself into each scene. Looks like you guys had a great time. I really want to get there asap!
