Fortunately North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has tons of fun family attractions and family-friendly restaurants seemingly on every corner.

Just the names of the neighborhoods in North Myrtle Beach, like Crescent, Ocean Drive, and Windy Hill Beach; not to mention Barefoot; should tell you all you need to know about what this town is all about! Here are some suggestions to consider for both things to do and places to eat while visiting the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex.

 

Things to Do

Alligator Adventure

Right in North Myrtle Beach is one of the biggest reptile parks in the world, but this 15-acre park has much more than plain old crocs and gators. Take in the Chinese and albino alligators, cassowary, false gharials, Eurasian eagle owl, Kookaburra, macaw, marmosets, red ruffed lemurs, caiman, turtles, and more! Don’t miss the frogs too.

In addition to showcasing wild animals, Alligator Adventure puts on wild live shows. The alligator live feedings are worth the price of admission. 15-foot alligators leaping out of the water and slamming their powerful jaws on their dinner should hold your kids’ attention. And “The Croc Doc” will be on hand to answer questions. Your kids can actually touch a real live alligator during alligator handling! 4604 Hwy 17 S, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
