Best Museums in Oceanside Village

"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."

"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.

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."
