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."

"We can’t promise you’ll see any celebrities wondering the beach while you’re here, but we can promise you can hang out with plenty of them at the Hollywood Wax Museum!.
