    What a gem! We took a family vacation in January and needed to incorporate some educational…read moreexperiences into our trip. This gallery was suggested and I'm glad we checked it out! We had a group of ten, so I reached out to the museum (as on their site it recommends doing so for groups of ten or more). We were able to schedule a group tour and art activity for $5 per person! But we also would have been free to just visit the museum on our own. The museum is housed in a beach house that was actually moved to the current location from further up the coast. It is a beautiful building with a more modern add on that houses the offices and studios. There is a gorgeous sunporch with games and puzzles that you can enjoy while there. The museum always has two digital exhibits. When we were there it was two South Carolina artists with extremely different styles. One was batik and nature scenes that were full of beautiful color. The other was more modern/abstract and used some interesting layering techniques. The museum educator gave us great information about each artist along with information about some of the museum's permanent collections and history of the museum and building. When we were done with our tour, we were able to make our own batik designs which used white wax crayons and watercolor to design whatever we wanted. It was really fun to get creative in this beautiful space! Overall this is a lovely place to visit. The museum is free but they do accept donations. You won't spend a ton of time here, but it is a great place to spend an hour or so, especially on a rainy or cold day.

    Staff was excellent, and the Impressionist exhibit was wonderful. Well worth the modest entry fee…read more We will be back. The series "Lateral Hazard" aspires to be a "playful and thought provoking" exhibition on MB's title of golf capital and our history with the military base. It was neither. The art itself was "meh" and the two artists expressed distain for both the military and golf without exploring beyond condemnation. The "thought provoking" was roughly at the level of "golf and the military power connection are bad, man" I'm a big fan of free speech, so they can say whatever they want. And I'm just a regular guy, not an art critic. Just expected either thoughtful discussion, or engaging art- got neither. Waste of time and space.

    Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center is a small chain of wax museums that opened in Los…read moreAngeles, California in February 1965. It was founded by Indian-born Canadian businessman and entrepreneur Spoony Singh. After touring famous attractions on Hollywood Boulevard, Singh realized he had not seen any celebrities save for their foot and handprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. He wanted to give people a chance to get close and look into the eyes of their favorite entertainers. He purchased an empty brassiere factory and luggage shop near Hollywood Boulevard and reopened it as the Hollywood Wax Museum: a wax museum that put its focus on A-List stars as well as classic entertainers. Singh would retire in 1990 and pass away in 2006, but his family still runs the operation. Additional locations of Hollywood Wax Museum opened in Branson (MO) in 1996, Gatlinburg (TN) in 2007 (replaced by Pigeon Forge in 2012), and Myrtle Beach (SC) in 2014. My family and I recently visited the Hollywood Wax Museum's Myrtle Beach location while we were on an East Coast Road Trip. We decided to purchase the All Access Pass which also gave us access to "Hannah's Maze of Mirrors" and "Outbreak - Dread the Undead". As soon as we walked in, we got to take a picture with a life-size sculpture of King Kong! Afterwards we had a blast seeing lifelike sculptures of all of our favorite celebrities and characters, such as Indiana Jones, Audrey Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, the Terminator, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Beyoncé and much more! I especially enjoyed the Chamber of Horrors which featured Count Dracula, the Mummy, and my personal favorite: Frankenstein's Monster! Afterwards, we had a lot of fun exploring the mirror maze. We actually had a hard time finding our way out of there. I had fun exploring the zombie attraction, but the thought of it was way too scary for my wife and sons. They decided to have another trip through the mirror maze instead. We ended up spending over 2 hours at the museum. We highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys wax museums!

I loved that you could use the props and available items to pose and take pictures with the figures. It made everything more entertaining and memorable. We also did the maze and the escape room, and both added even more fun to the visit. If you're there, definitely make sure to do them--they're worth it and complete the experience. A great attraction for families, friends, or anyone looking for something fun and interactive to do.
