A day can easily be spent at the Park due to the variety of activities. The grandkids did not get bored. We did not have to drive to several venues for them to have a great day.

Feeding the fish
Great! Not only some great shops - it is a great place for children. Lots of things to do. My grandchildren loved feeding the ducks and fish. It was at Christmas season, so the decorations were in place. The children loved each and every one. Miniature Golf is available for the older children to enjoy while Mom and Grandma shop. The younger children enjoyed the aquarium with their Dads. There were great shops with many items for Christmas gifts. Enjoyed finding unusual items. Granddaughters loved Build A Bear. Fountains are placed throughout the area and are beautiful. There were singers singing Christmas carols. Lots of excellent places to eat.

Tanger OutletBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Lots of name brand outlets with reasonable prices. I liked the variety of stores. A good selection of snack vendors to choose from when hungry and tired from all the bargain shopping. Places provided for the non shoppers to sit and watch the crowds go by.

Fabulous Family PlaceBest of IgoUgo

Story/Tip

We went the week of Thanksgiving with 2 of our daughters and their families. We had grandchildren there from 2 to 13. There were activities for all ages. It was just great to have a family getaway and have the time to enjoy each other. Myrtle Beach is a great place to do that due to the wide variety of activities.
