Consistently ranked by fans as one of the top attractions in Myrtle Beach, S.C., The Hollywood Wax Museum offers an immersive, interactive, inimitably unique opportunity to rub elbows with “La-La- Land’s” brightest stars.
Once guests arrive at the monumental venue, a series of skyscrapers boasting a massive “King Kong” style gorilla perched atop, guests’ journey begins with a photo op inside the giant gorilla’s fist, which will later be printed in a variety of formats and available for purchase in the gift shop.
Once you have entered the vast expanses of the museum, endless adventure awaits as all your favorite celebrities, from every entertainment field and genre imaginable are guaranteed to be waiting at every corner including Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Melissa Mc Carthy and Oprah.
A height chart is available, shortly upon entry to the museum, where guests can check how they “measure up” to their favorite celebrities, ranging from tallest (such as Taylor Swift and Nicole Kidman) to the shortest (like Danny DeVito and Judy Garland). Informative and intriguing blurbs, bios and factoids are available on display with the majority of the featured wax figures including, but not limited to, your favorite stars’ birthdates, fun facts, filmographies, awards and nominations and famous pets.
Creatively curated and filled with nonstop fun from start to finish, the Hollywood Wax Museum features a vast array of themed sections including “The Horror Chamber” (with the cinema’s most notorious villains including Ghost Face from “Scream,” Leatherface from the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Halloween’s” Michael Myers, and my personal favorite: the “Queen of Darkness”, Elvira.
Meander down the hall toward a display of all the country music greats including the legendary Dolly Parton, “The Man in Black” Johnny Cash and Carrie Underwood.
Strike a pose with the iconic Lucille Ball during her hilarious “Vitameatavegimen” commercial shoot, and whip up some scrumptious concoctions in the kitchen with your favorite unlikely “foodie” duo, Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. Stop by the “What Kind of Villain are You” questionnaire board and answer a series of carefully concocted questions to conclude if are an alien, werewolf, a witch, or perhaps something even more sinister.
Whether you’re taking a stroll down memory lane with the biggest names of yesteryear (including Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and James Dean) or rubbing elbows with “New Hollywood” (which also comprises some of the newest figures at the museum, including Zendaya and Tom Holland, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, and more), you’re sure to make memories of a life time and garner social media-worthy photo ops unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere at this one of a kind, family friendly attraction.
We recommend purchasing the all-inclusive package, so you can experience all the high octane fun and excitement below, along with your wax museum visit.
HANNAH’s MIRROR MAZE:
Journey into the magical Kingdom of Savannah where King Oscar and Queen Emmy are distraught because their beautiful, yet tragically vain daughter, Hannah, has been banished by the unsightly witch, Hetty, to roam a hall of mirrors for all eternity.
While her parents, the King and Queen were away on royal duties, Hannah’s isolation caused her to turn to her own reflection for company, and soon spent all her time staring at herself in the mirror. Worried by their daughter’s self-absorption, the Royal Couple enlisted the help of the witch, Hetty, to simply place their beloved daughter under a spell to help cure her vanity. However, Hannah recoiled upon seeing Hetty’s unbecoming appearance, offending the witch, and causing her to ban the princess to her fate for all of eternity.
You, the guest, have been enlisted to wind through endless halls of mirrors, disorienting tunnels of illusion, and more to rescue the princess before it’s too late! Take time to pose for photo ops and explore every nook and cranny of the beautiful mirror maze, encounter talking holograms, a simulated firework show, and much more on your ultimate quest to discover if you are indeed “The Chosen One!”
