For over 58 years the Pavilion in Myrtle Beach was one the hottest vacation spots in South Carolina. Millions and millions of visitors cruised the boulevard and rode the rides at the Pavilion leaving memories that lasted a lifetime. In 2006, the Pavilion was no more, changing the look of Myrtle Beach forever. Pieces of that history are still around and nothing could be more fun than taking a walk down memory lane at Pavilion Nostalgia Park.
Located at the shopping, dining, and entertainment sensation Broadway at the Beach, Pavilion Nostalgia Park allows visitors to ride the classic rides of yesteryear. Featuring the Herschel l- Spillman Carousal from the original park, families can enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of this carnival atmosphere featuring fantastic fun for everyone. Take your kids on the rides you used to ride and tell them the stories of your childhood before the days of social media. Smile and laughter will abound as you reminisce of days gone by.
The kiddies will have a blast riding the Tea Cup, Motorcycle, and Dune Buggie rides as well as the many other exciting children’s adventures that line Pavilion Nostalgia Park. For the older ones there are the Caterpillar Ride, the Wave Swinger, and the stomach dropping Pirate Ship. No matter your age or size there is a classic ride waiting for you so head on down to the park today.
There are not just rides at Pavilion Nostalgia Park but even the classic games of Duck Pond, Spill the Milk, Bushel Baskets and Mini Basketball. Challenge yourself in the Nostalgia Arcade with over 45 video and redemption games. Take a rest and listen to the historical sounds of the German Baden Band Organ. Sit back and take it all in as the fond memories enter your mind and sweep you away to that “happy” place in your life.
