Guests of all ages are sure to have a blast and make lasting memories during their time at one of Myrtle Beach’s top, must-see attractions.
“Our Space Zone is always a blast to experience, whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning. It has so many galactic simulators, photo spots, challenges, and more!” said Kaitlin Barnes, education sales manager at WonderWorks Myrtle Beach. “If your family enjoyed following along with NASA’s Artemis II mission this past spring, you’ll definitely want to come explore the Space Zone for yourself this summer!”
Space enthusiasts will not want to miss checking out WonderWorks Myrtle Beach this summer. July 20th marks Space Exploration Day and National Moon Day each year, commemorating Apollo 11’s historic first moon landing anniversary. There are several activities guests can engage in at WonderWorks to get a feel for space travel. Stepping into the Space Discovery Zone will give space fans of all ages an immersive, educational experience, as it highlights the wonders of our galaxy and space exploration.
From climbing into replicas of the Mercury Capsule or an EVA space suit, to flying a virtual space shuttle on a mission to Mars, to exploring the moon’s surface with Google Moon, the interactive exhibits keep galactic learning fun and exciting. The Astronaut Training Challenge gives thrill seekers an opportunity to feel the effects that outer space has on humans by allowing four people to get into a gyroscope that spins and rotates in random directions, offering a feeling of weightlessness and g-forces. The Space Discovery Zone provides an out-of-this-world summer vacation experience for all.
To elevate guests’ visits even further, WonderWorks Myrtle Beach is hosting The Great American Summer of Wonder to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence on July 4, 2026. Now is the perfect time to get in on the celebration of American innovation and patriotism that will be running through Labor Day.
