If you’re looking for a great place to visit on a rainy day, Molten Mountain has a course indoors. You can also play outdoors next to their 50-foot active volcano which erupts every 30 minutes.

Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf

Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf has been a staple in North Myrtle Beach since 1955. Here you’ll find two courses, each perfect for a date night or evening with the kids. The first is the Lost Treasure Golf Course which begins with a train ride to the first hole at the top of a mountain. As you play your way down the mountain, you’ll hear the story of Duffer A. Hacker, a man who led an expedition to search for gold and diamond mines. Players can attempt to discover prehistoric bones, statues, and hidden treasure during their game.
The second course is the Dinosaur Adventure Course, which features an 85-foot long steamship, waterfalls, streams, dinosaurs, a hot air balloon, and more! Follow Professor Hacker’s adventure on a mysterious island that contains dinosaurs. You’ll love exploring the lost world while playing through the course.

Enjoy the sounds of birds while playing the 18-hole course, or step out to the back deck to feed to resident turtles! The course is also home to the United States ProMiniGolf Association that holds the Crocodile Rocks Master’s, a national competition.

Mayday Golf

Mayday Golf has two courses, each contributes to an ongoing story. The first, Mayday Mountain, puts players at the site of a plane crash. Players must make their way through the tropical island to rescue. It’s an 18-hole course that is bound to challenge!
The second course is Rescue Falls, which features a real Huey rescue helicopter. The brave players are going to be rescued; they just have to make their way through 18 more holes. You’ll be taken past the Falls, a waterfall that tends to catch visitors off-guard.

One thing that has become very popular over the past few years is ropes courses. These are good for the younger ones in the family and the older teens. There are several places along the Grand Strand where your family can head to check out the courses. If you’re looking to stay near your vacation rental in North Myrtle Beach, then head over to LuLu’s Beach Arcade at Barefoot Landing. This is a good place for the whole family to enjoy a little time together. While the next two aren’t in North Myrtle Beach, we still wanted to share them with you, Myrtle Beach Zipline Adventures and Radical Ropes Adventure Park. All these rope courses will challenge you to get through the course without any help and have a good time!

 Break Out Fun

Another fun thing that the whole family can get into is trying their hand at Break Out Myrtle Beach Escape Room. This has become a trendy thing to do around the country, and it’s a great thing to do on a rainy day. Decide on a day to do the escape room and work together as a team to find your way out. There are many times that you must try and do along with a few rooms but working together is the way to go. From tweens to teens, the older kids will love this adventure, and it is something that they can do with their friends. Think of the memories you’ll make on this fun outing together on your next vacation.

Shopping
