There’s something about a beach vacation and an arcade that just goes together. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of Skee-Ball, the familiar thrill of childhood games, or the sudden need to prove to your family that you are, in fact, still very good at air hockey.
Myrtle Beach has plenty of places to play, from old-school arcades along the Boardwalk to huge entertainment centers with bowling, go-karts, and hundreds of games. You don’t even have to leave your resort to get started. Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark has its own Game On! arcade, so a little friendly competition is never far from your room.
Ready to get your game on? Here are some of the most fun arcades in Myrtle Beach to add to your vacation.
