Where is Family Kingdom on the Myrtle Beach map?
Family Kingdom is at 300 4th Ave. South, in Myrtle Beach’s seaside area. The address makes it easy to locate when planning a visit, and the park’s oceanfront setting puts it within the city’s coastal attraction district.
If you are building a wider day around the coast, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and SkyWheel route covers another area attraction.
What are the ticket and admission options?
You can enter Family Kingdom without paying if you do not ride; visitors pay for attractions they choose to ride. The park offers both individual ride credits and unlimited-ride wristbands, but prices and available offers can change, so check the official site before you go.
Individual ride credits cost $1 each, and rides require between 4 and 18 credits. Unused credits do not expire and can be used on a future day when the park is open.
Wristbands allow unlimited rides, and holders can leave and return on the same day. Keep the wristband on and show it to a ride attendant when you re-enter.
Which rides and attractions should you plan around?
Family Kingdom has more than 32 rides, and the park has served visitors since 1966. Its signature Swamp Fox wooden roller coaster also opened in 1966.
The Swamp Fox has a 72-foot lift, a 62-foot first drop, and 2,640 feet of track. Its scale and long history make it a useful ride to keep in mind when planning which attractions to try.
What are the hours, seasons, and arrival tips?
Check the park’s official site for current operating hours and ticket details before setting out. Hours and offers can vary, and the park’s posted schedule does not provide a set closing time.
Plan around a few basic park rules: food, drinks, and coolers are not allowed inside, and all riders must wear shirts and shoes on rides. Children under 16 must stay with an adult chaperone at all times and cannot be left alone in the park.
Rides do not close for light rain, but they do close for thunder and lightning. If the park or rides close after opening, ticket holders can ask about accommodation at the Main Office. For questions before your visit, call 843-626-3447.
