I think we can all agree we all miss and were sad to see the original Pavilion get tore down, this however is a remnant and a much needed one to remember such a historic park. Pavilion is one of the many inspirations that has moved me to keep what will use to be known as Freestyle Music Park alive.... More

How sad that the brilliant people who owned the original pavilion and park destroyed an iconic symbol of Myrtle Beach. Now the center of Myrtle Beach is a huge grassy lot. Good for kite flying I suppose.

Its sad to see them take advantage of the parents of young children by charging way too much for these rides. The rides seemed clean and well-maintained, but they made my wife buy an extra ticket so our 2.5 year old could safely ride. This part of the trip was not-so-magical. Next time we will park on the other side... More

Thankfully our visit to Broadway at the Beach wasn't just for the park. There's a lot of fun rides, but the prices were outrageous for tickets, especially with a 5, 4 and 3 year old. Word of advice to anyone who has kids who LOVE carousels... Barefoot Landing is less then half the price per child. And if you're new... More

I always looked forward to going to the pavilion at the beach. I was very sad when it closed. However, I was happy to see some of the rides at Pavilion Nostalgia Park. My family loves all of the rides! I think their favorite is the caterpillar.

We have a 15mo and 3yo, we thought this looked like nice place for them, especially the 3 year old. The rides were expensive (about $3 each, per person) and they were like OLD carnival rides.(rickety old) Not impressed at all. Not to mention, there were not many rides, either.

These are small basic rides, but it is nice to have them at broadway at the beach now that the original pavilion is closed. It's a fun thing to do for an hour before moving on to the other activities at Broadway at the Beach.
