Learning is at the center of the fun anchored at EdVenture Myrtle Beach Children’s Museum. Located in The Market Common, all 3,000 square feet of EdVenture is packed with hands-on exhibits for kiddos of all ages.
The popular museum has two other locations in South Carolina, each with a unique layout of exhibits and schedule of programs and events, but the trio of EdVentures are all founded on the same mission to “inspire the joy of learning in children and their families” in a safe museum experience.
EdVenture also aims to connect with the communities they serve through family support and business partnerships. Located near the best Myrtle Beach Resorts such as Compass Cove and Paradise Resort, EdVenture’s support comes from the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base Redevelopment Authority, Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, and Publix, which reflects in the hands-on exhibits at this location.
