Family Kingdom Review

I love Family Kingdom. There are a great array of rides for all ages, classic carnival food and games. The iconic Swamp Fox roller coaster, an old fashioned, wooden roller coaster is my favorite ride. Come bring the kids for a day of fun or be a kid yourself.

Probably the best thing we did on our trip to myrtle beach was visit family kingdom with our sons who are almost 4 and 6 years old. I wasn t thinking that they would not have a lot for them to do there but they had so many rides were their height. We bought the bracelets so they were able to go on unlimited rides. I only wish that they were open more than just the 4 hours window from 6 to 10. I am wondering why they aren t open earlier, especially in the summer months when lots of families are visiting with small children.

A good variety of rides for everyone. Lines weren't long. The rides could use some updates though. A couple of the cars on the Super Tilt wouldn't spin. One of the cars on the Thunder Bolt wouldn't swing. The Swamp Fox is the roughest, most jarring roller coaster I've ever experienced.

This is a fun park to bring your younger kids. You can get a wrist ban and rides all day long for 26.99 it's a great price to ride unlimited all day.

MY FIRST TIME GOING AND IT WAS AMAZING!! I LOVED HIW THEY CLEANED EACH RIDE AS PPL GOT OFF.

Pretty bland for adults and teens but great for families

Its so much fun but I think they should add new rides

Brought my youth group here and we had an afternoon of laughter and fun!!

Just had so much fun with my family just wish they would let little kids could ride me rides than what they do but either way we had a blast. My grandson looked like he really did have fun.

Fun park. The rides were nice and there's something for everyone. We bought the $50 ticket book because go carts aren't included in the all day wrist band and it was enough for 3 people to ride the good rides.

Right up the boulevard from our hotel down at south MB.
Lots to do here with many rides and amusement feel.
All the lights; great for kids and adults.

Sure, this isn't the grandest of amusement parks in the country, or even the south east...but it is fairly cheap, rarely crowded, and the Swamp Fox rollercoaster is one of the best kept secrets in the south east. There are few wooden rollercoasters that will have you holding your breath like this one. With multiple butt lifts and high speed action, it alone is well worth the price of admission.

The people that work here definitely need to tell people put your masks on because they don t at all! I only go here for Swamp Fox which is the best coaster at the park

My, oh my. Where to begin. We went this past August while one vacation in South Carolina and have been to many theme parks. The attendants that work the rides for the little kids earn five stars. They were absolutely amazing and observant. Also, the price to get the wristbands was really good compared to the Northeast rates we pay. Options for little kids for rides was great for an early evening out.

With that said, there were massive rats observed running around the park, and areas that smelled awful. Luckily, our kids didn't see the rats, otherwise they would have wanted to run to our vacation home. If they had seen them, surely this would be a one. But, we are adults and wondered if there just happen to be more rats in South Carolina than Jersey? We are familiar with field mice in the country, but not at amusement parks. Other visitors did not seem all that bothered by them. They were almost amused, so, we just accepted it.

There was little to no security at the gates or anywhere to be found. As such, kids were running around unsupervised. This became a huge problem upon departure near the gate. A young teenager was playing with someone, running swiftly, looking backwards, not forward, and fell right on top of our daughter in her stroller!! Luckily my Jedi mamma skills saved her from serious harm by placing my arm out between her and him while catching the stroller with the other hand and my knee as it fell. She could have seriously, seriously been hurt. He was very apologetic, as was his mom when she realized what happened. Not one person from the park responded to any of this, because, who cares? She was crying and slightly hurt, but thank God this wasn't worse than it could have been. Security is needed for many reasons. This is just one reason why. In our day and age, you need security, at the very least, around open public gates.

I wish this review could be better. There was much potential here. Again, the ride operators were amazing and the price was great, but, at what cost?

My 14 year old nephew dropped his wallet on the bumper cars. The operator found it, probably stoled the $42 inside and turned it in empty to the lost and found. . We tried to get the management to do something but they refused!!
Also, most of the rides are even to kiddioush for my 8 year old niece. The go carts were closed and only available to 18 yr and up. So my nephew didn't even get to ride go carts!!! Needless to say we will never be back. Travel Advisory: Family Kingdom is horrible

Kids had fun. If your military ask for discount. Even if you have on military hat or shirt. They will not ask you if your military. If you do happen to pay full price they give you 30 minutes to get a refund if over 30 minutes they say sorry should of came earlier. But how do you know to ask if no one tells you about it. They don't advertise it. As I was told it was up to me to ask. So I'm trying to tell everyone.

Fun place to go for some quick and easy rides. If you can get in. They have very odd hours. Kind of expensive. Its basically one big state fair that stays up all year round.

Pretty much a tourist trap, Be ready to spend lots of money

We bought the all you can ride bracelets on-line tripster... If you use that or the coupons available it definitely is worth the price, we only had to wait actually for one ride not overcrowded mid-week in this mid June. Attendant on bumper cars was EXACTLY what you wish all attendants were like. He was having fun w/ the guests. Absolutely love amusement parks I haven't seen an attendant quite that great in years.

Cute little amusement park with lots of rides for the little ones... my 4 yr old daughter had a blast.

This was the best park ever! Cleanest and nicest staff all were eager to please and polite! If ever in SC MYRTLE BEACH WITH kids it's a number 1 priority even before the beach!!

So many things to do here for families, adults, and kids. love the fair feel it has with the cotton candy, funnel cakes, and ice cream stands. It is cheaper to buy a wrist ban than pay with tickets. There is alot of rides. Keep your kids near you because its easy to lose them and bring comfortable shoes!

It is an over priced carnival more then a theme park. If we didn't have local discounts, we wouldn't have went. A few of the rides were fun. The hurricane and the Thunderbolt were my husband and I favorite. I would not suggest going on the swamp fox, which seems to be there main attraction. That ride flung me around like a rag doll. It was very painful. No ride should ever give you brusises nor a possible black eye. They should add more adult rides. Also they should include the water rides and the go-karts with the unlimited wrist bands. You have to buy tickets for those. Also I love that you can't smoke in the park, but I feel like they should have a designated smoking area for those who do smoke. My husband and I had fun overall though minus that death trap swamp fox. They need to update alot of there rides and add more for the adults.

Fun! Kids loved the all day wrist band. Not a huge selection of rides, but enough to keep them busy for 3 to 4 hours. Appreciated the clean restrooms.

If one goes for a thrilling experience one surely won t be disappointed, but rather than from the quality of the rides it ll be from the clear and apparent lack of safety, and the regard there of. I am baffled that the state of South Carolina hasn t closed this death trap. Then when you look at the pricing of place you would think you re at Disney, as it costs an arm and a leg for this glorified interstate carnival. I saw several times where staff were unhelpful, if not rude, with customers when they raised issues. In summation do not go.

Such a gem! Highly recommend. Fun, clean oceanside amusement park. Entry, games and food prices are very reasonable. Took our 5 kids on a Monday in April during spring break and there was no waiting for rides. They rode everything and had a ball (ages 3-12). Parking lot close to entrance, so no long walks back and forth to your car. $7 parking and we paid $28 for the unlimited wristbands which was worth it. Funnel cakes $6; nachos $4, pizza $4 and burgers $6 to get an idea of prices. Staff was friendly and we saw employees walking around cleaning. Swamp fox coaster intensity rivaled some of the wooden coasters I've been on at major amusement parks plus beautiful views of the ocean from the top of the coaster. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Great place to bring the whole family to enjoy fun and games... everything is great here even though it s super hard to win anything but it doesn t help to try and have fun.

Nice amusement park is a cornerstone of mb. Just remember your mask. There are lots of people running around in and around the park

Ride rules make it so just about everyone has to either buy tickets or an arm band. Our 4 yr old couldn't ride even tame non-kiddie rides with our 12 year old without me or my wife. Didn't feel like it was worth the money we spent, but kids did have fun.

Nice amusement park. Lots of rides for my 3-year old son. Agree with other reviewers that it's pricey. Most rides are 3-5 tickets, and tickets ate $1+ each. We should have gotten our son the $25 unlimited bracelet.

Bought three wristbands rained all day can t use them no refund

It's cool for the kids. Could use some more rides but when its 10 dollar wrist bands you cant beat it.fiid and games are a bit pricey though.

Could use a lil bit of updating, have had the same rides for years now!! Need a little cleaning on the bathroom!! Need to put some better food and game service in the park!! Just maybe a lil bit friendly workers in the park as well!!!!

The boys and myself had such a great time here! They asked me the very next day if they could go back, as in right now and they sulked when I said no! I'm still recovering and it is a bit of a drive for me. The people working there were all professionals. Very welcoming and even the food was good. All their rides were operational and the wait was not long at all even for the roller coaster. The log flume twist and shake and of course the swamp fox were so much fun for us. We spent over 4 hours there and I will definitely be going back.

Great place down by the beach. We were nk impressed as to how clean the park was kept. The staff were helpful and respectful. Lines moved quickly and there were more than enough rides to keep the kids occupied. Even for those who don't ride the rides, it is nice to be able to walk in and enjoy a slice on summertime Americana along the shore. Oh, and funnel cakes!!

A MUST GO TO for the kiddos!! And hey! Adults who are still young at heart too &
L VE HAVIN FUN!!!

A traditional amusement park.Remember me the days when i was a kid with the town fairs.

Took the kids there and they had a wonderful time. The people are friendly and the park was clean.

Family Kingdom was very good for family's with kids of all ages. Our three year old was 43 inches tall and able to get on 14 rides by himself. He was really happy to ride the helicopter with UFO ride and loved the motorcycles. It was definitely a family environment.

Showing up to sky high ticket prices. Luckily the lines weren't very long. Made it worth it . It's closed for the season. Awesome to check out though. Tech guys were nice

Super fun amusement park. The classic Swamp Fox rollercoaster is the largest in the area. They also have a wild mouse and kiddie coaster too. You can buy an all day pass or individual tickets. The train is pretty long. The Log flume is awesome and unique with the first drop/Hill! Definitely a must for adrenaline fun.

We didn't have enough time to go on and do everything that we wanted to but what we did do was fantabulous coming back tomorrow okay

The park is great just wish the had more rides for older kids but the smaller rides are perfect for little ones

A traditional family favorite! The prices are kind of high for single tickets (each ride takes 3-5 tickets) but the wristband is a good value if you'll be riding a lot. A lot of the ride staff are seasonal and most speak basic English at most, but are friendly enough to suit this extrovert. The food spots are interesting in terms of staff- they can't get an order right to save their souls but it's just a small inconvenience. Overall we love Family Kingdom and can't wait to come back year after year!

My visit came during the Covid pandemic so a lot of the rides were closed. However, they did still have enough thrill rides open to be enjoyable. I am definitely returning on my next trip to Myrtle.

The park was so fun we stayed there from:5.00 to .11.00

My family really enjoyed the place, it had rides for the whole family including plenty for my 2 year old to ride. Park was really clean and not very crowded.

Been going here since I was 5 in 50 now make me feel like a kid again

Very friendly staff! Fun riding the roller coaster. It would have been better for younger children.

Nice amusement park with views of the ocean. Fun place to go for a night out. There is an airbrush place inside the park near the coaster and the people who work there are great. There are plenty of rides, snacks and games to pick out of to do.

It was the best time of my life . You all have some kind people working for you .l won't you to know that They were very helpful to help me out of the ride 's

Had a blast with my baby and husband, we loved the hurricane ride. My daughter loved the train and carasel.

This place is awesome! Not too big and not to small. Always clean, family friendly.

It was ok. Not covid free though. Lots of ppl walking around with no mask.

The go kart tracks here must be done if you visit. Great fun. The other rides that they've got are great too. For the size of the land they packed a lot in there. It's cool for a visit.

Not enough rides for the bigger kids and adults the price is just to high for so little plus one ride wasn't working and one was taken out. Unless you are talking a bunch of 5 year olds then save your money!

From the top of the farris wheel. My 10 year old daughter and I had a blast.

Great family fun! I don t feel like it s overpriced. Going to look at alligators costs $24.99 for adults and $16.99 for kids at alligator adventure, so $27 unlimited wristband for something the kids love and spend hours having a great time at is not overpriced. Will definitely go back. They have lots of rides to choose from and all were in great working order and clean.

I think it's too expensive for the limited rides they have, most of the children rides my kids couldn't get on, they either too tall or too short to get on

Great day....our Granddaughter loved all the kiddies rides...alit easier that they are all on one side of the park....well worth the price.
.

This place was so fun for the kids! They really enjoyed riding the train, airplane rides & monster trucks. A lot of fun for the whole family. #themarcumtribe #travels

Reasonablely priced
Lots if rides to pick from
Staff was very nice and friendly
Many fun activities to do
We bought the bracelet and I recommend it as there are a variety of rides that kids will enjoy
Parking is not free, there are 5$ parking lots around, cheaper than it's parking lot which is 7$
Overall fun activity for the kids
Make sure to check the weather before you go, it started raining and they closed it, they have no refund or raincheck refund except if bought within 15 minutes

Great place to take young children. A lot of small rides. No smoking in the park which is nice for children. It is cheaper to buy a wrist ban than pay with tickets.

Hardly no rides for 8 year old. Recommend for younger kids and Teens can enjoy 1 to 2 rides at best. I like to know where all the rides they advertised are at? Think said like 20 to 30 rides lol

We had a great time. I wish the price for 3 years old wasn't the same price as an adult. There wasn't a lot my son could ride because of his height. But he was happy riding the same ones more than once. So I guess it was OK.

There are always so many places to visit in the park. I love going there every time I'm at the beach.

Great park in an excellent location. There is a lot of fun for the family and for all the ages

Great place for the whole family. It was our first time here, but will definitely come back.
I feel bad for some of the students who came to work in this amusement park, especially for the one who works at the motorcycle ride near the garbage, the smell there is not the best, and the kids go so excited with pressing the horn, so it should be extremely difficult to stand the sound and smell.

Had a great time, Need more Tickets I wanna race the gocarts again, Lol

Okay little amusement park for the area. Lots of familiar fair rides. Do not ride the roller coaster unless you have a chiropractor on standby! Everything is overpriced; but it is a tourist spot.

Horrible. They closed early without saying anything. Kids had an hour to ride the rides that they had opened up.

Make sure you ask about the military discount. Decent attraction, plenty of rides for little children. Good time.

It's an awesome place for Family fun. I brought my children here almost every year since 2001. Now I'm bringing my Grandson. It's very economical. Free to enter. You can buy all-day wristband or individual tickets. It's a great way to spend a beach afternoon/evening.

lots of fun for little ones. I try every year to bring the grand kids. we can spend entire night here. with the pavilion closed so many years ago this will be a great place to take the kids. not much for older kids but the little ones have a blast!

Fun amusement park with a great variety of rides and games. Prices are not bad at all either.

Tremendous value for your dollars! All day pass for $53.00 for 2 ppl! Can't beat it! About 7 or 8 great rides from the Legendary Wooden Coaster to Spinatron! The Log Plume is great choice to get wet and cool off during the day! Best Mini Park since Circus Circus in Vegas!

Had a great time with the family,( kids from 15 to 6) rides were not too scary.kind of need something with a little more thrill for the older group.

Walked by daily, would only see a few rides operating. Couldn't figure out what kind of schedule they have. Wanted to check out the dodge cars but never seen them operating.

Love it. My wife and kids go here every year. This year my sister and nephew came as well with us on vacation and to see my 9 year old and 11 year old nephew ride their first "big" roller coaster was great. Had a blast

The people are friendly, the park is clean and my kids had a wonderful time.

Not the worst and a lot of the employees were pretty nice...but a number of rides were closed and some of the ride rules made no sense in terms of consistency from one to another for example.

We had a ball. Everywhere we went everyone was helpful & nice. Will most definitely be coming back with the rest of the family.

The staff were all very friendly. Regular sanitation between passengers. Decent prices as well. Great assortment of rides for kids of different ages.

Beatifull place for a family fun night!! A lot of rides and games for the whole family

We had a great time and we had our pick of the rides because it had been sprinkling lightly and many had run off. We went to the water park in the morning, which is OK, but you run out of rides in a couple of hours. It is best if you go to both the water park and dry rides. We had some close parking which I liked. Kids had a great time!
