Enjoy Brookgreen Gardens in the cool of the evening for the final week this summer when gardens stay open late on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
On Wednesday and Friday evenings, music fills the air with outdoor concerts, evening boat rides, and on Thursday evenings there are special programs just for kids. Food service is available all three evenings. Entertainment and programs are included in garden admission which is good for seven days! (boat rides are an additional fee – adults $8, Children $4.) Here is the entertainment schedule for the week of August 3-5.
Wednesday, August 3 at 7 pm – TruSol – hear the music of a Myrtle Beach based favorite Pop/Rock band.
Thursday, August – Start Family Night with a “A Pirate’s Journey Along the Creeks” aboard The Springfield. The pontoon boat rides are at 5, 6, and 7 pm. At the end of the trip, you’ll find the treasure chest and kids pick a keepsake coin from the chest to take home. Each child also gets a pirate hat and a treasure map that is theirs to keep. Arrrgh… don’t be a landlubber and miss the boat! (Regular boat ride tickets required) The Children’s Discovery Room is open until 7 pm and has 30,000 LEGO® bricks available for kids to play with during their visit.
