About

Free Fall Thrill Park delivers the intense amusement experience that big kids and teenagers actively seek out on Myrtle Beach vacations. Located at 1201 N Ocean Blvd right in the heart of Myrtle Beach's boardwalk area, this outdoor thrill park features vertical drop rides and high-adrenaline attractions that give older kids the kind of gut-punching excitement that standard family-friendly activities don't provide.

The target demographic here is clear: kids 8 and up who've outgrown carousel rides and want something with real intensity. Height and age requirements apply to most attractions, so younger children will need to sit this one out — which means it works better as an older-kid-specific activity while younger siblings stay back at the hotel or beach.

The location is the other major asset. N Ocean Blvd in the heart of Myrtle Beach means this is walkable from many beachfront hotels. Evening visits — particularly after 7PM — offer the classic beach boardwalk atmosphere with neon lighting and ocean breeze that makes the whole experience feel like an authentic summer vacation moment rather than just an amusement ride.

With 408 reviews and a 4.5-star rating, Free Fall has earned its reputation for delivering genuine thrills. Expect waits of 20-40 minutes for the most popular rides on peak summer evenings. Visiting Tuesday through Thursday significantly shortens those waits.

For Myrtle Beach families with a range of kid ages, Free Fall works as a targeted excursion for the older kids while younger siblings do something age-appropriate nearby.

Why Kids Love It

Free Fall Thrill Park delivers exactly what its name promises — thrill rides with the kind of stomach-drop intensity that big kids and teens crave. Located right on N Ocean Blvd with an oceanside energy, the park's vertical drop rides and outdoor amusements hit differently when you can smell the salt air. This is the park where older kids drag their parents, not the other way around.
