Plan Myrtle Waves around the ticket that actually fits your beach vacation
Myrtle Waves Water Park sits at 3000 Mr. Joe White Avenue in Myrtle Beach. The park mixes big body slides, tube rides, a FlowRider, a large wave pool, lazy river and two useful areas for smaller children.
The confusing part is not finding water rides. It is deciding between a full-day ticket, twilight admission, a seven-day pass, season pass, military rate or group rate while also checking whether the kids are tall enough for the slides they have been talking about all week.
Myrtle Waves 2026: the quick answer
Current online general admission is $49.99 + tax for guests over 48 inches and $39.99 + tax for guests under 48 inches. Age 2 and under is free. The park also sells a military/senior rate, twilight tickets, a seven-consecutive-day pass and 2026 season passes.
Start with the decision your group is actually making
“We are going once”
Buy online before arrival if the current $49.99/$39.99 prices remain lower than gate pricing for your party.
“We only have an afternoon”
Check the exact closing time, then compare the three-hour twilight ticket. A short park day feels very different when closing is 5 PM versus 8 PM.
“We are in Myrtle Beach all week”
Compare the $84.99 seven-day pass before buying a second full-price adult ticket.
“We have military, senior or group eligibility”
Use the official rate that matches your party before searching coupon sites. The verified discount can be better than an unconfirmed promo code.
Myrtle Waves Water Park tickets and admission prices
The important detail is that admission is not priced by age alone. The main general-admission split is based on whether the guest is over or under 48 inches tall.
General Admission: Over 48″

Searches for a “Myrtle Waves coupon” often lead to old deal pages, vacation brochures and promo-code sites. A better order is to check the discounts the park itself currently publishes, then compare anything else against that price.
Military admission
$44.99 + taxThe 2026 ticket page lists Senior Age 55+ / Military admission at the park. The same page lists a $34.99 military/senior twilight ticket.

Generic coupon code
No general public 2026 coupon code was verified on the official Myrtle Waves pages reviewed for this guide. Do not plan the budget around a code until the checkout accepts it.
Myrtle Waves passes: when the 7-day or season pass makes sense
Weeklong Daily Pass
$84.99 7 consecutive days + taxFor an over-48-inch guest, two current $49.99 online day tickets total $99.98 before tax. The weeklong pass is already $14.99 lower before tax if you know you will visit twice during that seven-day window.
Splash Pass
$129.99 Plus taxIncludes 2026 Myrtle Waves admission plus published passholder perks such as guest savings, three bring-a-friend opportunities, retail, cabana and food discounts, early entry and free parking.
Race and Splash Pass
$274.98 Plus taxCombines Myrtle Waves with a Broadway Grand Prix season pass that includes eligible go-karts, kids rides, bumper cars and mini golf.
Admission-only math families should do before buying
A Splash Pass at $129.99 does not make sense purely for one general-admission day.
On admission alone, two current online over-48-inch day tickets still cost less than the $129.99 Splash Pass.
By the third current-price over-48-inch online visit, the $129.99 Splash Pass becomes cheaper on admission alone before tax.
Myrtle Waves Water Park hours: check the date, not just the season
The park says Myrtle Waves is generally open from mid-May through mid-September. That is useful for rough vacation planning, but it is not enough for deciding what time to leave your hotel.
11 AM–5 PM
One of the operating-hour blocks shown on the official 2026 calendar.
10 AM–5 PM
Another published calendar block used on selected dates.
10 AM–6 PM
A longer full-day block that gives families more room for lunch and repeat rides.
10 AM–8 PM
Extended hours appear on selected dates. Do not assume every Friday or weekend has the same closing time.
Myrtle Waves Water Park photos and reviews: what they are useful for
Photos are most useful for understanding the layout, shade, stairs, slide scale and whether an attraction feels right for your family. The official attraction and cabana pages show park images, while Tripadvisor currently displays a large traveler-photo collection.
Some visitors specifically praise the number of activities and the ability to get through many attractions when lines are moving well.
Public reviews and the park layout both point to a mix of big slides, kids areas, wave pool and lazy river rather than one single ride style.
Some recent reviewers report cleanliness concerns. These are individual visitor reports, not independently verified operating conditions.
Refund and lightning complaints appear in public reviews. The official policy is clearer than the reviews: sales are final and there are no rain checks.
Myrtle Waves height requirements: measure kids before promising a ride
The admission threshold and the slide threshold are not the same thing. A child can qualify for one ticket category and still be too short for several attractions.
14 named Myrtle Waves attraction areas to know before you go
The park describes itself as having 22 slides and attractions. Several named attractions contain multiple slide lanes or individual slides, so the number of named attraction areas is smaller than the total slide-and-attraction count.
Riptide Rockets
Open-flume body speed slide for single riders. Minimum 42 inches.
Super Chute
Enclosed body slide with a short vertical drop into deeper water. Minimum 42 inches.
Thunderbolt Speed Slides
Two parallel body speed slides ending in a shallow catch pool.
Turbo Twisters
Three enclosed dark speed slides with a more intense ride feel.
Rockin’ Ray
Double-tube half-pipe ride. Minimum 48 inches and 400-pound combined limit.
Arooba Tooba

Myrtle Waves with toddlers, younger kids, teens and non-riders
Make Bubble Bay the base
Bubble Bay is reserved for children 45 inches and under and has shallow water ranging from roughly six to eighteen inches.
Use Saturation Station
Three open body slides and an interactive play structure give smaller guests something more active without joining the full-size slide circuit.
Start with the height-dependent rides
Rockin’ Ray, Turbo Twisters, Arooba Tooba, Snake Mountain, Wild Water Racer and FlowRider are more likely to drive the teen itinerary.
Plan comfort, not just rides
Shade, seating, a cabana, food access and the family meeting point matter more than being parked beside the tallest slide tower.
Tsunami FlowRider: pay for it only if someone will use it repeatedly
Minimum height
42″The official FlowRider page lists a 42-inch minimum to boogie board.
Unlimited ride upgrade
$9.99The main ticket page currently lists the unlimited FlowRider upgrade at $9.99 + tax.
Stand-up riding
The official page says stand-up board use is available when the FlowRider is privately rented rather than through the normal boogie-board operation.
Myrtle Waves cabanas: current price ranges and who benefits most

Have tickets ready, sunscreen on, water bottles packed correctly and every child measured before you reach the gate.
Locker + meeting point

Do one priority ride block

Regroup before splitting again
Meet, hydrate and decide whether the next hour is slides, FlowRider, lazy river, wave pool or food.
How to plan a Myrtle Waves Water Park visit
Check the exact operating calendar
Confirm your visit date is open and note that day’s closing time. This controls whether a twilight ticket makes sense.
Compare full-day, twilight and weeklong admission
Do not automatically buy a regular day ticket if you are staying a week or only have three hours available.
Check military, senior, group or passholder pricing
Use verified eligibility-based savings before spending time searching generic coupon sites.
Measure every child who wants the slides
Most slides use a 42-inch minimum, while Rockin’ Ray uses 48 inches and Bubble Bay is reserved for children 45 inches and under.
Decide how lunch and valuables will work
Outside food stays outside the park, one water bottle per person is allowed, a picnic area is available outside, and lockers can hold valuables.
Choose a family meeting point
Show younger children Guest Services and agree where everyone meets after separate ride blocks.
Check Myrtle Beach weather again
Lightning can stop attractions and all ticket sales are final with no rain checks. Use a flexible vacation day when the forecast is poor.
