As one of Myrtle Beach's newest attractions, Freestyle Music Park is offering excellent deals on admission tickets and dining options, making this attraction particularly affordable to families on a budget.
During its first full summer season (going on now through September 2009), Freestyle Music Park, offers at least one full day and night's worth of fun and entertainment - all packed into a 50-acre amusement park. In time for Summer 2010, the park will undergo additional expansion, and will offer an even broader selection of rides, shows and attractions.
Freestyle Music Park offers something for everyone. There are several hardcore thrill rides and coasters suitable for teens and adults, but also plenty of rides and shows that younger kids will enjoy. In fact, for kids, there's a whole section of the park, called "Kids In America," which includes over a dozens rides and attractions, plus the up-beat "Flip 5 Live!" music, singing and dancing show.
Teens and adults will find more thrill-oriented rides and attractions within the park's other areas, which include "VIP Plaza," "Country USA," "Across The Pond" and "Myrtle's Beach." During the peak summer months, the park is open daily, from 11:00am until 10:00pm. A flat fee admission ticket offers unlimited rides and admission to the shows and attractions. Food is extra, but very affordable.
Apple iPhone users should be sure to download the free, interactive Freestyle Music Park application from the App Store. This application offers an interactive map of the park, plus information about each ride, show and attraction, show schedules, and other tools for planning and experiencing the best possible day/evening at the park.
If you'll be visiting Myrtle Beach for a week or more and want to spend several days at the park, consider buying annual passes, priced at $64.95 (adults) and $39.95 (kids) each. However, for one day admission, two people can enter the park before 4pm for just $19.99. After 4pm, the single day ticket price is $19.99 per person. This special promo rate is only valid during the 2009 summer season. Visit the park's website for details, to purchase admission tickets online, or to learn about other special promotions and events happening at the park - www.freestylemusicpark.com.
Every evening after dark, be sure to catch the "Kiss the Sky" fireworks show. It's a 7.5-minute pyrotechnic presentation that's very impressive. During the day and evening, guys (ages 6 to 18) will enjoy the "Adrenaline Rush" show. It features a live showcase of extreme sports. Kids will love the up-beat "Flip 5 Live!" show. Adults will appreciate the "CSI: Live" show (based on the TV series), as well as "Ice Cold Country" ice skating/music show.
When visiting any outdoor attraction or theme park, be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Wear comfortable shoes (there's plenty of walking involved), and drink plenty of water, especially on hot and sunny days when the Myrtle Beach heat is intense.
Considering 2009 marks Freestyle Music Park's debut season, the park is very impressive and offers an excellent value. It's well worth visiting if you're in the Myrtle Beach area.

Need to Relax?
Visit Hibiscus Spa at the Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
After really enjoying my visit to Freestyle Music Park, I returned to my hotel (The Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes), and experienced an absolutely incredible 80-minute signature Hibiscus massage, followed by a "Gentleman's Facial." Talk about getting pampered! The spa visit was amazing! I am so relaxed, I can barely type right now.
The Hibiscus Spa (843-449-8880), which is located within the resort, is a full-service and lavish day spa. It offers a vast menu of massages, facials, body treatments, nail treatments, waxing and other treatments, along with the amenities and extras you'd expect from an upscale spa (including comfortable and clean locker rooms, steam rooms, saunas, etc.).
In addition to specialized treatments for adult men and women, The Hibiscus Spa also offers specialized massages, facials, body treatments and make-up lessons for teens, plus lavish spa packages for adults. The service here is top-notch and extremely professional, which makes it that much easier to indulge, let go, relax and allow yourself to be pampered.
What I liked best and appreciated the most about my treatment at this spa was that the therapists paid careful attention to my specific needs. While most massage therapists will go through their pre-choreographed 60, 90 or 120 minute massage routine, and they won't deviate from it, my massage therapist at The Hibiscus Spa discovered exactly where I held my stress (my lower back and between my shoulders), and then spent time focusing in on those specific areas in order to relieve the tension that those specific areas held using a variety of different massage techniques. Without being told, he found my most stress filled areas and catered to them, which demonstrates her skill and training as a massage therapist, plus her dedication to each client,
Whether you're staying at the Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes or not, if you're looking for an awesome spa experience that's well worth the fees charged, I highly recommend visiting The Hibiscus Spa. It's conveniently located at 8400 Costa Verde Drive in Myrtle Beach.
