Things to do for Mother’s Day in Myrtle Beach: Menus and Events

Sea Captain’s House in Myrtle Beach is offering a delicious Mother’s Day brunch menu with an ocean view. The buffet includes an omelette station, pancakes, apple streusel, sliced ham, bacon, sausage, roasted beef tenderloin and a selection of fresh fruits and salads. Drink specials include $5 Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas. Brunch is $25.99 for adults and $11.99 for children. The regular Sea Captain’s House menu will also be available. 

Join Ripley’s Aquarium for the Mom & Me Beaks and Brushes event on Saturday, May 7. Create a masterpiece painting together while enjoying the sea life at Ripley’s Aquarium, including the adorable penguins. Ticket includes aquarium admission, a “Mom”-mosa beverage, appetizers, flower for mom, and art supplies.

Note: Beaks and Brushes is not a penguin experience. You may view the penguins in their playhouse when you explore the aquarium. 

Give Mom a bird’s eye view of the oceanfront from the Myrtle Beach Skywheel located on the Boardwalk in the heart of the city. Not your typical ferris wheel, the Skywheel rises 187 feet into the air and features climate-controlled enclosed gondolas for an enjoyable ride no matter the temperature. The Skywheel is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Mother’s Day. 

Visit River Island Adventures for a unique outdoor adventure with Mom. Take it easy with a kayak tour on the river, or up the ante with the Escape River Island challenge, a Survivor-inspired game where participants compete to escape a secluded island. River Island Adventure offers an acre of outdoor fun complete with tree swings, yard games, a fire pit, picnic tables and more. Camping and “glamping” options are available. 

Brookgreen Gardens offers an idyllic setting for a relaxing day with Mom on Mother’s Day. Stroll through the gardens, which are full of spring blooms, snap a picture with Mom, and grab a bite to eat all in this 9,000+-acre gem just south of Myrtle Beach. The Lowcountry Zoo features a variety of native animals, including one very hardworking mom. John was recently joined on exhibit by her five otter pups. Watch them swim and play daily at the zoo. 

Treat Mom to a wine tasting at the fun and friendly Duplin Winery at Broadway at the Beach. Duplin is a laid-back winery offering a variety of sweet Southern muscadine wines. Wine tastings include 10 samples, which your host will walk you through, explaining the flavors and history of each wine. For $15, you can upgrade to a deluxe tasting, which includes gourmet cheese dip, crackers, and a full glass of wine after the tasting. Duplin often has live music on the patio, a perfect spot to unwind with Mom. 

Think outside the box, and take Mom on an unforgettable journey for Mother’s Day. Myrtle Beach Dolphin Cruises leave daily from Little River on the Sea Screamer and Sea Thunder tour boats. The two-hour tours are hosted by experienced crew members, who will narrate your journey through the Intracoastal Waterway and out into the ocean where cruisers will look for dolphins.
