Appreciation Events Are Blooming at WonderWorks Myrtle Beach This May
The month of May is a special time for three unique industries, with nationwide celebrations for professions that collectively touch millions of lives around the country. These celebrations include Teacher Appreciation Week, National Nurses Week, and Armed Forces Week. To show our support and appreciation for all those working in these important careers, WonderWorks Myrtle Beach is putting each of them in the spotlight with special admission offers during select dates in May!
Through several special events and offers, WonderWorks is celebrating community spirit and spreading appreciation. Local teachers, nurses, and military members are invited to let loose and experience the wonder of the iconic upside-down laboratory! This attraction is the perfect place for people of all ages to have educational fun and make memories together this spring.
The three special spotlight celebrations to get in on include:
Teacher Appreciation Days – All of May 2026
WonderWorks proudly works with teachers all year long, offering educational resources, field trip opportunities, and more for local students. All North and South Carolina teachers and education support staff are invited to register for free admission to explore the upside-down house as they celebrate the end of another amazing school year. Up to four guests can also receive 50% off their admission tickets. Private and public school teachers/staff in North and South Carolina are eligible to register online for the discount voucher, which must be printed and presented at the admissions desk to redeem, along with proper school ID or a pay stub.
National Nurses Week – May 6-12, 2026
This special week kicks off on National Nurses Day, celebrating those who are the heartbeat of the country’s healthcare. Those in the nursing field are invited to snag free All Access admission tickets at the door during National Nurses Week. Others in their group will also receive the special discounted admission rate of only $10 +tax each. This event is open to all nursing specialties. Employee ID must be presented at the door to redeem the offer. We’re also advocating for the Nursing Is STEM coalition all week long, helping to spread information on the many reasons nursing should be designated as a STEM field across all agencies and illuminating the building in blue.
Armed Forces Week – May 9-16, 2026
This nationally recognized week leads up to Armed Forces Day, celebrating the millions of people in the U.S. military branches serving worldwide. WonderWorks Myrtle Beach is saluting and honoring all those who serve and have served, as we invite active duty and retired military personnel to receive a free All Access admission ticket at the door during Armed Forces Week. Their guests attending with them will also each receive $3 off their admission ticket. Military ID must be shown at the door during the event dates to redeem the offer.
We love showing appreciation to different types of professionals each spring, so May is sure to be a fantastic month here in the upside-down house! Thank you, teachers, nurses, and armed forces members, for everything you do.
