MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - 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 their 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.
“We love showing off our Southern hospitality here at WonderWorks, so these spring appreciation events are always a blast,” said Kaitlin Barnes, sales manager at WonderWorks Myrtle Beach. “From teachers to nurses to armed forces members, all of these hard workers make a difference every day. We’re thrilled to honor them!”
Through several special events and offers, WonderWorks Myrtle Beach will be celebrating community spirit and spreading appreciation during the month of May 2026. They are inviting teachers, nurses, and military members 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 watch for and get in on include:
- Teacher Appreciation Days – Runs throughout 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.
