"My kids LOVE it!"
On one of our trips to Myrtle Beach, we visited the Ripley’s Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach and stumbled across MagiQuest. As my girls love fantasy, making up adventure games and Harry Potter, they were immediately intrigued. At home, they went online and learned all they could about this interactive role-playing game involving magical creatures and wizards. Both girls insisted that we had to return to Myrtle Beach so they could go on quests.
In the end, we decided that Camille could have a “destination birthday party” and took along three friends. All the kids had a fabulous time and insisted on going back for a second day.
When the girls heard we would be returning to Myrtle Beach once again, they brought along their wands, and on one chilly afternoon, we returned yet again. The girls picked their quests via the computer screens, ran around waving their wands at the appropriate places inside the “kingdom” and had lots of adventures.
MagiQuest is not for everybody. Kids who like fantasy games, though will likely love it! Chloe, age 8, had a bit of trouble with her wand not working which was frustrating, but mostly she was able to complete her quests on her own. Younger kids will likely need more assistance with picking out and completing quests. Thankfully, my girls were able to play unassisted while I sat quietly and relaxed.

"Fun time"
I'm grown and I love going to magiquest, LOL. You walk in and get to decide what you want to be and buy your wand and the pay for your time and once you are inside its basically an interactive video game. It DOES take multiple visits to be able to beat the game, I would say at least 8+ hours on a non crowded day, but well worth the money.

"You have to go here"
My husband and I are in our late twenties and the first time we went to magiquest was on a weekend trip down to myrtle. We had no idea what magiquest was but after paying for an hour to play we were hooked. We spent the whole weekend in there playing and came back within a couple of months just to play some more. We absolutely LOVE magiquest. Yes it would be fun with kids, but adults can have just as much fun playing. We actually beat the game and then started over again with new wands. You can also go out in the gift shop and do a duel with another person if you wanted. I just wish they had more options after defeating the dragon. This is like the best interactive video game attraction ever and I would recommend going here to anyone and everyone!!! Even if you don't like video games you will LOVE magiquest, it's like a treasure hunt!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

"Expensive, but worth it"
My son and husband really enjoyed this attraction - spent hours there. Just know that you only need to buy the basic wand, you get to keep it and you can personalize it yourself later at home. You can then use it again at any location, including those at Great Wolf Lodge locations.

"Its fun for a price"
Magiquest is indoors so a good pick for a rainy day - off ourse you will share wit everyone else. It is aimed at elemetry age kids and is essentially a fairytale adventure. The main draw back is the cost. Upon entering you need to purchase a wand (and if you like a bunchof extra gizmos - wandtoppers etc), time to play the game and of course there is a gift shop!
I suggest for parents with pre-K and under kids that you purchase one wand per adult as the kids won't be able to work the adventure for themselves - it requires some skill to flick the wand at the correct angle at the TV screens and objects. Once inside you have a lesson on using your wand and how to play the adventure. You are then free to explore and work through the story line much as you would a video game. There are numerous screens and objects that the kids "zap" with their wands to create the story and plenty of cheesy decorations which appeal to the kids. We also suggest random zapping as you run around the room - this gets you more "gold" which can be useful later one in the games play.
It was not crowded when we went but on busy days acess to certain "rooms" is likely to be limited and your time will dwindle very quickly. Even on the quiet day we were unable to complete our adventure.

This place is perfect for Harry Potter fans. You get to travel to different levels in the building on different quests. You are also able to buy a wand with various power levels that you are able to recgarge for a fee when your initial game time is up.

"Magiquest"
Out of all the attractions/beaches/restaurants we went to when we visited Myrtle Beach, Magiquest was our kids all time favorite. Magiquest is a little on the pricey side, but it is worth it, especially if you have older children who are into fantasy, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. I think I had as much fun as the kids did at Magiquest. Each of my older guys had wands and then my husband and I paired off with our two little ones to complete our quests. The kids still have their wands and play with them all the time. The kids still ask when we are going to go back to Magiquest.

"Definitely not for everyone"
This is an expensive habit to get started, and my guess is they are betting you'll buy all the junk and never play again. However, my kids really loved it - and we had a great time. You buy playing time, and once your time is up so is the magic. If you have a little boy like mine who loves magic, and myth (like Lord of the Rings!) they'll love Magiquest.

"Not for everyone"
My husband and I love going here. However it is not for everyone. It is better if the person can read and understand what they are reading. I would say it's best for ages 6/7 and up. It is also difficult if you are bringing a baby along as you cannot manuver a stroller around very well as it's a two story activity and I have seen no sign of an elevator. It would be more fun with out the little ones in tow. It is a little pricey at first because you have to invest in the wands that you also keep so they do act as a souvenier. However if you take your future trips on a weekday it is cheaper to play.

"Very pricey, not for all kids"
This is a neat idea for kids who are into magic or video games. However it is extremely expensive. Really only seems worth it if you were going to go many times, as you have to invest in a special wand and then pay to play. Also, it can be busy and dark. I would not recommend for kids to do by self until teen years.

"Magiquest"
This was a little pricey on our first trip because we had to invest in the wands but we have been back several times so we have definitely gotten our money's worth. After you buy your wand ($14 or $26 for wand + 75 minutes), you just pay for the time ($11/60 minutes) that you want to play. We could have stayed here for hours! It is like a giant scavenger hunt looking for fairies and fighting monsters with your wand. Super-cool!
