Myrtle Beach Airport (MYR) with Kids: Every Family Facility, Mapped

MYR does not publish one. Its terminal information, accessibility and Quiet Room pages make no mention of a children's play area, so we have marked it unconfirmed rather than absent. Plan to bring your own activities for the wait. MYR lists a Hudson News on the second floor of Concourses A and B if you want to pick up a book for the wait. If your child needs a calmer space, the Quiet Room in baggage claim is open to all travellers.

MYR lists three private nursing spaces. There is a Nursing Mothers' Room in Terminal A across from Pizza Hyena and another in Concourse B across from Gates B5 and B6, and MYR describes its mother's rooms as having comfortable seating, outlets and sinks. There is also a Mamava Lactation Suite in baggage claim between Doors 5 and 6, which you unlock with the Mamava app or by calling the airport communications center. MYR says it offers private nursing spaces both before and after security.

Yes. MYR's Quiet Room, Room 171 in the Baggage Claim area, was designed for passengers with special needs to de-stress and is now open to any traveller who needs a place to relax and recharge. It is not intended for sleeping. The Champion Autism Network has praised it. To find it, head toward Baggage Claim from arrivals and look for Room 171, or call (843) 839-7372 or ask an Airport Ambassador for help. MYR does not publish opening hours. Baggage claim is on the lower level of the terminal.

MYR does not mention family or companion restrooms. It lists accessible restrooms on levels 1 and 2 of the terminal and in the car rental building. Its 2025 restroom renovation in Concourses A and B added touchless fixtures, more space and adult changing tables for caregivers of passengers with special needs. MYR does not say where baby changing tables are, so if you need one, ask an Airport Ambassador or use one of the nursing rooms as a quieter alternative.

MYR's TSA checkpoint opens daily at 4:00 a.m. and stays open until check-in closes for the last departing flight. If your evening flight is delayed, confirm the closing time with airline staff. MYR's security page passes on TSA's advice to arrive 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights, and says most TSA PreCheck passengers wait five minutes or less. PreCheck enrolment is handled by TSA, so apply well before your trip if you want the faster lane.

Yes. MYR says medications, baby formula, food, breast milk and juice are allowed in reasonable quantities over 3.4 ounces and do not need to go in the zip-top bag, but you must declare them for inspection at the checkpoint. TSA adds that ice packs and gel packs used to keep formula or breast milk cool are allowed in carry-on bags. Tell the officer at the start of screening and take these items out so they can be screened separately. Pack these items where you can reach them quickly.

TSA rules apply. Strollers, umbrella strollers, baby carriers, car and booster seats and backpacks go through the X-ray machine. Take your child out of the stroller and carry them through the walk-through metal detector. Children 12 and under can keep their shoes, light jackets and headwear on. MYR publishes no stroller rental and no stroller policy of its own, so check gate-check rules with your airline, and allow a little extra time on busy summer weekends. Bring your own stroller if your child needs one.

MYR's TSA and security page does not mention a family lane, so we have marked it unconfirmed. MYR says most PreCheck passengers wait five minutes or less. If you are travelling with a child who has a disability or medical condition, TSA's passenger support services can help, and MYR's Quiet Room in baggage claim was built with passengers with special needs in mind. Ask staff if you need extra help.

MYR's dining page lists Chick-fil-A, Steak 'n Shake, Pizza Hyena, Subway, Starbucks, Nacho Hippo Cantina Maxima and Pavilion Bar & Grill, among others. It does not publish kids' menus, high chairs or exact locations, so check the terminal map. Pizza Hyena is a handy landmark because the Terminal A Nursing Mothers' Room is directly across from it. For quick, familiar food before a flight, Chick-fil-A and Steak 'n Shake are the obvious picks for most kids. MYR does not publish bottle-warming help at any outlet.
