You may enter the castle – with a few restrictions. You’ll be temperature screened when you get there, and Her Majesty insists you wear a mask in her castle.

This medieval tournament and show feature a delicious dinner, too.
Skywheel
A ride on this Myrtle Beach icon is calm and breathtaking. The staff is cleaning to ensure a safe experience for all, so the wait might be a little longer than usual.
