Things To Do

McMenamins Elks Temple (Bar and Food)

Although geared more towards adults, this fun location offers several unique bar/grills on different floors, our favorite being the Tiki Lounge on the bottom floor called "The Old Hangout" floor and even a speakeasy if you can find it

Museum of Glass

Point Ruston (Waterfront Location)

Waterfront views, a daily farmers market, a movie theater, and good eats

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Visit the Zoo or bypass it and stop by the beach!

Vashon Island (Ferry to a small Island town)

Take a Ferry for a scenic tour to Vashon Island, stop at a small cafe or visit the Vashon Troll

Tacoma Dome

Depending on the length of your visit, there may be fun events happening at the Dome! Otherwise, its a unique sight right off I-5

Stadium High School

The iconic high school featured in the movie "10 Things I Hate About You" is a breathtaking historic location with a lot of stories to tell! Although this is still an active school, it is worth a visit in the evening or weekends, and may even have a ghost tour during your stay

LeMay - America’s Car Museum

If you like cool cars this is a neat spot! It houses the 2007 Mustang that was Barricade in the Transformers film as a part of its collection.

Pike Place Market (Seattle)

Get some Mac and Cheese at Beechers, buy an affordable bouquet of fresh flowers, visit the icky sticky gum wall (dont forget to bring some to add!) and take in the waterfront views of Seattle. If you like italian food, consider visiting "pink door"...if you can find it

Elegant Octopus Games

Very cool game store for board games, used and new trading cards (Pokemon, Magic the Gathering) & video games. Great spot to check out if you're looking for collectables of the nerd variety.
