A great place for all of your shopping & entertainment. Much to explore here. Take a day and connect to point defiance. There is even a giant slide along the path.
Stop into the Ice Cream Social for the best vegan ice cream! Not vegan - go for the Valhalla Coffee or Salted caramel. SO GOOD! Wild Fin is great for drinks and nibbles. Jewelbox cafe is one of our fav spots for a crepe and bubble tea. There is an Epic mural of Washington next to Wild Fin and down the stairs. Great spot for a photo!

Our Gritty City Advice
Tacoma has so much fun art and beautiful views / nature. Our personal favs - Point Defiance / Five Mile Drive is a must to see and experience. Owens beach (picnic)
Museum of glass is also a must see. if you enjoy a mind bender, go explore Mcmenamins Elks temple and get some photos in opera alley. Wright Park is our favorite park! And you can also walk the pugt creek natural area and it will connect you to the waterfront. A beautiful hike through nature. Enjoy The Ram or Dukes before heading back. Fresh fish at NW Fish hut.
