Tacoma, WA Tourist Attraction

Fantastic place to bring kids! Great piece of Tacoma history. I love the Craft Saturdays with take home crafts!

i always enjoy talking to the curator. do not take pictures of the manuscripts

The other night, there were pinks and purples glistening on the water. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen I wish I would have caught it on camera. This was th ... more

My 5yr old son and I spent a few hours here today in this beautiful-sunny weather, playing with all the other families. This new play area is top notch!!! What an improv ... more

Well kept. Parking can be tight if there are lots of games.

The grass needs to be cut, and there was massive amounts of mud and over flooded areas. Maybe in the summer when there isnt so much moisture. But not a good field for soc ... more

Loved everything, except for the BATHROOMS! they are absolutely disgusting.

Good place to read, or eat lunch. Gets a bit loud when the kids get off school, if that bothers you.

Good place for. Family

Playground: Good place

Actually just use this for the dog park as no one else ever seems to be there.

Who named this place? Dog-friendliness: Great place to walk your dog.

Fun spot for a walk with the kids!

Not much of a view because of trees. And has been mentioned in multiple other reviews, there is a lot of garbage.

Radical!

This tree is by far the largest Ive seen in the Tacoma area. If you walk down the dirt path along the cliff side youll see many more giants just like this tucked away

Very interesting history that is slowly going to waste. Too bad that its not being restored. You cant go into it which would be worth a price for admission. Hope someone ... more

Went there to walk and enjoy sitting by the water. Relaxing and peaceful.

Great place to have fun with the kids on top of the hill in Tacoma. Just know that the park is closed during the school hours though. They renovated the playground early ... more

Young slender dude in there was super helpful. Told me about the different types of glasses in great detail even after I said I was going to wait for the sale on 4/20. Th ... more

Nice walk. Just kind enough to feel like you are benefiting health wise but not so long you'd not do it again. Wish there were more benches and picnic tables/ areas and p ... more

Picnic area: Yes I believe so.

Nice park they also do alot of educational work for community. School tours, fun eventd.

This place is always crowded, but if you go early in the morning, this place is good for a jog and roller blading

Walking pass it

great place for kids to hangout

Quiet, secluded and nice trail to walk around the pond!!

Quiet while I was there at least at the entrance I was at. I didn't stop at the entrance off of 78th due to the people crowded around in and outside of the sketchy lookin ... more

Staff was very knowledgeable about their collection that is tied to local history and how it fit into the regional, national and world history. Enjoyed the visit!

Playground: 5

Nice job Tacoma!

Very quiet park

Nice and clean, but the restroom is close. Overall GOOD

Visited the fort with grandkids on a lovely EARLY spring day; and they all three seemed to truly enjoy the fort (ages 7, 12, and 15). It's a very laid-back experience but ... more

Great experience

Absolutely stunning!!!

Trail that runs along creek is unwalkable with dogs. There was a ton of broken glass all over several sections of the walking trail and on the adjacent singletrack too. A ... more

Fun and interesting museum!

We comr here a few times a month and always see something new. Much appreciation ans gratitude to all the volunteers and Tacoma Park Service for the hard work.

I was surprised by how much they had in their exhibits. Very interesting and well worth a visit.

Restrooms: Restrooms are at the far west side of the park along the walking path. Dog-friendliness: We came across several people walking with their dogs on leashes, just ... more

Historic, large, well kept park with gorgeous old trees of many species, plenty of picnic tables, a play and spray ground and a conservatory stuffed with exotic plants. F ... more

Beautiful place, but the gates are never open. So, you gotta park at a warehouse and hope an employee doesn't have your car towed. There's a serious trash problem and onl ... more

Beautiful place around the holidays for photos!

Don't bring your children here! Needles aluminum foil or drug paraphernalia

Small, beautiful lighthouse park. Limited parking.

Sweet views. Road closed near beach access. Accessible on foot or bike.

Went to visit my grandson who is the Army. We loved visiting this museum! Good for all ages!

Great field trip. Small museum.
