Polar bears high five at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. Bring the family for a fun-filled day where you can get nose to nose with a giraffe, cagey with a wild cat, high five a polar bear and even ride atop a camel. Dive deeper into nature when you find exhibits and attractions like the 24,000-gallon Lagoon swimming with sharks, octopus and all kinds of sea creatures.
Take a different path for a night of entertainment and head over to the Emerald Queen Casino & Hotel in Tacoma. Sure there's plenty of gambling to be had but the real fun begins when you get your ticket to live musical entertainment to see greats like Vince Gill and the Commodores.
There's a lot of kidding around going on at the Children's Museum of Tacoma. Kids can build new digs, design, build and play with building blocks, and explore painting through tons of fun and challenging, interactive exhibits and attractions. There's a world of fun waiting for kids to explore, discover and do!
