So glad we took the time to head down to Tacoma to complete these rooms!…read more We have done over 50 rooms at this point - just my wife and I completed all four in a weeks' time - here are our thoughts The Cure The first of the rooms here. Not linear at all, lots to do and look at. The final puzzle was one I was very familiar with so I knew what I was looking for and how to solve - had that not been the case we would not have escaped as we did it with a mere 54 seconds remaining. I think this room could use 3-4 people, especially if they are newer to escape rooms. Enjoyed the immersion, some of the puzzles weren't our favorite as they weren't real clear on what to do, but the room is solid. The Sorcerer's Rescue Another big room with lots of things to do. Definitely recommend four people even if seasoned...there's just a lot to do here, we needed two extra minutes. The hardest of the rooms offered currently. Immersion is great, if wizards and potions and pixies are your thing you'll love this room. The Estate They said Condemned was the easiest, I felt it was The Estate, but I also guess that depends on your strengths. The estate was a pretty straightforward escape room, very linear but in a way that two people can work together rather one sitting while other doing all the work. These are the rooms we work best on and really enjoyed working through this room quickly. Escaped with about 27 minutes left. The Condemned This is my favorite room. Like of all the rooms we have done, and we have done two top award winning rooms in Seattle and LA. I wish I could forget about it and do it again. I have recommended it to no less than a dozen people since doing it. Creepy, spooky, make me scream rooms are right up my alley. So much fun. We have done a lot of scary rooms and this had the *right* amount of terror so you could still focus. Escaped with a little over 18 min left and had so much fun doing so. All in all we had a blast. There is something for everyone here. Linear and non-linear. Scary and mild. Fantasy and reality. Also, I forgot to mention, the staff get into character with you to really set the scene. With everywhere opening escape rooms that is a little touch that is being missed. It really sets the scene and gets the room started right. THANK YOU so much to the staff at Enigma - and know as soon as you launch a new room we will be right back down there.

We signed up for Rockstar! The location was kind of odd the way we came in, but the GM got us…read morequickly and we started right on time. The space is clean, and the items in the escape room also felt relatively clean, all things I like. The GM was an excellent GM. there was a finicky lock but because he was paying attention he could immediately confirm the code and give instructions (ie "pull harder") and we didn't waste time. He also tracked where we put everything we used, which was excellent. The room had a lot of fun lights and mechanisms, and it was really fun! I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Trained SSEA volunteers go to Priest Point Park, Burfoot County Park, Tolmie State Park, and Frye Cove during low tide to educate the public about the creatures that live on the beach.

Beach Naturalist Schedule for 2013: http://sseacenter.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/2013-bn-flyer-final-11x14.pdf Another program I am a big fan of is Pier Peer: Nighttime underwater viewing of south sound marine life. This takes place at Boston Harbor Marina on the 1st Saturday of the month. It is so popular you have to register to secure your spot. Children 6-11 are free and it is $10 for adults. This was a great activity for me because I used to live very close to Boston Harbor Marina. Register at sseacenter.wordpress.com/pier-peer I have lots of love for SSEA. They are also going to have an Estuarium (a marine life discovery center) opening sometime in July.

What a wonderful little park, nestled into the neighborhood - a great place to take the family…read more I happened upon this little gem a number of years ago when my wife was at an appointment and I needed to "kill" some time with the kids. I searched for nearby parks and this one popped up. I am super glad that we went there, as we have been back countless times!! They have a good selection of play equipment for a variety of ages and kinesthetic movements (slides, climbing toys, a large spinning toy, monkey bars, balance beams, and swings). The centerpiece of the play area is a large lions mountain-type slide. The kids have to literally climb up the "rock side" to get to the top. Granted, that's a wee bit challenging for some of the youngsters, and their adults may need to help boost them up and spot them from underneath. But the pay-off is great! A good view from the top and a tall, long, straight slide down!! There also is an animal footprint rock path that is pretty cool. Each rock (they're low to the ground and pretty flat so it's safe) has the footprinted imprinted on them and go in a large "S-shape." Good for balance and for identifying wildlife. Additionally, there are basketball hoops, tennis courts, and a walking path. There is a fair amount of picnic tables available - including a covered pavilion that can be rented out for parties. New in the last year or so is a water feature where kiddos (and adults) can cool off in the hot summer days. Lastly, there's a huge open field for just general running and plays and games. The biggest challenge that we've found is the "Lion Hunt." Supposedly (according to the sign by the playground) there are 11 Lions hidden around the park. Some are statues, some are carvings, etc. So far, after much looking, we've only found like 4 of them! Hmm? You'll have to check it out ... a great park, in a safe neighborhood, with lots to do. You can't go wrong!

I have seen 68 on the bus stop stickers however know nothing about that bus because I never use it. The park opens up off of Ruddle Rd with a nice walkway. There is a small pond like yet cleaner water way immediately on your left as you stroll through the opening of the park. Some water fowl eagerly await to greet the average walker. Did I say eagerly awaiting water fowl and average walker?? Well look out!! Some of those water fowl are protecting THEIR home so be ready to hustle your bustle ye average walker!! If not, you just might get pecked and encouraged by a fowl or two to step firmly and quickly away from them and walk on your way through the park. After all, some of nature's joys are best observed in their own habitats. The park is large and kept clean. It certainly is its own invitation to frequent this wonderful nest for animals and humans alike. There are restrooms, kept clean and an area where you can get poo bags for "Fido" in case you need them. The grass is so green and plush. Kept nice, mowed and trimmed. Lots of places to kick a ball around. Trees are blooming so for me, that means another trip to this wonderful park!! I am curious to smell what I have yet to see.

Luckily it was one of the few days of sunshine and good weather in WA, so I could enjoy laying in the grass. There is something here for everyone. BBQ grills, rugby/soccer fields, baseball/softball fields, basketball courts, trails, doggie doo bags, public restrooms, sand volleyball courts, tennis courts, picnic shelters, child & toddler playgrounds and a skate park. It's very well kept and still looks brand new even though it's been around since 2004 I believe. Check this place out before summer is over.

So after my first review, Fengie O. came to the rescue regarding the disappointment I originally…read morefelt about Bigelow Park. Thanks to her kind instructions, I found that I had gone to the wrong park. I actually visited a small patch of land next to someone's house and thought that was the park. I was obviously off my meds that day. Anyway, this park is major cute and nice for the kids or if you wanted to grill out. The amount of space between the grill stations is sufficient enough to not make you feel like you're encroaching on someone else's territory. There is also a decent amount of kids equipment. It all looks pretty safe and there is even a single basketball net on the half court. The park is surrounded by huge trees that in a way hide the grounds and provide ample shade. There are also unisex restrooms on site and doogy doo bags for life's little messes. It's definitely a nice park now that I actually went to the right one. Thanks Fengie.

The equipment is appropriate for children 12 months old to 11 years old. Some children who have limited mobility can enjoy the play structures. The wide stairs are set near the ground so children can transfer out of wheelchairs and climb into parts of each structure. My oldest kid will play football with her friends, but my 2 year old likes to hide in the tube connected to the small play structure and scream! In addition to the 2 play structures, there are also two spinning toys. One is shaped like a cup. Kids sit in it and spin around. The other is a pole with a platform. 2 children get on the platform and spin each other. There are swings for babies and for older children. The swings for the older children are set near the basketball court. The swings for the younger children are closer to the main play area. A tire swing is attached to the large play structure. The park is surrounded by a grassy area. It's fun to play soccer or football. Keep in mind the area is not fenced. One of the grassy sides of the park is right next to a moderately busy road. It's good to keep an eye on younger children. The parking area is a decent size. I've seen 6 minivans parked with room to spare. There are also at least 2 large handicap parking spaces. The bathrooms are a decent size. There is a drinking fountain, a covered area for picnicking and a few picnic tables. If all the picnic tables are taken, it's a lovely place to lay a blanket down and have a sit down picnic.
