I caught myself staring at them during the intermission for The Nutcracker ballet show. the show is something else for me to review, so I will not do that her because this one is meant specifically for the location. as beautiful and grand that it was, I just disliked that the staff was not taking initiative to help with directions. you had to go up to them, and even with the directions that they provided, the reference points that they used were still unclear. I feel like the staff also could have done a better job of outlining how the show will go because they did not make clear of the intermission and how long it would be. they also did a horrible job with seating people because they moved so slow and got in the way of viewers who were watching the show. Not much social awareness from them :/ Location does a good job of running thru what they expect before you come on for your show so that you could logistically plan. lots of parking after 1800 or 6PM because no more law enforcement for street parking. also, the lights that just twinkle in front of the location make it such an awe to look at. I have not been here during daytime, but I bet you that it is better in the nighttime

I missed it last year, now, we might end up coming here every year!

To help soften the blow, they have lowered admission price in the interim. The hot shop is also still open and you can watch live glass making there. There are a few exhibit cases on view. There are lots of fun works that kids' designed that are also on view on the main lobby and down the hall. We went for a glass making class, which was tons of fun. I'm sure attendance varies widely - ours was not crowded. The person monitoring the class, Audrey, was friendly; she explains everything and then you have at it. She is there to help, which includes cutting glass pieces to suit whatever design you are making (this probably depends on the style of glass you are making). FYI the gift shop is really nice and is available even if you don't go into the museum. You can purchase works by glass artists who have been at the museum - so it's more than your average gift shop.

We stopped by here before a flight, please allow for 1 1/2 hours to explore this small museum. It could be longer if you want to watch the glass artists create a piece from beginning to end. We really enjoyed watching the artists create! Parking is in a lot below the museum, there is a pay station. We took the stairs up to the main museum and then walked the bridge above the museum that leads to downtown Tacoma. I found the glass artists create displayed beautiful.

Post office is also on the first floor. Love the old fashioned mail boxes and other lovely wood and metal design elements that are still in place. The buildings also has rooms for events. It's a little tricky going upstairs - there are stairs and an elevator on both sides; however, in at least one instance, if you go up the stairs on wrong side you will find yourself locked out of the main hallway to that floor. I think the safe bet is the left side stairs/elevator. Charming. With ample parking nearby. Paid and unpaid.

The visuals and music are on another level. My wife and I were completely absorbed from start to finish. The message it carries feels relevant right now, and the whole experience gives you a real mental break from the noise of daily life. One practical tip: spring for the VIP seating. The difference in your sightline is worth it. Highly recommend.

This is like a 3-D movie experience in a planetarium where you feel like you are traveling in space! It's incredible. The Pink Floyd show was as trippy as you'd expect. Loved it so much I returned to see and experience the Queen show as a date night with hubby. He LOVED this!! The seats are reclined and comfortable, but not quite as reclined as the modern movie theaters. The Queen show was great, but the music wasn't from the Best Of Queen so I only recognized about 3 songs. Hubby loved being exposed to new music he didn't recognize from Queen. I'm excited to return again and see more shows! Lovely campus, the Planetarium is inside their Science area where large plants grow, similar to a solarium. It's gorgeous! Excellent date spot that is private, cozy, and beautiful scenery and cheaper than the movies. Can't wait to go back!

The interior is high ceilings within open rafters (cedar, I think) reminded me of the inside of a large ski lodge. The coolest part is downstairs - - the classic car collection is very cool. We enjoyed taking pictures standing in front of all the cars. Attended a wedding and reception here. We enjoyed the upstairs and downstairs, but unfortunately it's not ADA friendly, so none of the elderly guests were able to go downstairs where are the classic cars are displayed. Beautiful hardwood floors were great for the dance floor and the reception/dinner. The catering was not good :( but possibly they use an outside vendor(s) for the food?
