If you are looking for a weekend away, start with a hotel or bed & breakfast.

Where to Spend your Anniversary

After getting settled in your hotel or B&B, it’s time to explore what the city has to offer for your romantic getaway! If you’re an art buff, the Tacoma Art Museum and the Museum of Glass are great places to spend the afternoon while enjoying each other’s company before a night out on the town.

The Tacoma Art Museum opened to the public in 2003 and is located next to Union Station. As a popular spot for a cultural experience, the Tacoma Art Museum offers various exhibitions, an art classroom, art studio and a resource center. It would be easy for you and your significant other to get lost in the extensive collection together.

Perhaps you both have an interest in live glassmaking. The Museum of Glass provides a truly unique experience for those who have never seen glassmaking. As a center for the glass art movement, the Museum of Glass offers diverse education programs, a hands-on art studio and the Hot Shop. You can find the Museum of Glass by the stainless steel cone that serves as a beacon to this great site.

During the evening hours, Downtown Tacoma is home to three theaters-the Pantages, the Rialto, and the Theater on the Square. Enjoy a night filled with shows and performances from some of the biggest names in the country. You’ll experience something spectacular in one of these great theaters!
