My favorite place to shop in Gig Harbor when I visit Washington. They carry the most exquisite items from Europe. My favorite of all being the Oleana line from Norway. The staff are all friendly and helpful making you feel right at home. A special thanks to Sarah who always goes out of her way to help you find the items that suit you, and special gifts for friends and family.

Escape Hour Gig Harbor is an exhilarating real life escape experience where you will be locked in and have to navigate and solve your way out of custom made elaborately designed rooms with friends or like minded individuals, and work together to escape. Your goal is to discover hidden clues, find secret codes, and navigate through maze like scenarios, and solve fun and sophisticated puzzles.

Today was our first escape room and it certainly won’t be our last! We did Curse of the Mayan Ruins and although we didn’t escape in time it was SO MUCH FUN!!! Our two teenage boys loved it and we had such a fun day together as a family. Our gamemaster was Jasmine and she was wonderful. She made our experience so fun! COVID-wise the folks at Escape Hour were great. They were very careful to sanitize things and wear masks. The rooms are thoroughly cleaned between visitors and it felt so clean and safe. By the way...the immersive experience in the escape room went above and beyond what I expected. The room was quite incredible and so, so creative! We can’t wait to come back!

We happened across this shop when we were driving around Gig Harbor. We stopped in and were pleasantly surprised by the selection. They had everything from Seahawk Christmas decorations, to tshirts and sweatshirts, and other trinkets and edible gifts. It is worth stopping in if you are in the area!
4. Galaxy Theatre Uptown
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 197 reviews
Reviewed By Kris_K_D - Gig Harbor, United States
The Galaxy Uptown is the cleanest and best theater in the area. Seats are reservable and are large recliners with small tables, and plenty of aisle space, so no seat kicking or jostling. There's also an IMAX screen. While seats in that theater are also reservable, they are not the super comfortable recliners. In fact, they are a bit too upright and stiff. Lastly, this theater serves alcohol (separate counter)! Prices, as one should expect at any movie theater concession stand, are significantly inflated. Tip: Fan of classic movies? Check out their Classic Movie Mondays at 10 a.m.

Kick back and enjoy the mellow atmosphere, the great free nuts, and excellent beer and cider. My husband loves the dark beers and I love the ciders on tap. You can come with non-drinkers, who can enjoy a variety of Kombuchas and bring your family! AND, bring food. It's a great place to meet up with friends.

Ocean5 is your year-round destination to hang out, play and connect! There's something for everyone. Check out 10 pin and Duckpin bowling on 22 lanes, a two-story Laser Challenge arena, high energy Arcade Game Room and full-service restaurant.

This was the company's first time having an event at Ocean5. AMAZING! So well staffed to be at your every need and the their staff were wonderfully fun and engaging. We had a taco bar, pizza bar, dessert bar, cheese/dried fruit/crackers bar and a wide variety of beverages including one mocktail - it was all you could eat and drink. At the end of the event we were able to take home the left over pizza and desserts - HURRAY! So much to be entertained with; bowling, duckling bowl, two story laser tag, arcade and nice seating area for conversation or playing provided board games. It was cool to have 80's music videos in the bowing and duckling bowling alley area. When we exited, Ocean5 gave each of us a little jar of yummy candy (mine was toffee) with a $10 coupon on my next visit.
