Sehmel Park is whehreI take Tai-Chi classes. There are many trails for hiking and dogs, several lplaygrounds and ball fields for sports and in the summer, I believe there may be snacks for the games. Easy parking and a really beautiful location and facility. Huge area for recreation of all sorts.

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.

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!

I live near the trail and frequently utilize it. It's not heavily traveled and users are careful about mask wearing.
5. 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.

We visited the farmers market and the Skanski Net sheds. Interesting history of the area and of the early people. They are certainly welcoming to tourists!

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.
