Sunday
Northwest Native Celebration at the Tacoma Art Museum FREE and open to the public song, dance, and activities celebrating Native American culture. Note from SFM: The TAM now has a very nice art space on the main floor that kids can use-no museum admission required. My kids also really enjoy the new western art wing.
Tiptoe through the tidepools at Titlow Park Free, family event. Join naturalists to see creatures revealed by some of the first low tides of the season. I have more on diy tidepool exploration here.
Seasonal opening of the Foss Waterway Seaport Free clam chowder, family friendly activities, see the Tacoma fireboat. Included with admission. We always have a great time here. I will warn you that some of the exhibits are not meant to be touched, and they are mixed in with others that Are. Yeah-it’s confusing, and my kids get scolded every time we come here. Just roll with it.
Last weekend to see the special exhibit on area volcanoes, “Living in the Shadows,” at the Washington State History Museum volcano scavenger hunt today. If you plan ahead, you might be able to get a pass and go for free. Note from SFM: I think this exhibit is up through today, but it’s a little fuzzy in the wording.
Cinderella at Tacoma City Ballet Last show today at 3PM-scroll Down on their page.
