Downtown Tacoma

Things to do in downtown Tacoma
The Museum District
Six world-class museums make up Tacoma’s Museum District, with subjects that span art, history, maritime and the automobile. Tacoma Art Museum’s focus on art of the American West, and work from Pacific Northwest artists. Museum of Glass not only showcases glass pieces from some of the biggest names in the field, it also contains a functioning hot shop, where visitors can watch glass artists ply their trade. America’s Car Museum is the largest car museum in North America, and takes visitors through every era of the automobile’s history via more than 300 collector vehicles on display. Washington State History Museum lets you meet the extraordinary people of Washington State through artifacts, interactive exhibitions and unique storytelling. The Children’s Museum of Tacoma is a pay-as-you-will experience that celebrates the power of play. The Foss Waterway Seaport Museum gives visitors a glimpse into Tacoma’s maritime past, present and future in a building that’s a part of that rich heritage.
Pacific Avenue

The Theater District

Downtown waterfront
Tacoma's downtown core glides nicely onto the downtown waterfront, marked by Dock Street museums, and the esplanade, a beautiful waterfront walkway with access to dining, parks and picnic areas, and kayak and paddle board rentals. To get to the waterfront by foot from downtown, cross either the Bridge of Glass, or the Murray Morgan bridge on 11th street, and take the glass elevator to dock street.
Antique Row

Brewery Blocks
Adding to the energy of downtown Tacoma, the Brewery Blocks' name pays homage to the trade that historically gave the area its purpose, and it has become a hub for fun by the glass. Within just a few steps of one another, you'll imbibe the best of the Northwest, from Dancing Goats Coffee providing the caffeine, Camp Colvos Brewing & Pizza Co. slinging the suds and slices, Incline Cider keeping it crisp, and the Living Taproom boldly letter you pick and pour your poison.
