Great views, terrible shopping, eating and event location. I am happy to have this complex instead of seeing the Super Fund site it capped off. Parking garage is too small and tight. Expect door dings whenever you park here. Parking is truly the worst part about the experience here.

If you love taking walks along the waterfront, then head over to Point Ruston in Tacoma. The waterfront promenade behind the Point Ruston Community is also great for dog walking, biking, skating, and rollerblading, and connects with Dune Peninsula Park. With sweeping views of the Puget Sound and Mount Rainier, definitely check out Point Ruston. Stay for lunch or dinner at one of the local restaurants, grab an ice cream for dessert, and visit the Public Market for locally crafted goods.Tip: Validate your parking at one of the local shops within 15 minutes of parking.

We love the area and we live close by, so we frequent down here. However, the parking enforcement people they need to lay off a little bit when you're dropping somebody off at the theater. My kids frequently come down here with their friends to go to the theater and it's really difficult to arrange pick up and drop off when there's no cell signal down there. While I realize this isn't point Ruston's fault, the city of Ruston needs to do something about getting cell phone towers installed down here. It's very frustrating when your trying to pick up somebody and have no cell signal and the "parking police" keep telling you to move. I literally just have to drive around in circles until I see my kids.

We came here for two visits. 1st Visit - There were four of us in our party and it was our first time doing an escape room. The only one available at the time was Temetra's Hex. We all filled out the waiver forms online and were ready to go as soon as we got there. We, unfortunately, forgot our gamemaster's name but they were well-versed and enthusiastic in the script. I don't think any of us were expecting a backstory but enjoyed it nonetheless. We were a little afraid to touch stuff when we entered. Again, it was our first time and we weren't really sure what was acceptable. For the first 10-15 minutes we touched things gently to see if they did anything. We didn't even move the lanterns. Instead, we walked items over to any light we could. Finally, the gamemaster reminded us that we could move things and use the lanterns. That's when our game really started. The four of us felt easier at moving around and touching things. The comments, nudges, and hints were appreciated when we asked. And I was reminded that the....thing...I don't remember what animal the animatronic was, was named Jinx and not Alexa :PThere were a couple of tight spaces, crawling, and short climbing to do. Although that wasn't expected, it was pretty neat to have to be so active in a puzzle-solving situation "game". Our children didn't mention doing any of this kind of thing in their escape rooms (Another location in Tacoma and one in Seattle).*At least two of us are overweight and we were still able to participate in each of the areas.Anyhow, we only got about 85% done before time ran out. I don't think we did too bad considering it was our first time and that we spent our first 10-15 minutes trying not to break anything.-----------------2nd Visit - Our children (24 & 31), and son-in-law, all agreed to forego Christmas this year and do an Escape Room together instead. We suggested Point Ruston since it was close and none of them had been to this one. As mentioned, we (the parents) already did Temetra's Hex, so we booked Siren's Cove.We were all set with waiver forms online, we put our items in the provided locker and got started.We had a different gamemaster this time but still, they were well-versed and enthusiastic. We volunteered our son-in-law as tribute to walk down the hallway first :POnce we got in, we went to work. All on different things. I kind of stayed out of the way since the room was small with five of us, and just looked around taking ownership of the writing tablet, writing things as they called them out.No one was worried about touching things this time. I don't want to give away anything, so I'll just say that there was a short "climb" for one person, and a crawl space in another area. Other than that, I don't think there was very much physical activity. Once all areas were opened there was a lot of room to move around.We completed this challenge with 11 minutes to spare. *I have to mention, that my family are gamers (DND, boardgames, online, PVP, RPG, etc). Not so much us anymore (the parents - former WoW raiders), but the three of them still are. They made quick work of puzzles with little hints. I think they declined all but two hints from the gamemasters.Our finish time wasn't because the room was easy. When we finished we received a "We Escaped" button :)We had a lot of fun and our children said this was way better than the other Escape rooms that they've done. One of them bought a passport for more.We plan on booking Gig Harbor's location for a coming birthday. 10/10 - We would all recommend!

I love Seattle, WA ! One of my favorite spot in all of Tacoma. This is one of the most beautiful places with a gorgeous view of Mount Rainier! A must see for a beautiful scenic water front stroll! I love to come here to jog and walk and enjoy the sunrise and sunset!I miss it !

Hands down the best escape room I have EVER done. So much thought and creativity was put into the room and Lexi, our host, was awesome. On the ride back home we all talked about how badly we wanted to do another one. Highly recommend.
