Winter Wonderland at Tehaleh
As the winter season marches forward and days spent cooped up at home begin to drag on, it’s time to explore some local gems both on the Tehaleh trails and a short jaunt away in downtown Tacoma.
Nestled in the woods, Tehaleh offers your clients a winter wonderland of enjoyment for all. Residents and visitors stay active outdoors throughout the year and find that in the winter, the quickest solution to cabin fever is getting outside. Layer on a heavy coat and scarf, and head out for a stroll or bike ride through some of our 30+miles of trails. Weave among the trees and test your knowledge to see if you can spot the differences between Douglas firs, Cedar and Western Hemlock. Practice being very still and listening closely for local wildlife roaming the outdoors.
Just breathing in the fresh air will get them excited to explore one of our 13 unique parks – find everything from an off-leash dog park at Hounds Hollow to the tranquil Ponder for quiet reflection. And, if the snow starts falling or it gets a little too chilly, have them pop in to The Post for a hot beverage from Caffé D’arte and a blast of heat by the fire in the Warming Hut.
In Tacoma
For those hoping to soak up some culture (and fun), they can find a new adventure just a short drive away in Tacoma. The first stop could be the Tacoma Art Museum, named one of the “Top 10 Great Places to See Art in Smaller Cities” by USA Today, with over 4,500 works celebrating the Northwest and beyond.
If your clients need a place to burn off some kiddo energy, all that is needed is a short walk down the street to stop at the Children’s Museum of Tacoma. For a small donation, kids can discover five different playscapes – a fort, splash area, messy art zone, and more. All are sure to spark the imagination!
Consider a discount pass for the Tacoma Museum District and check out the five other museums including the Washington State History and the Museum of Glass. Before heading back home, celebrate with a sweet treat and a warm beverage from the local spot, hello, cupcake.
No matter what your clients are looking for some time outdoors or just a fun reason to get out of the house, new adventures await you in our neck of the woods.
