Tamarack Nature Center

Reviewed By sitkabob - Sitka, United States

This green space is amazing in the middle of such an urban area. We had a great hike, using the Dragonfly trail. The trails are pretty well marked, but in some cases it was challenging to follow, but you certainly don't get lost. Take water if the day is hot(ours was and we regretted not having any). Loads of great vegetation and insect life. It was a great day.

Yesterday, my friend Melanie had her birthday party here - and it was an absolute BLAST! I’m not going to give anything away, but the puzzles were so much fun! It is completely worth the money, and the fun that you will have! Especially if you’re a Harry Potter fan, get over there ASAP! :) Definitely a highlight of my year! :)

We did this escape room with another family. The fact that this is family-run, engineered and built is incredible. We did the Final Frontier room and loved the Star Trek themed geekiness of it! The first puzzle to get into the spaceship crash site took us the most amount of time — we were within minutes of solving it and getting out and didn't make it! Loads of fun. Can't wait to go back and try other rooms!
