With boundless sunshine that lingers late into the evening, summer is the perfect time for family travel in the Pacific Northwest and Tacoma. Nestled along the southern end of Puget Sound is the perfect vacation destination with incredible museums and endless outdoor fun. This summer, the city’s Forbes Four Star-rated Hotel Murano, located in the heart of downtown Tacoma, is upping the ante with not one but two packages that are perfect for the whole family.
Hotel Murano has partnered with Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, the Pacific Northwest’s premier combined aquarium and zoological facility, to offer families the chance to get up close and personal with sharks, seahorses, big cats, polar bears, walruses and wolves. The Get Wild! overnight package includes overnight accommodations in a two-bedded Deluxe Double room; family admission for two adults and two children to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium; breakfast for four at BITE at Hotel Murano; ice cream and sprinkles from Tacoma’s Ice Cream Social; backpacks packed with bottled water, snacks and maps of the walking trails at Point Defiance Park — the lush 702-acre oasis on Puget Sound where the zoo is located; and overnight self-parking at the hotel. Rates start at $229 per night, plus tax, and packages are available now through September 7, 2016.
Tacoma is also home to another kind of animal — Rhubarb the Reindeer, the mascot of the Tacoma Rainiers, the Pacific Coast League AAA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. The Rainiers play at Tacoma’s Cheney Stadium, just a short drive from Hotel Murano, and this summer the hotel is teaming up with Rhubarb and the Rainiers to offer families the Play Ball! package. This overnight getaway includes accommodations in a two-bedded Deluxe Double room; family admission for up to four to a Rainier’s home game; general parking at the stadium; a $50 gift card to the Rainier’s team store; breakfast for up to four at BITE at Hotel Murano; and overnight self-parking at the hotel. Rates start from $209 per night, plus tax, and packages are available now through the end of the Rainiers season on September 5, 2016.
