Why it could work for the two of you
Blacklight mini golf is inherently absurd and photogenic; the ‘90s nostalgia theme invites inside jokes. Arcade machines add competitive side bets between holes.
A neon blacklight mini-golf course with 10 movie-and-pop-culture-themed holes, paired with a 45-machine arcade. Also offers private party rooms and is adjacent to the Secret Burger Kitchen and hotel bar.

Use it as a rainy Tacoma block, then eat nearby rather than staying for every attraction.
Distance, night return, and tender reality
Walk or e-bike the central Foss/museum core in daylight; use transit or a car for separated districts.
Do not bike after dark; walk only on the lit core or take a car.
Foss Waterway Seaport public/transient dock: Strong downtown Tacoma access if the operator confirms unattended-tender use or the tender is registered and paid as an ordinary transient vessel. Wake exposure requires good fenders and lines.
The operator expressly offers transient side-tie moorage but does not publish a tender-specific unattended policy. Use as ordinary transient moorage and pay when required; call before relying on it for an unattended tender.
Hours / return constraint: Up to four hours free only during daylight hours. After four hours, or for evening/overnight use, the published transient rate applies. Payment envelopes are available at the south gangway/museum or east-side box. Public restrooms are unavailable.
- DO NOT ASSUME the four-hour free period applies after dark; the operator limits it to daylight hours.
- DO NOT ASSUME a small tender may be left unattended without registering or paying.
- DO NOT ASSUME the dock is calm; the operator warns of wakes.
- DO NOT ASSUME public restrooms are available.
Often walkable, but use a car after dark or in poor weather; confirm marina gate instructions first.
Taxi backup: Tacoma Yellow Cab: 253-205-0000.
The prominent crow-flight mileage is a geographic comparison from Jerisich Dock, not a route distance. Road, marine, time, and fare figures here are planning ranges, not live quotes. The named dock panel uses verified landing information where available; otherwise it explicitly tells you to confirm before relying on it.

Useful cautions and little wins
- Give each person one legal mulligan and choose the arcade game for the other.
- Indoor; excellent rain-day or evening option.
