Visiting the Galaxy Theater in Gig Harbor has always been a bitter-sweet occurrence for my bride…read moreand me. It's a nice, clean facility, and there always seems to plenty of seats - which may say more for our taste in cinema than the lack of patrons for a particular showing. The staff are always pleasant, if not a little condescending when going into explicit detail about how to find your way to any one of the 11 screens - including the mighty and deafening IMAX Theater. (Basically, it's either left, or right.) After living here for over a decade, we had never seen a show at this IMAX, so we were excited about what we were about to experience for the premium price of around $50 for two adults - one who is just 6-months from getting that $2.00 senior discount. Those first 64 years was worth the wait. After receiving our navigation instructions from the teenager scanning our tickets, we took a dangerous detour to the counter where wine, beer, chicken fingers and burnt hotdog ends and very possibly marijuana is sold. We ordered a medium bag of popcorn (extra butter substitute) and two soft drinks. Being a slightly awkward grouping of containers, we asked for one of those thin, collapsable cardboard caddies. "OK. But they're twenty-five cents" the barkeep said in a way that made me feel dirty for asking. "Ok. I think I have a quarter in one of my pockets." I didn't want to use my debit card again after spending twenty-seven dollars on the sodas and popcorn. After cautiously sliding my lint-covered quarter across the counter towards the barkeep, he reached down and pulled a flat piece of the stiff beige paper up and in three seconds created an origami in the shape of an open-faced box and handed it over. Now we were prepared to be amazed by the IMAX that was looming at the end of the hall past the first five inferior screens filled with parents and toddlers in one and surly teens in the other. The IMAX with its large entrance area was devoid of any flat surfaces on which to rest our 25-cent caddy loaded with top-heavy sodas and popcorn when my better half asked me which seats we were assigned to. Of course, by this time, I had completely forgotten what the young man who scanned my ticket had told me, as it was all I could do to remember how to get there in the first place. With no table or chairs to rest the caddy and my wife unable to juggle that plus her handbag while also providing me with an array of good ideas about finding tickets and not forgetting seat numbers in the first place, I had to squat to the floor and set the caddy down, stand up again to find the tickets in the third pocket I checked. With that settled, I squatted unsteadily and recovered the origami holding our salty and sweet payload and stepped into the Amazing IMAX Theater. The first thing we noticed were the seats. Those sitting in them on the first row to our right looked so small - only heads, arms and legs were visible. No torsos. The cushions had collapsed to the point of nearly swallowing their occupants like an orange Venus Flytrap with an appetite for senior citizens. As we continued, we saw some seats that were empty, showing their cracked leather like something you'd find in a "57 Nash at a Pick and Pull. We made it to our seats closer to the top of the stands and found that the armrest had apparently been attacked by one Frederick Krueger. After swinging the old, stained wooden tray out of the way, I turned around and slowly descended into my seat. The experience lasted longer than it should have. I knew that after I had passed the point where I thought I should stop sinking and seeing my knees from an entirely new perspective, I was probably going to yell "I've sunken in an IMAX seat and I can't get up!" The horsehair or whatever was used to stuff these seats was likely gleaned from the unfortunate casualties in the Civil War. The leather-like material covering them was a wrinkled mess reminiscent of a very old elephant's derriere, and to complete the horror of it all, there were no toggle to press to recline and/or raise one's legs like the other 10 screens at the Gig Harbor Galaxy. This - was just - a chair. The Mighty IMAX struck out with this patron. But Elvis was the best 90-minutes I've spent watching anything for a while. The popcorn was pretty good, too. The origami caddy is on my kitchen counter waiting to be used another day.

Reclining chairs with tables were nice and cushioned, it was relaxing. It made for a nice enjoyable experience. Popcorn not so great, flavor tasted bitter and kind of stale.

I came here with my parents the other day to do some strawberry picking while they were visiting…read more We all had a great time and got some delicious strawberries! The parking lot for pickers is just north of the address on Yelp but they had plenty of signs that made it easy to find. You have to go down a gravel road to get there so keep that in mind if you don't want your car getting dirty. They had quite a few rows of strawberries for picking, and had 4 different varieties available. We also saw some apple trees where the apples were growing for picking in the fall and some peach trees. They also have veggies to pick but we didn't walk that far back. A lot of the strawberry plants had been pretty picked over but still had plenty of fruit if you pulled up the leaves and looked. We ended up picking about 3 lbs of fruit to take home. The fields are super dusty so make sure to wear sneakers you don't care about because they will get covered in dirt. We enjoyed a relaxing time picking berries and enjoying the beautiful views. I will definitely be back with my husband and daughter to enjoy picking some more fruit.

As soon as we turned onto the dirt path, a breeze rolled through the front strawberry field and…read moreswept into the car. The scent hit us--warm, sweet, and sun-soaked and in that instant, we knew we were exactly where we were meant to be. No one can convince me there's a better smell on this planet than fresh strawberries in the summer breeze. Not rain, not bread, not even raspberries--though those came in close second. Bailey's Farm is a dream. My mom and I spent the afternoon picking strawberries and raspberries together, surrounded by blooming fields and buzzing bees. The strawberries were bright red, perfectly ripe, and so fragrant it felt like walking through a natural perfume. That smell alone could heal your entire nervous system. The raspberries were generous and delicious too, but it was the strawberries that made time stop. We picked slowly, laughed often, and let the wind guide us from row to row. It wasn't just a farm--it was a pause button in the middle of our road trip, and a memory I'll hold close forever. The only thing that could use improvement is the parking lot. The entrance and exit are one-way, but it's not clearly marked. It's a small detail, but clearer signage would make arrival smoother. Still, nothing compares to stepping out of the car and into that scent. Bailey's Farm gives you more than berries--it gives you a reason to breathe deeper. And I already can't wait to go back.

We came to Picha Farms for U-pick strawberries with a couple of friends. The actual picking…read moreexperience was okay. The field was small and the strawberries were on the smaller side, but that was expected and similar to other farms we've visited before. The reason I'm writing this review is because of an uncomfortable checkout experience. While we were waiting in line to weigh our strawberries, we noticed the staff member at the scale zeroing out the container for the customers ahead of us so they wouldn't be charged for the basket/box itself. She even explained it out loud, which we thought was considerate. However, when it was our turn, she did not zero out the scale. We didn't say anything at the time and assumed maybe it was an honest mistake. What felt disheartening was that immediately after we paid and stepped aside, she zeroed out the scale again for the customer right behind us. My friends, who are of Hispanic ancestry, felt very uncomfortable and singled out by the interaction. I don't want to accuse anyone of racism or say this was intentional, because I don't know that. But I do think it's worth sharing because these kinds of small differences in treatment can really affect how people feel in a space. Our overall experience was okay, but that checkout interaction left a bad impression.

We visited Duris Strawberry Farm on the first day of strawberry picking (Jun 13, 2026) and it was a…read morecomplete madhouse. This was about 30 minutes after opening and the small parking lot was completely full. Cars were parked haphazardly all along the street, making it difficult for two way traffic (we had to drive on the grass). Luckily as soon as we pulled into the parking lot a car reversed out. Score! Picking is hectic but organized. They give boxes out at the main stall and have a flag system to mark how far down the row has been picked. The problem is that most people didn't actually use the flags. On the other hand, it's not like the rows were picked very well in the first place. We started at a random one in the middle and there were still plenty of huge and juicy ripe strawberries even on the first couple of plants. We ended up filling our entire box, weighing in at 8.25 pounds by around half way down the row. At $4.75 that was almost $40 in strawberries! The employees said that they would rotate to a second field of strawberries later in the day for more fresh picking. The strawberry variety of the day was Puget Crimson. Since this was the first day, the cream of the crop were still available, meaning huge, juicy, flavorful, ripe strawberries all over. Puget Crimson typically seen at farm stands and markets are medium and small size; these were massive, with the larger ones averaging over 35 grams a piece. Nicely sweet too - I measured a mash of five strawberries at 10.9 brix and a second at 12.1 brix! This particular variety has a decent amount of acidity, but are all full flavored, unlike the first pick of Sweet Sunrise I had a couple of weeks ago, which were huge but somewhat watery. They are deep red/crimson in color, especially for the extremely ripe ones, and mostly conical, although we found a small number of mutants, one looking like 4 or 5 strawberries fused together! Check out is easy. Pro-Tip: there are two checkout lines, one on each side of the stall. The line furthest away from the pathway to the strawberry fields seems to always be shorter. In my case, only 3 groups in line instead of 20+ groups. Warning: these strawberries are planted on top of very sandy dirt, which sticks to the strawberries. Even after soaked and scrubbing, dirt still sticks onto the skin! I will definitely be revisiting Duris Strawberry Farm next year for their first day of strawberry picking!

We stopped and bought some strawberries today and they were spectacular. We received the tip to…read morevisit Duris today from our waitress Lisa at Mama Stortini's during lunch. She said they have great produce so we stopped there on the way home along River road and I'm so glad we did. They had big juicy sweet strawberries picked today just like she said. It was a great tip so I'm paying it forward for anyone who is looking for strawberries. It's best to call them before you go since when they run out, they close and we barely made in time after a late lunch. They only had a few half flats of strawberries bu the time we got there. GPS got us there the back way but once we found it, I have to say it's very easy to find.
