This museum is above what I expected as a historical location. I had a lot of fun and an exciting journey to learn and discover sailors’ life and the establishment of the shipyard in the 1890s and contemporary world. There is no admission fee to enter, and its location is close to the ferry terminal. Everyone can check it out quickly when waiting for the ferry. I have been here two times and still feel great not only the museum’s contents but also the staff’s hospitality and friendliness.
This FREE museum donations accepted and encouraged, is right next to the Bremerton Ferry Terminal and surrounded by the amazing Fountain Park with “exploding” or “erupting” fountains in multiple wading pools. It has 2 floors of exhibits and is staffed by retired navy vets. There are lots of exhibits on the history of the shipyard especially during the world wars. It also has an exhibit on the future potential of 3D printers uses on ships at sea. There is a small children’s area on the first floor where kids can play. Many of the exhibits are photographs or equipment behind glass so it may not be super fun for little ones except the play area. If you are waiting for the ferry between 10am-4pm you can easily squeeze this in in about 30-45 minutes.
Loved this museum! Very interactive. Great kids play area with a Navy theme. If you want to learn about the Bremerton Naval facilities and Naval history, this is a wonderful place to visit. The staff is very nice and accommodating which adds to the experience.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
My father served in the Navy and the exhibits at this museum were both informative and fun. We both really loved the new exhibit that speaks bout the people who served, rather than just the technology or events.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
How come not many people are visiting this museum ? We can go by ferry from Seattle. Amazing experience in Ferry. You can't carry your bag inside. So,they provide locker facility. Museum has two floors. You can spend 2 hours there. So much information. Museum is FREE. 3D printer is amazing. Many restaurants are nearby.
Pretty cool free museum. A lot of pride with their displays and knowledgable volunteers. The sub and aircraft displays are very insightful. The park area behind the museum is also nice and peaceful and a nice place to take in the water.
We got to peek into the new exhibit, can't wait til it opens! This was a treasure trive of information about navy life. We really enjoyed visiting and will be back!
This was such a great museum and it's free! The staff/volunteers were very helpful. They had lockers to hold larger bags at no charge. I was incredibly moved by the photography exhibit they had on the 2nd floor. I was in Bremerton recreating a photograph my Granddaddy took while his ship was pulling into Puget Sound. He was around the same age and around the same time period as Mr. Steen. Seeing Mr. Steen's work allowed me to feel even closer to my Granddaddy who passed away a year after I was born. Thank you for making this connection possible!
Great place! A lot of cool things to see. The gift shop was disappointing, unfortunately. The cashier had no idea how much the stuff in the store was :/ I had to show her where the things I wanted to buy were.
Naval History , Artifacts, Displays , and recent information about USS John Stennis and the USS Nimitz housed In a beautiful building nestled near the Ferry Terminal and bordering the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. I served aboard the Nimitz and was pleasantly surprised to see so much about her history and how it intwines with the history of Bremerton and the ship yard. The staff were perfect . The visit was worth the long trip from Huntsville Alabama .
