Our children, ages 8, 10 & 12, all enjoyed this museum. They learned some stuff with the help of the scavenger hunt, but they especially enjoyed the kids' play area. There are multiple hands on exhibits. There is also a gift store. You can ring a bell if you give a donation. The museum is down by the Harborside Fountain Park and the ferry terminal.

USS Turner Joy Museum Ship

Reviewed By WIfamilyof7 - La Crosse, United States

I've toured a few museum ships since separating from the Navy years ago and, in my opinion, this is one of the best opportunities to explore a US Navy vessel. On ships like the Battleship Wisconsin or Battleship Missouri, there is just so much of the ship you don't have access to. On the USS Turner Joy you can explore almost everything! I always want to go, into the engine room. In most museum ships you can't, at least not much. The audio stations make the self guided tour easy and fun for anyone that is in to these former navy ships. I loved the tour. We went on a week day in October. It wasn't crowded and we didn't feel pushed to keep moving. We could linger around as much as we wanted. Personnel around to ask questions that were very helpful. Take the pleasant 1 hour ferry ride from Seattle to Bremerton for this cool piece of history!

If you have a long wait for the Seattle ferry you might spent it at the Fountain park next to the ferry landing. In the warmer months you could also Cool your feet.

Bremerton Bug Museum

Reviewed By KimB007 - Seattle, United States

When my toddler Grandson learned we were taking him to see bugs, snakes, butterflies and lizards at the Bug Museum he couldn't contain himself! "Are we there yet?" ... "Are we there yet?" is all we heard as we drove to the museum. He grinned from ear to ear! There's ample parking and lots to see when you arrive. There is no cover charge. It's all by donation. Once we got inside all we heard were squeels of delight and joy as he bounced from one exhibit to the next. There are activities for the kids to do and coloring pages that kids can take home as well. We saw tarantulas, butterflies, snakes, bearded dragon, legless lizard, turtles and all sorts of other creepy crawlies. They offer a wide selection of activities you can purchase too. Including a grow your own butterfly kit. Puzzles, lollipops, bug house, bug jewelry, dinosaur puppets, lots of fun toys for kids to learn with. We had a fun visit! You will too.

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Memorial Plaza

Reviewed By thomask345 - Fairfax, United States

I enjoyed walking around the memorial plaza near the entrance to the shipyard. It is nicely designed and well maintained. I liked reading about the history of the submarine USS Parche and panel of ships repaired during World War II.
