The Kitsap Forest Theater is located 15 minutes from the Bremerton Ferry dock on Seabeck Highway, off of the Chico Way exit from Highway 3 and is a mile above Country Nursery. It is easily accessed from the Olympic Peninsula, Tacoma, Olympia and points south and is accessed by ferries or the Tacoma Narrows bridge from the Seattle/Everett areas.

It takes about 1 1/2 hours to drive from Seattle via the Tacoma Narrows bridge. Taking the ferry takes about 1 1/2 hours (without factoring in the ferry wait), depending upon which ferry you take. The theater is about 35 minutes from the Kingston or Bainbridge ferry terminals. During spring and summer days, especially when the weather is nice, plan on getting to the ferry line early. You may have to wait for a ferry or two. There is typically less wait at the Seattle/Bremerton run than the Edmonds/Kingston run.

Many theater-goers pack a picnic lunch to enjoy on the ferry or at the property. This is a great day adventure in the forest!
