Haunted Fairgrounds

Annual Kitsap Haunted Fairgrounds
Fridays & Saturdays in October, plus Thursday October 31st (Halloween) and Friday, November 1st & Saturday, November 2nd
Kitsap County Fairgrounds - 1200 NW Fairgrounds Rd, Bremerton

This October event takes place in 22,000 square feet of indoor space spanning three buildings on the fairgrounds. The entire haunt, ticket booth, and waiting area are indoors. Concessions are also available. The lights-on time is specifically for young children with no scares, however some of the scenes may still be disturbing for some.

There has been a zombie outbreak on the grounds of the Kitsap County Fairgrounds! It has been contained to a few buildings, but the situation is becoming critical. Work your way through three buildings on the fairgrounds, experiencing the horrors of a small group of citizens that are under attack. An emergency room has been set up to attempt to help but it has been overwhelmed. Some rooms may be safe for now, while others are completely overrun. Will you be Zombie Bait? If you are brave enough, you can directly confront the zombies at the Thunderbird Stadium across the street. A few zombies have been contained in the stadium for target practice.
