TESTIMONIALS
What People Are Saying
"It was a great show. It had the feeling of being scripted, but played it off so well. The hour long show went by so fast, and the action of the actual event was very insightful. They also provided history during the show which added that little extra. Good event to go to."

"Excellent, fun filled Lumberjack show. A must do in Ketchikan Alaska. Buy tickets online rather than from cruise ship excursion. A better value. Short 5 - 10 min walk from the cruise port pier."

"This wasn't my first choice of activities when planning our trip, but I'm so glad we booked this event! After the exciting tour we had of the Misty fjords and the beginning of our trip this was the perfect event to just have fun and shout & yell & make noise in general! We just dove right into the story and the experience and practically lost our voices with shouting. It was such a good time and a great energy!"

"Great show to check out while in port! They put on a good show and offer a variety of different lumberjack activities. Some of the events can get quite loud, so I'd suggest bringing some earbuds or headphones if you are sensitive to loud sounds or have young kids along with you. In terms of seating, all the seats are good and offer great views of the show, so if you get there later, you don't have to worry about bad or obstructed seating."

"So much fun! A great excursion to enjoy if you're looking for something you can just sit and watch. They made it a great competition and it was fun to root on your logging crew! Covered, heated and cushioned seats made this a 10/10, especially since the day we went was cold and rainy!"

Sandra Karr
"Great show! Obviously came to see those from a cruise ship visit and the whole family loved it, even the really young ones liked it minus the really loud parts which were easily solved with a few seconds of hands over the ears. Friendly staff and overall well worth the time and ticket price. And come on, who doesn’t want a lumberjack calendar for Christmas."

"Although the show was a bit cheesy for my personal likings I do think that it is a great show for families with young children especially. It was very entertaining and engaging for sure. I would also like to mention that Andria Hansen was most accommodating when we arrived a bit late and she swiftly escorted us to some awesome seating as well as offering us a slight discount because we were so late to the show. She is a great manager and very approachable too."

"Hi energy and lots of fun show. We enjoyed the show and was able to take photos with the staff at no charge, because it's something they don't have to do I think them spending the time to take pictures with everyone was very nice. Strongly recommended!"
