"This was a highlight of our trip to Alaska. They put on a very entertaining show that is family friendly and comedic. Recommend 10 out of 10"

Justin Etherton

"This was a very fun experience to watch. Everyone was very friendly, enthusiastic and entertaining. The axe throwing was very fun as we have neverdone that before."

P Murphy

"A little bit scripted,but none the less an amazing show especially with the rare and blessed sunny and clear weather we got! In a place that gets 140+in of rain a year,it was a rare treat and made the event that much more special! Each side of the bleachers are different teams,you will be cheering on you're team depending where you sit. There is a small snack shop before entering and also a snack cart below for anything you made need before it starts. If you have any crying babies or screaming children during the event ,please take them out if they start..no one wants to hear that kind of disruption when paying for an event or trying to listen...a simple,kind gesture goes a long way!"

"We love this show that it is our third time seeing it over the years."

Michelle Wallace

"So. Fun! I didn't know what to expect, but it was an energizing and fun afternoon to see these hunks of lumberjacks perform these tasks. It was also intense, they were not easy jobs and pretty dangerous. The host/emcee was AMAZING and deserves a raise!"

Jason Zimmerman

"Just the right amount of cheesy and amazing talent. I really enjoyed this show, it was worth the money. Arrive 15 min early because seating is first come first served. The athletes are really incredible and the jokes and gags were family friendly."

Sara A

"This excursion was awesome.If you get the chance to go, you should go would definitely do it again."

"Fun. Perfect amount of time and well paced. Covered seating so you don’t have to worry about what the weather will be doing. Would highly recommend especially if you’re looking for a more affordable “excursion” or activity while in Ketchikan."

Courtney C

"Fun family local experience. We greatly enjoyed and definitely recommend. The arena is rather small which makes you feel like you’re really there."

Magdalena Rawecka

"Its a little corny but good family fun! Worth a visit if on the cruise ship."

WeWorkToRoam

"Best show in town. Probably the only show, but still super fun and 100% worth the price of admission. We bought tickets direct and not via our cruise because more times were offered."

Scott Wakefield

"This place was amazing! Live entertainment from lumberjacks! So skilled and entertaining. They made the crowd elintereact and gave gifts along the way. You won't have a dull moment. Must do activity in Alaska!"

Keva Levarity

"We visited here after stopping at the Alaskan port of Ketchican. It was definitely worth the visit, as a family of 4 for roughly about an hour. The lumberjacks were very entertaining, with two sides battling it out to win different activities, and getting the crowds involved. You could buy snacks and drinks if you wanted before the show. After the show you can also have a picture with the lumberjacks and provide a small tip, which I thought was a nice touch!"

David Khan

"It is corny, the jokes are bad .... but it's a must see. You'll have a much better time than you imagine. We had a great time Inspite of the steady unending downpour. Cudos to the performers..."

Robert Peresan

"Had a great time. Lively show. My grandson loved it so much. We arrived on the cruise ship. It was a short port stop but we had plenty of time."

Julie Etter (The Butcher's wife)

"This was a great experience! Definitely within walking distance from the cruise ship. We could actually see the venue from our room. The lumberjack were knowledgeable and entertaining. They gave great performances all day based on the cheers from the crowds we heard all day! Highly recommend this excursion, which was cheaper purchasing directly from their site than booking as a cruise excursion."

Susan Cervone

"We had a really fun time at the Alaska lumberjack show. It was neat to see such talented athletes do really cool maneuvers. They were throwing axes, spinning on logs and climbing upwards of 50 feet in competitions against other lumberjacks. They were chopping trees with axes and doing really experienced lumberjack things! Fun family event for anyone and also very good for kids. We also want ax throwing, which was very enjoyable and worth it!"

Trevin Day

"It was a really great experience- the guys were very impressive and, whilst scripted, the show definitely had entertainment and comedy value as well as being a display of skill. Lots of audience participation and loud chainsaws etc. Mean this probably isn't for you if you had a heavy night, but otherwise was great fun for kids and adults."

Alistair Mason

"The rumors were true, this show is amazing! The announcer the, lumber jacks the ambiance. Everything was great ."

Jose Mendoza Soto

"This show was GREAT! Fun to watch AND learn a bit about the history of logging. If you get the opportunity, do the axe 🪓 throw. Steve taught us how to do it and we had a blast! Keep up the great work, guys!"

Mike Chiumento

"What a fun show! I had heard about the show for years but expected just a hokey tourist thing and didn’t really know if I would enjoy myself. Well, we really had a great time. It was an excursion for our ship this past week and they really put on a good showthe trash talking the work the muscles. The mistress of ceremonies everything from beginning to end was fun."

Denise M

"Its an absolute tourist trap but it's a fun show🤣 id watch it again! Lasagna Joe does a good job of hyping up the crowd. Get there earlier then suggested to find seats together if ur in a large group."

Gabrielle Gordon

"I had a blast watching those lumberjacks show off their skills and humor, but Celebrity cruise ship only gave us a tiny taste of Ketchikan, Alaska, docking from 7am to 3pm. I mean, who can really experience the wild beauty of Alaska in just eight hours? Mark and I got sucked into eating all the halibut and browsing cheesy tourist traps - yeah, we're those tourists. Next time, we're driving up from Seattle and doing it right."

jocelyn jessica jacinto

"Very funny and entertaining show. The Canadian team won! Suggest buying tickets in advance as if you buy it at the entrance you might be seated at the end. Good educational experience as well. BTW, the lumberjacks are very biased towards kids and older ladies. I was screaming loudly to get the prise, but they totally ignored me. Very unfair for the big man like me ;-)"

Ed B-n

"A great fun experience. This high action and fun show was a great part of our day in Ketchikan. The compare ‘lasagne Joe” knew how to work a crowd and the interaction between the lumberjacks, Joe and the audience was superb."

Mark Priest

"This was such a fun show and a great/unique way to spend an hour in Ketchikan! I visited on 6/5/25 and I must say the host (name I have forgotten) was one of the best hosts I have ever seen in any sort of show, game, etc. He was funny and had an exceptional level of enthusiasm and energy for 7:45 in the morning; he was able to maintain that throughout the show and keep the crowded thoroughly pumped up which added to the appeal. The lumberjacks themselves also had great stage presence and it was neat to see them do their work even in the rain. All guests are covered so we got to stay warm and dry; don't fret about going in the pouring rain...these guys are used to this as Ketchikan sees more than 14ft of rain per year!! I recommend to get there early if you want a particular spot - the shows seemingly are almost always sold out. I also purchased good quality souvenirs from their gift shop. I highly recommend!"

Kari Smith

"Great show very fun and interesting. They kept you laughing at there jokes. I would recommend watching them and good for kids…"

Tammy Webb

"This is a awesome way to spend about 90 minutes in Ketchikan. Although it was raining, the seating is under a roof, and there are heaters if you sit about midway up. The show was very entertaining and humorous. There are a lot of chances for crowd involvement, and there are concessions with some pretty decent options! I recommend this port show if you have a quick stop in town. Them boys worked there butts off, hats off!"

Eddie Moore

"Our family of five (two parents, three children ages 17 - 27) loved this show! The host was super entertaining and funny, and the lumberjacks were also super entertaining and engaging. We didn't know what to expect—and the show exceeded any expectations we might have had. We especially enjoyed learning the backgrounds of the different jacks. Who knew they were serious athletic competitors? We bought our tickets through their website, which seemed the best deal. If you've got time in Ketchikan, I'd for sure make this a stop!"
