"We really enjoyed this show. It was truly entertaining. The crab fest afterwards was even better than expected. The food was fresh, tasty & there was plenty of it."

Beth Zboran

"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)

"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

"I had a great time at the show when I visited in October. It was exciting, and the lumberjacks really got the crowd involved."

Taylor Roberts

"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

"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!"

Yeedah Krasowski

"We Love it..Great show! Very close near port...highly recommend get your ticket advance. They do sold out. Our was show was. Get there 30 min before the show a small venue. Choose your seat. This was one of the less expensive excursion and it did not disappointment. The have cutest souvenir store. mobility was not a issue. If is raining make sure bring rain ☔ gears....overall it great show. Worth every penny."

Jay Marie

"This was better than expected. Lots of crowd participation and the lumberjacks went into the crowd to pass out autographed photos. Lots of good-hearted jokes. This was very enjoyable and they have a great gift shop too. We would go again if we were in the area. The bleachers are covered and they have heaters above. The lumberjacks take photos with anyone that wants one at the end of the show. Good fun."

David Farley

"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!"

Emily Hill

"Great show! Very talented team and quite a show for all ages. The skills they showed were world class!"

Brad Bonser

"Was a fun show. We have been to Ketchikan a couple of times but decided to do this because we were traveling with our 2 grandsons 18 mo and 3.5 yr old. They enjoyed it. It’s a competition between two teams and you’re encouraged to cheer for your team. Fun experience would definitely recommend. We bought tickets directly through them. I believe they were $43 apiece. We were cruising on NCL. Docked at 7 AM. Bought tickets for the 8:30 AM show was a little bit worried after I read the reviews about getting off the ship but we were ready at 6:45 and headed down to get off. We didn’t have any issues. We were the first ones on the shuttle arrived in town About 7:40. It was about a 15 minute walk. We had time for a a couple of photos and grab some coffee. Since our ship left early, we got out of the show by 9:30. We were able to do a little bit of shopping and walk around town before grabbing the shuttle back to the ship."

Pam Webster

"My 2nd Visit recently and just as good if not better than the first time! We booked independently to save money from the inflated cruise ship pricing, piece of cake. I am disabled and the entry for mobility issues could’ve been a bit easier to spot as I missed it and was queuing through the store with everyone despite not being able to stand for long, but after this went to reserve seating, the front row is strangely low and exacerbated my conditions we moved to a back row that was much higher and helped me out. No issues as this is a me problem not the shows. The show itself - excellent!!! 10/10 for fun and interaction!! A must when visiting Ketchikan."

Christopher Hunt

"Amazing fun experience. The lumberjacks looked amazing with their muscled arms 🤣🤣 The lumberjacks did an amazing show even though it was drizzling. The venue was cosy, warm and comfortable. Definitely recommend this for any age to watch."

Elizabeth Orr

"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

"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

"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

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

Jose Mendoza Soto

"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

"An absolute must-do in Alaska! We attended the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show with family during our cruise, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The show was packed with action, from log rolling to axe throwing, and the skill and athleticism of the lumberjacks were impressive. They kept the energy high with a perfect mix of humor and competition, making it fun and engaging for all ages. The performers did a great job involving the audience and made us feel like part of the show. This is a unique and entertaining way to experience Alaskan culture—definitely recommend adding it to your itinerary!"

Andie G.

"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

"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

"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

"Just a great show. Second time and just as fun. It rained but the covers kept all the rain off. I booked in advance but I think you would be unlucky not to get in, and while changing tickets for a later show was easy, I would leave flexibility. Maybe book online from the ship"

David Tee

"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

"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

"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!"

FallenForever

"What a fun fun fun show!! The MC does a great job of creating energy and getting you excited to see the show. You can’t help but to leave in a happy mood. And the lumberjacks do a great job too. 🙂"

Anne D'Alessandro

"We really enjoyed the Lumberjack show. It was fun and entertaining. They handle the crowds well. Cute gift store and concessions available too."

Tammy H

"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."
