Jose Mendoza Soto
"Andrew, Chance, Ethan, Todd and Sweetie Pie Sue did an awesome job!! They had the audience engaged and active from the start, and they did an amazing job demonstrating various lumberjack skills and having tons of fun! 10/10, would go to again!!"

Sarah Rudolph
"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
"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 ;-)"

"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."

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

Tammy Webb
"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
"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 first saw the show sixteen years ago, and our recent visit was even better than we remembered. The family-friendly experience kept my 10-and 13-year olds entertained. The venue is just a short walk from the pier. It is well organized and easy. The show itself offers non-stop information, humor, and competition."

Phillip Vermillion
"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
"Did this and all you can eat crab. Think medieval times but lumberjack competition. Was fun. The kids we saw were having a blast."

David Moss
"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
"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
"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
"I followed the advice from some social media and we booked it thru our Royal Caribbean and we are so glad we did, the show was a lot of fun and the performers were very good. I definitely recommend it!"

Ronald Alicea
"This show is awesome! The lumberjacks do some amazing things. Well worth the price we paid for the show."

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

Brad Bonser

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

Michelle Wallace
"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
"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
"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
"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
"Our family had a great time at this show. These men are incredibly talented and the show was well put together. I do recommend going to an earlier show vs later as traffic in Ketchikan getting here from the ports can be a little thick-abd Ketchikan also has some great shopping for friendly souveniers"
