"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"

"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

"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

"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

"First time visit and blown away by the level of energy and just plain fun. Great time for all including kids. Will absolutely do again next time in Ketchikan. Nothing fake in the show. These are real athletes competing against each other. The MC keeps things lively and entertaining. Yo Ho to the entire cast."

Rick K

"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.

"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

"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

"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

"Cheesy? Yep! Entertaining? Yep! Touristy? Yep! Worth your time? For sure! We had a blast and would recommend it to anyone visiting Ketchikan. The show was enjoyable for everyone kids to grandparents. "

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

Michelle Wallace

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

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

Jose Mendoza Soto

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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!"

FallenForever

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

Brad Bonser

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

WeWorkToRoam

Justin Etherton
