Fun experience for the whole family. As part of our cruise excursions, we decided to take the kids to the lumber Jack show. It was great for them. Our 11 and 7 year old were engaged the entire time and all of the performers did a great job putting on a show. My daughter was thrilled to get an autographed postcard from the lumberjacks. If you are going to the show, I would suggest sitting on either side area. We were a bit late and ended up sitting center stage. There are a few poles that block the view. Also, the show is very geared towards two teams (US and Canadian) when you sit in the center you are not really sure which team to cheer for. Not a huge deal but it does play into the performance. The price for tickets is on the higher end. It is expected, as this town existed because of the large tourist industry. For a family of 4 plan on spending close to $100 for the tickets. There are always upgrade options to spend more. Plan on getting to the show early for best election of seating. While at the show you will see ax chopping, chainsaw cutting, tree climbing, sawing, and water logging completions. There is a woman who is the ringleader keeping the show moving right along and keeping the audience very engaged.

If this is your first time in Ketchikan and The Great Lumberjack Show is on an excursion list, then do it. After walking around town, I was a bit sad to see that the tickets were cheaper if you just showed up but our excursion came with Ax throwing and that was definitely worth the extra $20 or $30. They open the doors quite early, so I would suggest being there at least 15-20 mins early if you want good seats! This place really gets the crowd going, you can hear them as soon you walk into town. The whole thing is hilarious, the lumberjacks are sooo fun to watch, its also interesting listening to their individual background. The only thing they need is a lumberjill, she may not be able to do some heavy lifting but I know a woman can probably beat a man climbing up that tree!! Overall, I would recommend this excursion in a heartbeat. I would suggest seeing how far the walk is getting in to town rather than boarding the bus because you can see so much more of Ketchikan this way! P.s The show will go on, rain or shine – bring appropriate clothing! Also, go online for current prices, if you didn’t purchase one on the cruise ship, its $37 adults and $18.50 children

If you want to have some fun and entertainment while visiting Ketchikan AK this is the place for you. The folk's that put this show on start by splitting the audience into teams, the audience supported and cheered wildly for their newly adopted teams. The axes made the wood chips fly, chainsaw's sent sawdust spraying in the sky, climber's scampered quickly up tall logs, logrolling was like a couple kids playing in the pool, and ax throwing kept even the skeptics entertained. Everyone of the participant's had impressive skills that were put to the test in front of a large and boisterous crowd. This was a job well done by everyone, if you get there it is a must see. Enjoy.

What a fun show! My family and I really enjoyed our time here! This was our first lumberjack show and our host (Mr. Lasagna) and the lumberjacks made it a memorable experience. They kept us laughing and in awe with their silly banter and skills!! It was an easy walk from the pier to the show. We bought tickets online and arrived a bit early to the 9:30 show. It was a full house but not a bad seat anywhere! They were wonderfully interactive with the families and put on a fun competition to highlight a lumberjack's strength, coordination, and balance, Don't miss The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show on your trip to Ketchikan! YO-HO!

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!

We bought our tickets from our cruise ship. Access from the pretty was super-easy with a 3 block walk. The staff were entertaining and the show was just like you'll see on television... block chopping, spring boards, chainsaw speed competition, and so on. However, there was also a show and storyline that included the crowd. It's probably a little cheaper to buy the ticket at the gate than from the cruise line. I'm glad we went, and it was a great intro to the area, but I'm not sure we'd ever return without friends or family with us who hadn't seen something like it.
