Good corny fun - We grabbed tickets for this a couple weeks before we were due to be in Ketchikan and there was still lots of availability (though admittedly this was early in the season). It’s a bit disorganized when queuing and you need to watch for people trying to sneak in line but there’s plenty of space inside. We really enjoyed the show itself. The lumberjacks were really talented. My husband was obsessed. I found it a bit corny but enjoyed the climbing and water challenges. And it wasn’t too much of a time suck so we were able to enjoy our day before/after (we went at 1pm)

This show will tickle your funny bone! - I've seen lumberjack shows before but this one was really entertaining. You could tell they we late into the season as the performances were really funny and didn't seem forced. Most of the shows I've are rigged so that the score of the two teams competing against each other remains close, but not this show. They let the guys really compete and it was a blowout. Really entertaining!

Lots of laughs and learning - Don’t be deterred by the crowd waiting to enter…once the doors open people are efficiently and quickly moved inside. The show is fun, engaging and shows a lot about the life of lumberjacks. Lots of audience participation and heaps of laughs. Good value. Go prepared if it is cold or wet weather…audience members are partly exposed to the elements.

Great Show - We loved the show, these are real lumberjacks. We had limited time in Ketchikan (we were on a cruise ship). or we would have done the crab feast also. Would recommend the show and next we will do the meal too.

Fun entertainment - Very entertaining. Did not realize these young men competed collegiately in these difficult sports. They made it entertaining for young and old alike

Great family fun for all ages! - The lumberjack show was a treat! The lumberjacks' strength was a marvel and the humor weaved into their competition made the whole show so fun! The show was wheelchair/scooter accessible for our Dad, and was just a couple of blocks from the cruise dock, right on the edge of the water.

Fun show, good value if you buy tickets directly. - We had good seats, sort of. Somebody should be out there not allowing able-bodied young people to sit in the first row. We had to climb up a couple rows which isn’t really safe for us oldsters, especially coming back down. The show itself is well-done and entertaining. I liked the rivalry between the two sides. It was upbeat and fun. I would go again as long as we don’t have to climb up the steps. Btw, don’t buy your tickets through the cruise ship. It’s much cheaper if you buy them directly. Go to the 9:15 show and you have plenty of time to get back to the NCL ship.

Give It a Go ! - Enjoyed the Show very much. It was a jam packed audience the time we chose and they were cramming people in all over. They keep the crowd entertained and laughing. It is a quick thing to do while in port with a Cruise Ship and easy to walk to from the ship.

Very Entertaining - I enjoyed this show. At times it felt kind of “cheesy” but I honestly think that is part of the appeal. And when the lumberjacks competed in the various activities it was quite impressive. I appreciated that the stands were covered and heated (Alaska in September is not the warmest, but I was very comfortable during the show).
