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.

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.

What a great show and great value!! - On our visit to Alaska, I was badgered by my wife to visit the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show in Ketchikan…. Worried that I was going to see a Bunch load of muscular lumberjacks with their shirts off chopping wood for an hour…. It took several weeks of pressure for me to finally give in… We got off our cruise ship the Sapphire Princess which was docked what can only be explained as on the main hughstreet… the lumberjack show was a 2 min walk. There was quite a big queue to get in , but was well organised and moved quickly. Once inside, be careful not to pick a bad seat in the middle bank of chairs as there are some metal poles which will ruin your view. The seats were ok and was good and covered from the rain, and also had overhead heating. Plenty of clean toilets available too so don’t worry. Not sure if it was a first… but you could also get beer and wine to drink for the show. The show was great fun and light hearted, and the lumberjacks properly got the crowd worked up shouting for their winning team. I have to say those guys must be super fit to do what they do … mad skills for all of them. Really enjoyed the show and the competition, and the atmosphere was electric. Don’t rush out as there is an opportunity to get pictures at the end and a huge gift shop. Well worth the small amount of cash for the show… Recommended

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).

Entertaining and fun - If you are looking for something to do in Ketchikan I think you will find this show highly entertaining. Years ago my cousins went to this show and I decided if I ever made it back to Ketchikan I would go. Yes at times it is corny but that shouldn't diminish the skills these competitors have. Very impressive with the axe throwing, log rolling, and sawing. I think it is reasonably priced and fun for the whole family.
