It was cheesy and dumb fun!! Very lighthearted, very interactive, and an enjoyable family experience.
My young grandchildren loved it and I loved seeing the joy on their faces! They said it was one of the best thing they did on the trip.
Fun show! Getting the audience involved.
The city is super cute. Lots of shopping and cute lil shops. The lumberjack show is probably the highlight of the city so it’s a must do. And most conveniently located right next to where ship docks.
This was a fun non excursion experience in Ketchikan. The show was impressive as the tasks done look very difficult. There was lots of audience participation and great jokes along the way. I thought the price was a bit high, but still an overall good and fun experience. The lumberjacks are very talented and the host Lasagna Joe was charismatic and funny. It doesn’t hurt that the lumberjacks are cute too. This is a family friendly restaurant experience that I do recommend. Fun.
Show goes rain or shine. Audience is under covered bleachers. Good hot dogs. Very friendly cast and crew. These are indeed athletes. We enjoyed the show.
The Lumberjack show is a must see if you are in the area. Fun and energetic! They guys sure work hard and are amazing. But kinda pricey for the length of the show.
If you have never seen a lumberjack show, you are in for a real treat. The show is set up as a competition between two teams. There are a lot of corny jokes, cheers, and prizes. The loggers compete in several wood chopping, axe throwing, and log rolling events. It is good family fun.
What a show, it was exciting and great to watch. With both sides of the seating areas voting for their team either America or Canada, added bit of fun to it all. From the lumberjacks climbing the very high poles, water logging and to see how long they could stay on the logs, to axe throwing and sawing. Great fun and great entertaining show.
A stop in Ketchikan was part of our cruise and since our time was limited, I thought this would be a good diversion. We were not disappointed! Now, the show is a bit kitschy, but the host shares a lot of the history of Ketchikan and intersperses a great deal of humor. The performers are really impressive athletes and while acting may not be their forte, their lumberjack skills are truly impressive. We had a great time and considered the price money well spent.
