This is a no brainer , don’t miss it! - You don’t want to miss this one. It is very enjoyable and funny. These loggers really have personality in addition to impressive skills. We were throughly entertained. The audience is encouraged to participate and those burly lumberjacks are very generous with photo opportunities after the show. Incidentally, the axe throwing opportunity is a lot of fun if you opt for it.

Fun Lumberjack show - This show was lots of fun, a bit “corny” but great to watch. If you’ve never chopped wood, you can’t help but be impressed at how rapidly these guys can chop and saw through stumps and logs. It’s a workout! And don’t miss the axe-throwing lesson.

Fun for all ages at The Lumberjack Show - Great experience. We participated in the after show Axe Throwing Competition, which was great fun. My husband won the competition and received a Lumberjack Calendar as his prize.

so much fun! a TRUE Alaska experience - Of all the things we booked on our Alaska Adventure, we knew this would be a ton of fun and it WAS! it's an EZ walk from where the ship docks in Ketchikan, to the show. Coming from So Cal, we had no idea "timber sports" were even a thing! It's a fun competition between 2 teams and the audience really gets into it. There's snacks and beverages available. SIT IN THE FRONT! And cheer your guy on loudly.. you might win a spirit award! ALSO, pack / bring a flannel shirt to make it more fun (we were surprised that hardly anyone else was wearing flannels!). Of course there's also a gift shop when you exit.. (and I enjoy my lumberjack coffee mug every morning).

Enjoyable Experience. - Enjoyed the show, great audience interaction, actors and moderator had energy and was able to stay dry under the roof. Also like how close it was to the ships and town center.

Timber Sports at its BEST! - My wife and I booked this show during our Alaskan cruise. The show was very entertaining and educational. We learned more about the logging industry specifically for tree harvesting. But more importantly we had a great time! I would compare this to a professional wrestling match set on a logging site. The commentator was funny and very entertaining. The loggers were all professional Timer Sportsmen who were extremely good at their profession. I would highly recommend this as a must see.

Good Show - there are several options for this be careful about your choice, we thought we did the basic show but found out we were signed up for the ax throwing after the show, there is another option for a crab fest and then just the show. Our ship was late to port and we missed our 10am show time, viator was no help, I called the show runners and they said come at 12 no problems. the shows is very enjoyable and we even had fun throwing axes

Great family competition - Very family-friendly show that really kept the audience on their heels. The fun, back-and-forth, competition pits you cheering for one team side and rooting against the other team. Seating is comfortable and great to see from any angle, despite the cold and some poles in the way that make you move a little. Concessions have small selection and the gift store has many souvenirs to consider. Staff are super friendly and transportation is a call away.
