Get all your rowdy friends together and join in the Alaskan axe-tion in this amazing competition of skill and strength. The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show reflects upon southeast Alaska’s rich logging history and comes to life with thrilling displays of strength and agility. These world champion athletes wearing spiked boots & hard hats compete in 12 athletic events that utilize seven-pound axes, six-foot razor sharp saws, tree climbing gaffs, and souped up chainsaws. Your cheers will turn to roars of excitement as axes fly through the air, men free fall from tall trees, and then run atop spinning logs floating in the water. The show is held in a covered, heated, and cushioned grandstand that includes a rustic lodge gift shop and full concession. This will be one hour of action, excitement, and laughs that is unique to all of Alaska.

The Lumberjack Show was a lot of fun & a lot of laughs. The audience was divided into 2 sections which made for a lot of loud cheering for your team. I would recommend this show. Full review by AlmJAX

This was our third trip to Ketchikan but we had never been to the Lumberjack Show. On this rainy day, it was a fairly short walk from our cruise ship and the audience was under cover (thus dry). Th… Full review by RandyRoss

Questions & answers

Q:
Is it best to see a early show or a later one?
A:
I don't think it really matters - just depends on what else you have planned for the day. We walked all around town then went to the last show ( I think 4:00) and it was very entertaining. …

A:
The seats are first come first serve. They are benches/bleachers that you sit on, much like seating when you are watching a baseball game in your home community. You can choose where you want to sit because they are not actually individual seats. You can book through your cruise line or you can book through their website. We found there was only a tiny difference in price between booking thru the cruise line and booking directly. We did not book our tickets through our cruise line both times (no reason really).
Q:
Is this near the princess port in Skagway?
A:
As others have noted, you won't find this in Skagway. Depending upon where your cruise ship is docked in Ketchikan, it can be as little as a five minute walk or as much as 10 to …
A:
As others have noted, you won't find this in Skagway. Depending upon where your cruise ship is docked in Ketchikan, it can be as little as a five minute walk or as much as 10 to 15 minutes. The show is well worth going to. Just arrive a minimum of 30 minutes before to have a chance at getting a good seat.
Q:
I plan to buy tickets ahead of time, just in case they sell out. Do they give refunds if the cruise ship is delayed/skips the port?
A:
I doubt they give a refund. However, I have not heard of a cruise being so delayed or missing a port that you would need to worry about that. I bought my tickets ahead of time on their …
