The show is good. BUT BEWARE: They "give" you a coupon for $100 off a jewelry purchase, but when you go to the store, the prices are jacked up so much the $100 off is not a bargain.
Great show! Very entertaining! Axe throwing was fun, too! You gotta check it out at least one time in your life!
Like others have said-entertaining,educational about the lumberjack life and a little cheesy. Would recommend for families visiting the area on a cruise and looking for something in port. It is literally at the end of the pier.
It is all around fun. Has humor , showcases their skills and interactive with the audience. I would recommend it to all ages.
It was very enjoyable other than hearding you like cattle. It was not our time very good each time. Good entertainment
The is was just great. The guys were wonderfully. they really got the crowd going and the ax throwing was so much fun.
This show was fun, a little cheesy, but worth the time. We enjoyed it . They also catered to us as 2 in our group have handicapping conditions but they made it easy for us to move around and see from great seats.
Very entertaining and awesome physical display of skills most people never witness. Worth every nickel and then some! DON'T MISS IT!
Very entertaining for the whole family. This was our first excursion and set the tone for fun and adventure for the rest of the cruise.
The show was entertaining and fun. These guys are athletes! I signed the wife and I up for ax throwing after the show. This is in addition to the show. It was a blast! One of the cast, Luke, was our coach and helped us get the feel for properly throwing an ax. My wife hit the target 3 times! She is hooked! We would do this again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended the show and the ax throwing!
Great family fun. It was enjoyable seeing their incredible skills. I liked that they talked about lumberjack skills
Super fun interactive show. We had an age range from two years old to 72 years old and everyone loved it, including teenage boys.
The ax throwing after was very fun as well!
Great entertainment! The show had alot of comedy with a very interesting background to the competition. Thank you!
Very well organized and entertaining show. Full house, but accommodating for more! We have a good vibe!
Showed up for our show and we were randomly chosen to be part of the ace throwing afterwards. Entertaining and good looking lumberjacks!
Fun, family event. We booked this event outside of our cruise and so glad we did. It is a short walk from the berths. The show was filled with lots of laughter and corn. We really got into the spirit, cheering and rooting for our team. The performers were skilled. We then did axe throwing after the show. Hilarious. Owen really encouraged everyone and entertained us all
It's about an hour show. Entertaining and close to the ships. It took us a little while to get our maps to point us in the direction of the show. Just be off your boat at least 15 minutes before showtime. Personally, I wouldn't recommend, although, other of our party liked it.
The show was great! Axe throwing was super fun but I wish we had more time to throw rather than hear the history shtick. All in all would still recommend it!
Super fun experience!! We chose to throw axes after the event and that was a riot! Full of laughs and energy!
The show was a lot of fun and the lumberjacks were awesome. The whole show was a blast from start to finish. Definitely recommend it!
The lumberjack show was very fun and entertaining!! And the axe throwing after was so much fun! A lot of laughs for us beginners!!
So much fun for all ages. Loved participating in the ax throw competition after the show. We would do it again.
This was quirky but also entertaining! The guys made you laugh as they worked diligently to show you their talents of wood chopping through competition
Whitty, clean humor. Nice staff. Jimmy (Doc Holliday look-a-like) was our axe throwing instructor and he was very good. He gave us great advice on how to throw the axes and even gave us tips about what to visit while visiting Ketchikan. We saw Ethan outside the venue in his regular clothes and was super nice. Great family experience!
Very well organised and well worth the money a good experience for all ages, under cover so if raining no problem
Exactly what you would expect - a one hour show with some funny jokes and some impressive demonstrations. Great for families.
Great experience. Fun for all ages. Entertaining and informative. Covered seating in case of rain. Loved it!
Fun, energetic, great for family time! I highly recommend this event for all. Lots of laughs and a great amount of time for the axe throwing lessons, challenge, and show!
You get to see examples of what real logging competitions are like and there is not a bad seat in the house. The show is a lot of fun. We did the ax throwing after the show and it was harder than it looks but we loved it. Well worth the money. The woman who taught us ax throwing was great too.
Great show ,entertaining , reasonable price , the axe challenge is fun walking distance from port, seating is good
