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
