We went to the lumberjack show as part of a fourth grade class trip and had such a great time. The MC split the audience into two cheering sections to support either Chase or Owen, which immediately got all of the kids engaged and excited. The biggest crowd favorites were the pole climb, log roll, and axe toss, plus the fun of being lucky enough to sit on the winning side. The kids absolutely loved cheering for the competitors, and it was so much fun watching them get excited about a sport most of us knew very little about beforehand. The show runs a little over an hour and does a great job balancing action, humor, and audience participation. It kept the students entertained the entire time. Since we attended as part of a group outing, I cannot really speak to pricing or the full customer service experience, but every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Plus both Owen and Chase hung around for autographs and photos with all the kids. There was also plenty of room for our five motor coaches to park easily. Overall, this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend. read more

What a great value and entertainment for all ages! We gained a lot of information about the logging industry too! The MC/owner was so friendly and told us stories after the show about his log rolling wins! A must-see show when you are in the Mackinac City area!! read more

Loved the show. I loved the interactive part and the upper Michigan vibe with the Lumberjack rustic man appeal. It was very entertaining. I am very glad I went to see the show. It's great for kids and adults. read more

I've been to Mackinaw a few times and always have driven by. This time around the kid and wife were interested in watching the show. There is one show a day at 7:30pm. Ticket booth is also the concession stand. In the concession stand they sell pop, water, sweat shirts and these cool wood carved bears. Both Iron jacks (lumber jacks who participate in ALL the events) are brothers from New York. The Lumber Jack show lasted about 90 minutes and was quite entertaining. It's a family event and worth going to see at least once. read more

I have to say that after a trip to this beautiful area of our country, I didn't expect for the highlight of the trip to be a lumberjack show. I was wrong. This show was a blast. Not only did it show impressive skills, but taught a good history of the area. They got the audience involved and even pulled my 2 year old grandson onto the stage which he loved. I highly recommend going to see this show. read more

This was my husband and daughter's (2 years old) first live lumberjack experience and they were thoroughly entertained for the duration of the show and when leaving my daughter was repeating "more lumberjack" and "more show." They have a lot of audience participation and humor in the show. The entire experience was educational, informative, and fast-paced. The show is good for all audiences. We even saw one of the lumberjacks around town the next day and he stopped to talk with us for a few minutes. read more

We had a great time at the Jack Pine Lumberjack show. It was fascinating to learn about the world of lumberjacks. Most of our group of 7 knew nothing about if before the show. I left feeling educated and entertained. The show wasn't very long or very polished, but it was fun! read more

We had driven by a couple of times and when searching for things in the area it popped up with great reviews. We called to see if our dog could come since he is traveling with us and can't be left alone and they said it was fine! We purchased tickets online and arrived a half hour early so we could get a good spot for our dog, Rowdy. They had us sit at the end of the bleachers, next to the grass and it worked out well. We could see the show and so could he. It was quite entertaining and actually, informative too! Lasted a little under 2 hours and we felt it was well worth the money. Great for all ages! read more

We went to a show on A Monday. It was not expensive at all. $11/person. The owner and main show guy checked us in and gave us a special discount...just because. Really down to earth and fun people. The show was really well done and fun. Something great to do besides the touristy Macknaw trip. They also give out coupons to the oldest and best fudge shop in town...Marshalls. Half price to everyone else with it. Their show is seasonal and wrapping up about First of October. Highly recomend! read more

Absolutely fun and entertaining. Highly recommend this unique venue and the show. A combination of competition and comedy. Slightly corny but great for all ages. read more

So fun to see a live, tourist-pleasing, family-oriented show return to the Mackinaw scene. Goofy humor and hijinks combined with genuine talent entertained us old-timers, as well as thrilled the school-age kids in attendance. A great value built out of a simple storyline presentation of lumberjack history and skills. Kudos to the two young men who truly impressed everyone with their brawn and enthusiasm. Best part was watching the kids scramble for autographs on wood scraps after the show. read more

Super cool place and the staff is really great. Polite and fun. Take the kids, take yourselves. Please support these guys

This is an amazing show! My family and I have gone every summer for five years, and we never get tired of it. The skill level of these Ironjacks (lumberjacks who can do all the events well) is beyond impressive. Highly recommend for any age. We've told many of our friends who have gone and all really enjoyed it. You can find $2 off coupons all over town including at your hotel and online. Just outside Mackinaw City, a short, easy drive. Don't miss this! read more

Very impressive! Don't miss this attraction. The lumberjacks are very skilled demonstrating their expertise in a contest for each event. The commentator provides a history for each event with a bit of humor added. Four kids are selected from the audience to participate. At the end of the performance, audience members can meet the lumberjacks and get autographs. The show is a very entertaining attraction that's made more fun with audience participation. Highly recommended! read more
