Ketchikan Tourist Trap or Total Blast? The CHEESIEST Show in Alaska
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
We're visiting Ketchacan on our inside passage cruise aboard the Coral Princess where we saw the cheesiest show in all of Alaska and loved every second of it.
I would say younger kids will love it, but we brought a 12-year-old and and he really dug it.
We can wholeheartedly recommend the Alaskan Fish House.
