Delicious and Delightfull.
TOUR INCLUDES: All-you-can-eat fire grilled salmon and accompanying menu items, access to Liarsville historic exhibits, live melodrama and entertainment, gold panning and all the gold you discover. Round-trip transfer from cruise ship dock. FULL DESCRIPTION: At the foot of the White Pass, nestled beside a waterfall, discover Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp and Salmon Bake, so named for the journalists dispatched to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush who fabricated tall-tales from this very location. Your Liarsville experience begins with an all-you-can-eat alfresco feast in the forest that includes WILD Alaskan-caught salmon freshly grilled over an alder wood fire, Chilkoot Chicken, Panners Pasta, Liarsville Rice Medley, Prospector Pete's Reindeer Beans, Sluice Box Slaw and other fresh salads, cornbread, coffee, lemonade, and blueberry cake for dessert. Beer and wine are available for purchase. After your meal, mosey on over to our gold rush era trail camp. Here, you'll enjoy the waterfall and the authentic exhibits of Liarsville. Browse for souvenirs in the Fancy Goods Gift Shop. In the Hippodrome a cast of sourdoughs and dance hall girls will entertain you with a hilarious melodrama and a poem by the "Bard of the North," Robert Service. You'll be taught the art of gold panning, then be set free in the Liarsville gold fields, where you are guaranteed to find that precious metal that drove men and women wild with gold fever! You are guaranteed to find gold in every pan! Once you've made your fortune, take time to wander through the camp and visit the Fancy Goods store, bordello and laundry tents to view the antiques and vintage clothing left behind by the miners and ladies of the evening. Help yourself to complimentary cookies and apple cider and have your picture taken with one of the dance hall girls or the camp's lovable mascot, an Alaskan malamute named Dolly.

Delicious and Delightfull.
This was one of our shore excursions from a Royal Caribbean Alaskan Cruise. I can tell you it was worth every penny. I just wish we had more time there. The meal was delicious from the scalloped potatoes to the salmon and smothered cornbread, every bite was delicious. The host is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. His sole and heart is Liarsville. The show is hilarious, the cast/crew whatever you want to call them are so talented and funny. The panning for gold is secondary, the people is what makes this place amazing. Totally worth the time, it's a great experience and I would totally recommend Liarsville!

Fun theatrical experience, good for kids, perhaps underwhelming for adults
The actors were AMAZING. The show was fun. The whole thing is a little cheesy/touristy, but fun. This would be GREAT for families with young kids. They can learn a little bit of gold mining history, learn gold mining techniques, watch a fun musical show. The salmon bake was pretty much the same to salmon bakes on other shore excursions if you're here on a cruise shore excursion. Food was okay. We came as part of a larger tour (Best of Skagway on Celebrity cruise) and there was way too much time allotted to this stop. We waited for quite a while for the bus pick up, which put a damper on the experience. I wouldnt call this a must do but it's definitely a good option for families.
