They have some adult themed items that are fun to look at as the humor and satire are great. The store is quite large and you easily could spend as much time there as you would in a museum. There are also a few bins and racks with deep discounts if you can find them. This store is also located very close to the cruiseport.

This is one of the larger shops at the south end of the port area, just north of the Xmas store. Their children's section prices here are pretty standard. You may get lucky and catch a sale. When there are six ships in port, this store might be a congested nightmare but we were there with only one ship that holds 2000 people so shopping here was a breeze with no waiting to pay for everything.

Let me first tell what happened. My 7-year old daughter was looking at one of those leatherbound…read morecribbage cases - something not fragile or breakable at all. One of the employees (bald and Caucasian) walks over from the counter, snatches the booklet out of her hands, and aggressively snaps at her saying, "Keep your hands to yourself and don't touch anything! This is not a store for kids!" Note, this is a store with Star Wars posters on their doors and jigsaw puzzles. My daughter and I were a bit shaken, but I said a quick sorry, and then it hit me - this kind of behavior was completely rude and inexcusable and I felt like I should have defended her and told him to back off. But then I realized if it happened to us, chances are this was not an isolated or unique incident. The same will or has already happened to others who visited this store. If they continue this kind of behavior, they are going to hit someone's else's nerve who doesn't have the same restraint that I did. So if the same happens to you and your child if you do come here, know that what they're doing is wrong, and absolutely fight back if not just for yourself, but for the rest of us this has happened to. To gain some perspective as well though, hundreds of cruise ships with tourists visit this store regularly. They have probably had incidents where kids mishandled and broke some items, so they are very defensive about it. But here's the thing - if you're in this business, you should also be educated enough to know how to deal with this respectfully with customers. Put a sign up saying "Children not permitted. Thanks for your understanding". Or you say, "I'm so sorry, we've had some incidents before and prefer children not to handle the merchandise. Thanks". That's it. Anyways, I hope this is a lesson in customer service to this store because they do carry a lot of very nice items. But many times it's not what you're selling that determines how good your business is - it's how you treat your customers.

Upon entering the store, I was pleasantly surprised by the selection. The other souvenir shops all seem to be the same with goods likely made in China and not a whole lot that is local.

I was looking for some Alaskan-made soap and was able to find it here, as well as a beautiful coaster with native art of a crab on top.

My nephew and mom love everything Christmas so we had to stop in. They have some very lovely gifts and what I liked most is that while they had some more pocket friendly items from oversees, they also had a nice collection of handmade and locally made items. I ended up getting a hand painted ornament that was done locally and while it was quite a bit more expensive, I like to support small craftsman when I can and this store made that easier. My family ended up with some nice ornaments, tea, collectables, trivets, and other things. I would definitely return.

I felt as some others have stated the staff did not do any greeting of customers and were not friendly at check out. They simply took your items and rang you up.

Some of the goods are local, but not many, and you'll pay a nice markup due to the shop's easily accessed location. The shop is large, clean, spacious, and well organized. This could easily be your one-stop-shop if you're looking for Alaska souvenirs. They have keychains, shot glasses, t-shirts, stuffed animals, tote bags, rain gear, snacks and sweets and more. Sockeye Sam's also has the largest selection of raincoats, umbrellas, and sweatshirts, all staples that a lot of cruisers often forget to pack. I appreciate that the store sells various sundries (Advil, bandaids, etc.) and small toiletries, too. If you're arriving in Ketchikan via cruise ship, you will walk right by this store. They pretty much have everything you need to take goodies to the folks back home. Pro tip: visit a local grocery store if you want to find really cool Alaska souvenirs. I've purchased locally made hot sauces, candies, and other goodies for a fraction of the price that they're sold for in tourist stores like these.
