This was definitely better than that other LARGER circus. It was more intimate and engaging. My kids loved all of the performers. The clowns were very funny and the acrobats were amazing. Even the illusions left us wondering "How'd they do that?". No regrets whatsoever. I would absolutely recommend this as an option for a family outing.

I took my kids - 2 girls - 12 and 8, their Godmummy on Sat 16. We had a great time - Acts were funny and love the Chinese Acts, the Trapeze acts. The lady doing the rope gymnastics was good too. the interation with the crowd was good also - impromptu.

Venue and seats were awesome!! There are no bad seats at this venue. The show was fine, would have enjoyed seeing more animals. The stuntmen were good but a little boring and too much of it. The clown as always was great, it was better years ago when I used to bring my children.

About the Ticket Supplier: Big Apple Circus

As a leading presenter of family entertainment and a not-for-profit performing arts institution, our nationwide performances and community programs have made our 34-year history far-reaching and full.

It all began in Kent, England, in 1974, when American entertainers and Big Apple Circus co-founders Paul Binder and Michael Christensen became juggling partners and took to the street corners of Europe. Their comedic juggling act was a hit, and they soon found themselves on the stage of the presitigous Nouveau Cirque de Paris. They returned home to America in 1976 with a vision: to entertain and improve the lives of millions. One year later, they found a site for the first tent-raising in Battery Park, New York, and went on to create the award-winning, not-for-profit Big Apple Circus.
