Reviews of Big Apple Circus

We weren’t sure what to expect, but we were delighted! I usually don’t like circuses because of the potential cruelty to animals, but in this case, the acts were all about agility, and beauty and showmanship. It involved horses and and cats! A...continued

Not just for kids. I mean it. Nice cocktail area with full bar. A really terrific two hours.

Always surprising. Amazing acrobats, some trained horses and rescue dogs, with a grand finale of trapeze artists. Just two 45 minute sets and intermission, so young kids don't get bored. Our seats were in mezzanine but center. I think that's...continued

I will always love the circus. Great experience.

This is a low key, very fun circus!!!

The circus was wonderful. It is family friendly, funny, amazing. My 3 year old granddaughter was entranced and so were her parents and grandma! Seating allowed for perfect views of amazing acts. There were none of the somewhat creepy features...continued

Very good

The circus was fantastic. But the parking situation was a fiasco. Beyond National Harbor's rip off parking prices, none the the ticket machines in nearby lots or garages were working. Traffic was backed up for blocks. Both entering and exiting was...continued

My nephew loved everything about the circus!! He couldn’t stop talking about it. That’s a lot when your talking about an 11 year old boy who’s usually sitting playing video games. Thank you so much for putting on a show that is so much like what I...continued

Awesome Ringmaster beautiful voice, awesome show. The penguin was hilarious and engaging as she moved through the audience. I would have loved more animals but having the cats was different and they were so cute and did amazing stunts. All the...continued

Wow! What a fun night! All the acts were top notch. A good old-fashioned type circus under a tent with all the glitz and glamour of a full band, a decked out ringleader, a few animal acts (dogs who were very happy and energetic and some horses...continued

A great show (although small) with plenty of audience interaction that kept me laughing the entire time. Not so many animals but for the most part still a great show.

Loved it.

This was sooo much fun!! My husband and I went to the last Barnum and Bailey show and it was absolutely awful!! This was fantastic. Totally kept us entertained....The nice part was to see how loved the animals were.

What a wonderful event. The contortionist and the wire walking family were absolutely amazing. All of the performers were great. We enjoyed ourselves so much.

We parked in Alexandria and took the ferry over. We walked from the National Harbor...continued

It was great. My grandchildren loved it.

This is fun, but overpriced. Not a big time circus, but it's really nice to be so up close to the action. My five year old play-date was delighted, and that's what really mattered most.

Kind of fun.

I haven't been to the Circus in over 40 years and this was truly delightful! My favorite was the trampoline gymnasts and how they made extreme movement seem so effortless. My 83 year old girlfriend turned to me following the segment and said,...continued

MAGNIFICENT EVENT! A fun evening out!
