5 Ways to Make the Most of Your First Visit to the Circus

Family Circus

Is this your first time attending a Family Circus event? You are not alone.  The following tips will help you prepare for the event and have a good time.

1. Verify Circus Dates, Time, and Location Before the Show

This may seem obvious, but with multiple show times in different locations and countries, it is better to be safe than sorry! If you have any problems or purchased tickets for the wrong position, please contact us right away. The sooner you contact us, the better, since shows tend to sell out quickly.

2. Arrive Early

We recommend arriving early because the crowds increase as the show time approaches. Our Ringmaster and several of our performers welcome you as soon as you walk in. Arriving early also allows you to avoid long lines for refreshments and get the best parking location. The show is an interactive experience with plenty of chances to laugh and be amazed.

3. Build Up the Excitement

You can build up excitement in your children by checking out the photos on our website. The gallery page gives you a visual snapshot of some of the acts that you will be viewed under the arena. Many children LOVE surprises, while others like to know exactly what they are doing. This is one way we cater to all interests and needs.

4. Bring Binoculars

Even if you have excellent seats, children like looking through binoculars for a closer look! Binoculars make it easier to see the circus and capture every moment without missing a beat.

Important Notice about Circus Animals

The St. Paul Osman Shrine Circus show does not use endangered species in any of its act. It is a family oriented, family priced acrobatic / thrill show showcasing a multicultural parade of circus families from around the world. Five years ago, the Circus transitioned away from exotics to this new format; and the public reception has been overwhelmingly positive. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
