Don’t waste your $
by Ripped Off on 4/14/24Alliant Energy PowerHouse - Cedar RapidsWhen an event advertises special packages to do certain things, you’d expect those things at baseline… When an event advertises even more basic level things, you’d still expect those, right? Well… the only reason our family wanted to go to this was for our toddler who loves elephants. We paid for the higher end package which was to include the opportunity to see and ride the elephants before the show. When we arrived all that was there were a bunch of overpriced rides on jump houses ($10 for 3 minutes) and slides ($10 for one slide down). The circus had no animals before, during, or after the show. If the only reason you want to go is to watch acrobats, by all means, but I’d still suggest spending the extra $20 a ticket and go to a Cirque show, if that’s your thing.
