Hadn't been to a circus in decades and expected a real letdown from circuses of old. But I was pleasantly surprised. True there aren't the lions, tigers and bears of old but the few animals they did have (camels, elephants and horses) put on a good, respectable show of their talents without abuse of any kind. And the acrobats were incredible! Aerial, ground-based and cage (motorcycles). Few clowns but those that were there caused a chuckle. Costumes and all performers seemed clean, well kept and professional.
I was very pleased for the entertainment for the cost. We went on the discount night ($9/ticket) and that provided excellent value.
