    Would Not Recommend

    by JK on 11/27/21Empire Circus - Brooklyn

    Totally not what we expected. This was a sub par amateur show at best. Don’t waste your time or money.

    Terrible

    by Disappointed on 11/24/21Empire Circus - Brooklyn

    The ads say fun for kids of all ages but I wouldn't even bring a five year old here. We stayed for five minutes. Total waste of time getting here and money for the tickets.

    Not worth it (waste of time and money)

    by Sub on 11/23/21Empire Circus - Brooklyn

    The VIP tickets get you a goody bag with cheap plastic toys (ring, sunglasses, etc.). There is one small stage where there are performances and the rest of the very small space is pretty useless. Some carnival games, but no attendants or prizes. It’s claustrophobic inside.

    Would not go again

    by May L on 11/23/21Empire Circus - Brooklyn

    Too crowded and quite small. Looks thrown half together with things broken. It’s new but the games don’t work. People were walking around in crowded area without masks and nobody said a thing to them. It needs a lot of work unfortunately.
