Murat Shrine Circus Tickets

Circus was great. I could do without the pimping of the toys from the ringmaster. All the acts were cool, though.

All the performers were great in their acts. Being on the back side of the center ring was good most of the time but didn't always have a good view of what was going on in the ring due to blockage by part of the act - e.g. the dogs on the motorcycle blocked our view of the tricks being done & the mother elephant definitely blocked our view of the baby elephant doing tricks. We sat on the floor, second row up. My grandkids loved going to the circus!

We had great seats show started on time and their was something going on until the end. Music was loud at the start but was adjusted right away.

My Circus experience included 4 adults and one child (age 4). We all had a great time. The show was filled with amazing talent and was captivating enough to hold the attention of the 4 year old the entire time. Our favorite acts were the quick change, the lion and tiger tamers, the juggler, and the acrobats. There were a few things that I was less than impressed with. #1. The vendors selling popcorn, snow-cones and souvenirs kept walking up and down the isles, and stopping to sell items, obstructing our view. #2. The ringmaster stopped the show twice to hawk their souvenirs. I understand that this is another method of money making from them, but I didn't feel that it was appropriate for them to try to sell the children on these items. #3. The price of everything was out of this world. We paid $8 for an elephant ride for our child. $4.50 for drinks (the 1.50 20 oz Gatorade I bought from the vending machine inside the coliseum was expired.) $6 for the inflatable slide $4 for airbrushed tattoos $3 for cotton candy $6 for a light up souvenir. Granted you don't have to buy any of these items, but you want the circus to be a memorable event for your child. It would just be nicer if some of these things were to cost a bit less. Overall, even if they don't make any changes at all, we would still go back another year.

The only major problem of our experience was that the performers rarely faced our side of the arena. We saw a lot of backsides and that didn't seem really fair to our side. Our favorite acts were the trapeze artists, the quick changers, the motorcyclists in the cage, and the elephants. Not much action from the clowns although the cannon shoot was the favorite with my grandkids. My four that did the elephant ride after the show (we were cut-off at intermission and had to wait) were excited about that and my granddaughter loved the tigers and lion (who had to have been drugged. Never saw such slow-moving, lazy animals). The commercials for the toys during the show was odd and the crowd didn't seem too excited about much of the show. Probably would not do it again.

We go to at least 2 circus shows every year. Some years even more. This show was one the top 5 shows we have seen. Every act was good and a couple were great. We laughed, we were amazed, we were impressed, and we were entertained from start to finish..

I thought that the show was awesome. The cost of the activities was extremely pricey and really not very affordable to most middle-class families who live on a budget. We were very pleased with the overall experience and really loved our seats.

The Shine Circus is an event worth supporting, no doubt. It seemed like they were trying to fill up time with the parade of Shriners and mini go carts. The circus itself was entertaining, but not as well attended as I was expecting.
