Great circus. Very entertaining. The whole family had a great time. The only thing keeping from 5 stars is the $$. Admission price is ok but all the extras are very costly
Saw the circus 30 years ago, so my memory may have faded but that’s the word I’d use to describe the current circus - faded. Not a lot of energy from the performance- the acts seem to small for a 3 ring.
They make the show engaging and funny! My family really enjoyed it. Great experience!
Wish i didnt spend so much on the “front row” seats would have had a better deal on the bleachers! Circus was great but for the location was really small for them. Being front row on the far left side really felt like i messed everything on the right side, and being on the ground level had the people selling stuff in the way about 30% of the time, or the crew people in the way about 10% of the time, or the silks/rops in the way about 60% of the time. But all in all still enjoyed being there and watching them perform!
Wonderful experience for the entire family! Our son was engaged the entire time. Devices were the last thing on his mind.
While individual acts were good , some even great , the overall tone was one of commercialization . The prices for cheap toys and brief rides were extraordinary.
It was so wonderflmto be up close contacts and see the next generation of Hanford performing
The show starts exactly at the scheduled time so don’t be late or you could miss the very beginning. I was expecting more acts. Many of the jokes fell flat. There was one that stung where the ring master asks a little girl from the audience (maybe 6-7 years old), if she’s married, she says no, then he asks her if she’s looking. That joke did not sit right with me as a parent at all. I know others felt the same way from the crowd’s reaction. It was a bit messy and just ok for a small circus. The animals looked sad. During intermission they charged people for pony rides and it was cash only. Be prepared to carry cash for mostly everything otherwise your kids will be sad to see other kids riding ponies and they can’t because they don’t accept cards as a form of payment.
The purchase of tickets was easy and the service at the event was great. Truly a great experience and will do it again. Onsite staff was great.
