About as much fun as you can have in public with your clothes on. Constant smiles and amazement. This is my third year and love it just as much as the first time.
My grandkids, ages 12 & 9, enjoyed the Zoppe Family Circus. It is an old style circus --very low tech. The acts are good, but not outstanding. It took a very long time to get started and there was a long intermission which enabled them to sell concessions and souvenirs. I emphasize "long" because the bench seating on wood bleachers was tight and uncomfortable. What the circus has going for it is the enthusiasm and charm of the performers and the small venue making everyone feel close to the action.
We had a wonderful fun afternoon at this show! Very personable, close up and entertaining. Really loved the clowns and their fun bantering with the crowd! The fellow balancing the wine filled glasses on a sword while climbing a ladder was unbelievable! Plenty of other acts and fun for all ages, we really enjoyed it! :)
This is third time I’ve gone to the circus and each year they add more to the show. They have the usual acts that are original but always entertaining. My daughter and nephew had the best time.
We are going to make this an annual event for our family. We loved this antique circus. Every act was unforgettable. We didn’t expect it would be this good! The teenagers were even impressed!
Great show, funny, old world family atmosphere! Can’t wait to go again!!!
My 79 year old Dad, my teenage daughter and son, my elementary boy and my husband and I all loved the show! We were all smiling and laughing the whole show through! We would go back in a heartbeat!
I can't stop telling my friends what a wonderful experience this circus delivers. When stepping into the tent you are transported to a different time and place. Then the show begins and you are awed by the talent displayed! The clowns are clever, nuanced, and they pull you in completely. Especially Nino! Some acts are expected like horses, dogs, high wire, acrobats. And others are so unexpected like sword balancing! table twirling! and drummers. This is a holiday tradition I will never miss!
When I was told about this circus I was thinking something modern. When my family and I pulled up to the location and I saw the tent I was immediately taken back to my childhood. This is what a circus is. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.
My family and I enjoyed Zoppe's Italian Circus on New Year's Eve. They provided an AMAZING PERFORMANCE of Acts that left us with a standing ovation. There were several acts that were funny with the clowns especially Nino. You can see these performers are very close to one another. As an Italian, I enjoyed hearing the language spoken to remind us of our days living in New York City. Take your kids and enjoy a 2 hour event.
Grandkids very upset Nino wasn't part of the circus. I understand family problems but we buy our tickets early and expect a full show . Nevertheless they enjoyed themselves and we'll be back for our 7th year next year too.
I took a friend to see this circus on New Years Eve Night. It was the best New Years celebration we ever experience. Started our smiles at the warm up at the front of the tent before the show started and never stopped smiling all night. My friend could not stop thanking me for introducing him to the Zoppe Circus. Take the time and spend the money to go see this circus. You will remember forever.
It was our first time to see Zoppe family circus. What a pleasant surprise. Outdoors, under the big tent. These folks put a lot of effort into their performances and the result is one of the most entertaining shows I've seen in any venue. The small one-ring format is perfect for "up close" experience with the performers. Clowns, acrobatic skills, humor, and audience interaction. We'll definitely attend again next year when they return.
Great family fun. Real talent. Really enjoyed the small circus atmosphere.
Wonderful, intimate experience, seeing traditional circus acts up close, as they used to be over a century ago. Incredible acts, entertaining performances, well worth the cost.
The circus exceeded my expectations. I took my daughter for her birthday, just the two of us- it was magical. Not in a big production way, but in a timeless, huge hearted way. I will be back with the rest of the family next year- and every year after that!
The show was significantly better than expected. Even though the venue was small, the circus was huge. It was great to sit so close. We brought out snobby 9 and 10 year old nieces to show, and even they were impressed.
This is now on my "annual event" list. A wonderful evening where when your cheeks are not hurting from laughing, your jaw is hanging open in amazement. Talented and versatile entertainers each wear many hats to keep you delightfully entertained from start to finish.
This circus is simply beautiful, funny and very entertaining. We sat in the VIP section so it was very up close and personal. Highly recommended. Thank God there are circus people left in the world!
Incredible and wonderful! Personal performers interact with crowd. Just a special time for our grandchildren!!
