I wanted to plan a whole day of fun for my husband for his 21st birthday! I wasn't sure what to do early there's like nothing going on early (I swear)... Anyways I saw this and he's never been to the circus, long story short... We had the time of our lives and they have decently priced alcohol! They also have a bunch of different little things pictures with snakes! Rides on elephants! You get to watch the coolest acts! You definitely will not be disappointed! And neither will your kids!

Took our 2 year old for the first time and she is not one to sit quietly BUT at the Circus she was a different child completely, she sat and watched the entire show in awe she clapped and her attention was held throughout!! It was wonderful!

The crowd at the Friday show was lighter than I expected it to be. The show was great as usual and all those who were involed in the show were awesome. The kids were a little disappointed that the big bounce house was not put up at the first intermission. They got to play on it before the show began.

Great event for the family, the Syrian Shrine Circus is geared towards families and small children. Before, during intermission, and after the main show, time was allowed for children to get pictures with the bears, ride an elephant or get face-painting. The clowns were funny and in constant interaction with the crowds. The Syrian Circus is always a good show for the money and the Gardens is just the right size venue for the event.

I took my son and friends to the circus to celebrate his 6th birthday. It was AMAZING!! Everything I have ever expected to happen at a circus did, plus some. The kids had a blast and can't wait until next year. The autographs from the clowns was so nice. The kids love looking back on them.

This was a great experience with the kids not only did they have alot to do but they were thoughtful enough to have the clowns sign autographs which helped with keeping the kids active.

We absolutely loved the Circus! It was our twins first circus and we couldn't have asked for better seats or better performers. We especially liked the hometown feel of the entire experience.

It was a great show...they started the show with the tigers and the show continued to stay outstanding!! The whole thing was wrapped around the kids there was an intermission with pony/camel rides and face painting and pictures with spiderman and transformers...it was a really neat show...The only thing that I didn't care for was the music was a little too loud to be such a small arena and I only say that for me and the animals it was a little louder than it needed to be but other than that it was an amazing show and it last about 3 to 3.5 hours of non stop action and it ended with motorcycle stunts...its a must see!!!

My 5 year old grandson enjoyed the day but I honestly don't like that they are still using elephants, horses and tigers in their circus. The tigers almost looked lethargic and I think it is time for the animals to receive better treatment and not be in the circus any more. Also $10 for face painting is outrageous! The acts were good, but next time I will be more prepared for the "extra activities" money wise.

Show was great. However the intermission was 50 minutes long. The second half itself was only 50 minutes. They were stretching out the intermission to sell more food, merchandise: and also camel and pony rides. The face painting was $10, too much. We had our 2 grandchildren, 6 and 4. They became very restless during the absurd intermission. I would not go the circus next year. We went to the Sunday show.

This was my 9 year old daughter's first time at a circus, and my first time in 15 years. Was a fabulous experience, from the pre-show activities, to the amazing acts! It will be a new annual tradition for my family, can't wait until next year!!

The show was very good, but we felt very bad for the animals that had to perform. We would've been just as happy without the poor (half sedated and thin) tigers and sad elephants. In today's age, we should know better as a society than to force wild animals to perform. Other than that it was a nice event. The human performers were very talented and engaging.

My 9yo daughter's first circus. She was smiling ear to ear almost the entire time. As an adult, I was very entertained as well. Glad that there is still a circus to see. No bad seats at this venue.

The Shrine Circus has always been a favorite attraction for my wife and me. Now that we have 4 kids under the age of 4 (our oldest will be turning 4 in a couple weeks), we have made it an annual tradition to attend as a family. The arena at NKU is a perfect venue for he circus, with not a bad seat in the place. The juggler (Tommy Taquilia, I believe was his name), as well as many of the other acts. The lion taking part was a bit sad, since it seemed quite obvious the animals had been given an exceptionally heavy dose of sedatives. Other than that, though, it was a great time and a family-friendly experience!

Best circus we've been to! All the performers and members were so friendly and loved what they were doing to help kids. Having all the activities on the floor during breaks was so much fun for us parents and kids! It made it so personal and we felt at home! What a great cause and a lot of great people making an awesome circus to help kids! So impressed! we will be back next year and many years to come!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time at the circus! The staff was super helpful and friendly, and there were some truly fantastic acts. They really worked to engage the audience and my daughter was totally sucked in by all the magic. My only complaint was that the sound system was EXCEEDINGLY loud. It could have been turned down by half and been just fine.

This was the most caring and friendly circus we have ever been to. Everyone went above and beyond to say thank you for coming. They even made sure that everyone got a chance to ride the animals and get your picture taken with the clowns. We would definitely recommend! !!

We took our 7 year old granddaughter. I can tell you without hesitation this was the best circus I have ever been to. She absolutely loved it. Therefore so did we. The audience was involved in several skits. There was not a boring skit. The very best part was the baby elephant skit. Honestly I would go back just to see that. Also the clown cannon skit. My granddaughter totally fell for it. Ahhhh so fun

This was the first trip to the circus my great grandsons had and they absolutely loved it. The seats we had were perfect, we could see everything. The people working the circus were very friendly and nice. The concessions were a little pricey but it was for such a good cause it didn't matter. We will definitely go back the next time the Shrine Circus is here. And I do hope it is at NKU again, that is the best place to have it !!

We saw the show at the UD arena...not very good more variety acts than animals. Saw TV previews of other Shriner shows and they were much better and had a lot of animal acts!! Can't find any info listed anywhere of the acts for the shows that are upcoming...so it's take your chance.

Overall, great Circus! I like the new venue...NKU gives this event a fresh start in Cincinnati area. NKU is a more family friendly place to have this event. I also understand the animals and their trainers have better accommodations. Loved all of the entertainers and the show was great. Only criticism is NKU herded us in one entrance and out one entrance....only one stairwell to enter/exit??? We appreciate the Circus entertainers....both people and animals.

A true three ring circus with lots of new or unique acts. Kids are able to ride elephants, camels, ponies, or a train car before the circus/at intermission and after the circus. Face painting and lots of clowns. Beijing Acrobats, a Tiger who can walk a tightrope, motorcycle tricks that will amaze, high wire stunts to thrill, pigs who can sing, camels who can dance, trained elephants. . . .and a DOG ACT!! So much better than sitting home and watching America's Got Talent. The kids loved every minute of it!

I thought the Shrine Circus was great. A big value for the money. The grandkids also has a great time. The clowns were dressed to the nines, passed out a lot of balloons and stopped to have they're pictures taken with the kids. Lots of action!

My 9-year old daughter really wanted to go to the circus - she had never been. I remember the circus as a kid, but hadn't gone in years. We had front row seats. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprise. It was very entertaining for the whole family - even our 2 year old. Performers were great. It was a traditional circus, but well done... better than my memories as a kid! Glad we went!

The circus was a good one. The stunts were definitely death-defying & my child enjoyed the animals in the show. I can't say that I've ever seen pigs & goats in the circus before, so that was interesting. My biggest complaint is the length of the show. It lasted over 3 hours because they allow you to ride the elephants & camels, among other things (for a fee of course) during a 45 min. intermission. That was a bit long for kids to sit through, especially ones that missed their nap to attend the show. Otherwise, it was a good circus & we all enjoyed it.

This was the first Shrine Circus I've attended and didn't know how much to expect. I was not disappointed. The ticket, concession and souvenir prices were much more reasonable that that 'other' circus. The acts were good and moved along at a fast pace to keep the kids entertained. The show wasn't overproduced and felt more like a good, old-fashioned circus. Mom enjoyed the show as much as the kids did!

Were approachable, and went out of their way to see everyone. I have never been to an event that I remember each and everyone thanking you for coming. All performances were excellent, and the kids still talking about Spiderman and Elsa's! A great night to be had by all, adults and children alike!!!!!

Truly lives up to the 'Three Ring Circus' hype..so many different things going on that you were always entertained. There were some acts that were 75 feet in the air and no net or mattress...extremely exciting to see the dare devil acts. Would definitely go again and recommend to others. Not to mention 'ALL' the proceeds go to benefit Shriners Hospitals.

We have been to several circus' along with Shriner's Circus and always the Shriner's is the best. They provide non-stop action the entire time along with about 30 clowns who interact with the kids and sign autographs, a carnival with face painting, elephant and pony rides before, during intermission and after show. They didn't overwhelm the kids by having all 3 rings going at the same time, so they were able to see it all.

Saw this. Show 2 Yrs ago. It was better then. Hasn't changed at al. Didn't seem like any of the performers really cared to be there and they were just performing the same motions repeatedly. The clowns were awesome. The half time events for kids were awful. Very rude people . Except the clown. They were very friendly

Took my granddaughter this year for the second time in a row and absolutely enjoyed the circus! The acts were amazing! I always get my tickets early to get front row seats....wouldn't do it any other way. Loved the clown dance off! I hope the animals are treated right. It seemed as though anyone I told I was going to the circus always commented on the cruelty to animals.
