Hadi Shrine Circus

WOULD GO AGAIN IN A SECOND!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!

I love taking my grandchildren to the circus. My seats were awesome. I had one issue at the circus this year. They had a pig and a dog you could have your picture taken with. It was $10. My granddaughter didn't want her picture taken with the pig just wanted to pet it. Now she had ridden ponies twice, elephant once and had her face painted. The lady said she couldn't just pet the pig. There was no line, we were not trying to take a picture with our phones. This 6 year old little girl just wanted to pet it. I understand rules but that was a little much. As for the Ford Center, I don't like the seating. I have a very bad knee. The rows of seats are so close together I cannot bend my knee that much. I can't stand up for the entire circus. So I have to buy better (expensive) tickets to be able to even go. I cannot be the only person that has had this problem.

Ford Center is to small. 3 rings at one time not a good idea. $5.50 for pop and 5.00 for a snow cone.. Robery,plus I paid 150.00 for 5 ppl. Not worth it more of a magic show. I felt like all I seen was equipment everywhere.

Took the grandkids...first time to a circus of this magnitude...had a blast

My Family and I loved the Circus. We hope to make this an every year event.

Had not been to the circus in many years . This show was 3 hours which was a bit long for children - especially the young ones. There were a few acts that were obvious "fillers" and certainly could have done without them. We took a 4-year-old and some acts were more than she could comprehend - ie the high wires and motorcycle jumping. Would have liked to seen more animal acts especially for kids. A disappointment was $10 cost pre-show to ride the elephants for 5 minutes... a bit expensive and $7 to ride the ponies. Overall a good show but long.

Had a wonderful time and our 3 year old was amazed! Was a wonderful family activity for all of us. She and her Dad rode the camel, elephants and ponies! Lots of fun!!!

I took my 4 year old granddaughter and she loved every minute of it.

Loved the event. Loved the Ford Center. The whole family had fun.

We had a great time and awesome seats. We had to walk a lil bit bc there isnt very good parking down there, but overall I'll give it a 7/10. We enjoyed all of it really except the horses. We got a lil bored through it just seeing them running in circles. But we will go back!

I dont know who had the best time, my kids or myself. I was totally amazing and cannot wait to see how you are going to top it next year!!!!

It was the best yet. The only complaint was two women yelling and cursing at each other behind us. One child accidentally hit the other in the head with a light-up toy.

The circus was a fun event, however it was a little too long for a three year old. He got very antsy and was ready to leave after an hour and a half.

IT WAS A GREAT SHOW!!! I TOOK MY 7 YEAR OLD SON, WHO HAD NEVER BEEN TO A CIRCUS BEFORE, AND HE LOVED IT!! WE WILL GO AGAIN!!

I had expectations for this event, and they were met by the intermission. We had a great time and family event!

My girls got to ride on the elephants and they loved the acrobats.

The seats were amazing! It could not have been better. We were right on the isle and in the front row. The trapize people were flying right over our heads. My daughter was in awe!

We had a blast at the circus! Great family fun. Will definately be going again next year. Our two-year-old son was amazed at all the sights. He especially loved all the animal performers.

I liked the circus this year, there were several new acts & I always enjoy the HADI clowns, I liked the dirt bikes in the metal ball cage, but i just wish that they hadn't wrecked, although i am very glad that they are ok & that nobody got hurt! I also enjoyed the pictures with the lemur, bear, snake & the pig! I love the elephants, they are so cute & talented!!

the circus was amazing. I will be going back next year for sure.

performance was kind of long, different stuff this year added, good show as usual, the spot lights on some of the high acts was very bright in your eyes so you couldn't see across the ring

We have wanted to attend the Shrine Circus on Thanksgiving weekend for years, and just never took the time to do it! We did this year and it was a great show, definatly a nice place to take the whole family, make it a tradition, we were very pleased!!! Fun for the whole family!!! Way to go Shriners on job well done!!!! We will go back!

My kids love it that all they talk about when the show was over. I think price was little high go some stuff but ok.

I loved it as much as my grandkids did. Lots of fun for everyone.

This was very good circus, for my daughters was very funny and for me and my wife too. This price is very good. I hope that the rest of the people enjoyment this event like us.

Wonderful event probably go every year with my grandkids my older children enjoyed as well

Lots of fun for the whole family., Bring plenty of money, as the kids will want EVERYTHING!

This was our grandchildren s first experience to see the circus. They couldn t have been more excited and thrilled with the show. This will be an annual event. Thank you Shriners!

The show it's self was a great show. However, I was disappointed that any activity you wanted your child to experience, like riding the elephant or ponies or face painting was an additional $10 per experience per child. We paid close to $250 for 5 tickets which I thought was outrageous but I wanted my kids to experience the circus. I know we won't be attending next due to how expensive it was, which is a shame because the Shriners do a lot of amazing things for commmunitites everywhere.

It had everything you would want in a circus! It had elephants, tigers, and bears--OH MY! It was a fun event for all ages!

Loads of entertainment! Very talented people. Lots of acts were up high so I wouldn't recommend seats in the first few rows or you will be looking up a lot. We sat in front of the acts ...would've been disappointed if we were on the back side. We also sat in the middle so we could see all three rings. Elephants and motorcycles were our favorites. Actually the second half was much better than the first. There were some generic acts. Three hours is pretty long for a four year old so I wouldn't recommend a 7pm show with young children. We all kinda got tired since they turn the lights off. The pre show is really not worth it...everything is $10. Literally every single thing! Kinda steep for a 30 second picture with the ninja turtles or a picture with any act. Overall I would recommend this circus!

We have been attending the circus nearly thirty years and we love it.

This is not your run-of-the-mill circus! Fast-paced, never a dull moment. Our family ranged from age 4 through age 87, and we were all on the edge of our seats from start to finish! Worth much more than the ticket price! Will make this an annual family event!

Good performance. So much going at once it was almost hard to appreciate all the talent that was there.

Haven' t been to the circus in year. Decided to take the family this year. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

Kids loved it, very good show !!!! I haven't been in a couple decades, we will definetely be going back next year

The circus was fun but It was a one time thing. Our seats were closeven to the first ring but couldn't really see the last ring.

This is a great show to attend with your family. Many talented people!

I had never been to a big circus. I have to say, it was even better than I expected. There was so much to see. I was amazed from beginning to end. Well worth the money.

Our little grands were mesmerized by the circus. It was outstanding!

I've been going to the circus with my children for the past 22 years and it has gradually become a foreign acrobat show and juggling show. Not very interesting for little ones to sit for 3 hours and watch people bend ,flip and climb on each other. The circus has lost its wow factor that used to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Overall great experience. I took my 18 month old nephew who was entertained throughout the 3 hour event! He especially enjoyed all the animals! Would definitely recommend for any family with you children.

We enjoyed the circus acts and would recommend it for all ages. The seats we had were great and worth spending the extra money for. The only act that I did not really care for was Johnny Rocket. The very little kids may have enjoyed parts of his act but it seemed to last way too long to keep their attention. While I appreciate the money spent mostly goes to a good cause, I did feel that a family with more than one child would certainly be strapped for cash when they went to the arena to enjoy some of the "extras" such as face painting, riding the elephants & camels, picture taking with the snake & alligator, etc. EACH extra was $10 a piece. All of this plus the coloring book, glow stick or toys, and refreshments make for an expensive afternoon with just one child participating.

My family drove from Indianapolis, IN to attend this circus and it was well worth the drive. Hadi Shrine does an awesome job at getting great acts.

Show was very good. Good having some new acts especially the cats. All of us enjoyed it very much.

Had the best seats ever. Couldn't believe it was 10$ for each thing. To ride the elephant and ponies i understand but for a face paint or a picture its too much. Also missed the chimps and the bears. This year the "big finish " wasnt. Even the kids looked at me and said is it over? Just didn't compare to previous shows I have been going for over 20yrs.

We've been going to the circus for years. This show was by far the best we've seen in a long time. Great time!

I just thought it was to expensive for this to be a fun family event. I thought prices for the tickets were a little expensive but hey it was a family outing. What really got to me was the $10 a piece elephant rides. Way to costly and had 6 other people on the ride at the same time. Won't be going back for a FAMILY EXPERIENCE!!!!!

My son and I really enjoyed the circus this year....best ever!! We really liked the entertainment with Mater and Chicago boys alongside the typical circus animals and acts.

My 2 oldest went, 3 & 12, and they had the best time!! It's all they could talk about. My parents took them. We sat and looked through pictures while they told us what was going on. The pure excitement in their eyes was great!!

Seats were great. Food was somewhat expensive! Entertainers were full of energy! I'd recommend this circus to all. Shriners are AWESOME!

We took our 5 & 2 year old grandchildren to the Hadi Shrine Circus at the Ford Center this year. I must say that the Center is a great venue host for this event. And this year's circus was the best we've ever seen. The kids were glued to the acts for 3 hours straight, the performances were all class acts, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful evening with the kids and enjoyed the show as well!!

very professional athletes. job well done and money well spent.

Way too loud, even our children were covering their ears, and too long - almost 3 hours

We had a great time and hoping this will be a family tradition each year.
