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.

Great show! Good for all ages. Hilarious, thrilling, full of wonder. You'll love it. I'm ready to go back now. One note, bring a cushion, GA seats can be hard. Didn't deter from enjoyment, however.

This is a great family show, fun and entertainment for everyone. We have been yearly for the last 3 years and have never been disappointed! The performers are true to their craft without needing all the modern-day-entertainment bells and whistles. Make sure to get there 1/2 hour early, at least, to enjoy the pre-show. It will make you laugh, surprise you , and you'll leave feeling good!

After seeing a newspaper article about the performance I decided to get tickets for the Saturday, December 31 show. I invited my family, including my two granddaughters. My husband was "less than enthused" at the prospect of attending a circus, but we all attended and our front row bleacher seats were perfect for viewing the show. We ALL were more than impressed by the quality, intimacy and overall wonder of the live performance. These are real people who interact with each other and the audience as part of their Italian " family ". We laughed, cheered, clapped and gave them a standing ovation. (I cried at the end) and we will definitely plan on making this an annual event. This is something which will appeal to every age and was just as memorable as any Cirque performance we have attended in the past, the difference being the proximity to the stage, the reality of the acts, the lessons learned from the performers (try again if you don't succeed the first time) and the love felt by all. Performers from all over the world are part of the "Family" and their artistic gifts are varied and many. I would give this an AMAZING rating!

Loved the show and as always, Nino. This was my 3rd time seeing the show, 2nd time for each of my two daughters (8 & 11) and 1st time for my husband and each of my kids' friends. They all loved it. The one thing that was missing was of course the old ringmaster/clown. Loved his and Nino's volatile relationship. lol I appreciate the change in acts every year. This year was a little less entertaining than the last two, but still had a good time.

Although we missed a few of the previous performers - white faced ring master and lovely horseback rider with piccolini(?) I still got to see my grandkids laugh at Nino's antics...which they enjoy tremendously ! The new show is still fun just different since we've been around for 5 years now. We'll be back next year if they are too!!!

We have seen the Zoppe Family Circus each year it has come to Tucson and will continue to do so as long as they come and we are able. It is amazing fun for children of all ages, including this 77 year old. There is not a bad seat in the house, although us oldsters will want reserved chairs right up front -- can't handle bleachers any more. No lions or elephants, but amazing dogs and ponies, and wonderful human beings showing what our bodies can do. Love the audience involvement!

my husband and I have watched their tent go up in recent years. finally we got tickets and went to the circus. This is the real deal: a family circus that has roots back into the 1840's! from the majestic and magnificent equestrian show to the parents juggling their children feet first, everything about this show IS the greatest show on Earth! Lots of humor, real danger and crowd involvement. I cried at the beginning and the end. We attended the last show , which ended up being Zoppe's last show of the tour! It was the last show with this exact company of performers and they were so earnest and generous. If you've every even thought about going, YOU JUST GOTTA! You wont be dissapointed. This may have been our once in a lifetime chance. If not, then we will go again next year for sure. Have an amazing experience and support this ages-old art form. Bravo Zoppe!

Very talented and hard working people. They absolutely did everything in their power to present a great show and entertain their audience. The seats were great and one could see everything. I'll go back to watch them the next time I see they're in town. Loved the pre-show with the children doing their act prior to the opening.

Nino and his circus mates thrilled us, made us laugh, and created great memories! I took my 8 yr old grandson, my almost 4 yr old granddaughter, and their 25 yr old teacher and sitter. We couldn't take our eyes off the action! Afraid of clowns, the 4 yr old loved Nino, who is not your typical clown! He's goofy and expressive and very endearing! The dog and horse acts were adorable, the aerialists and gymnasts were so talented. Climbing up a tower of chairs he was building, the young performer was incredible! Loved watching the newest generation learning how to be circus!

Zoppe true to its name is "the greatest family circus show" in the USA I have had the pleasure to see. Like the circus shows I have in enjoyed in Europe you forget your everyday and slip into to crafted fantasy world. The acrobats were very good but the clowns reminiscent of Commedia dell'Arte stole the show. We will be sure to attend next year.

This was a first for me. I took my daughter and grand daughter. In this modern and fast-pace world, it is comforting to know that there is still live, family entertainment available for all ages. The setting was intimate and personal. It was truly amazing to see how a set of 150 year old values and traditions held the interest from a six year old to a sixty year old. When the show ended, we all left with the feeling of wanting to join the circus!

I've never attended a circus before, and perhaps I had good luck with Zoppe being my first, but this meets and exceeds every expectation. This is authentic family circus--no fancy lights, no illusion, real performance. Nino was simply charming and engaging, and maintained the attention of the crowd from the pre-show a half hour before, through the time the parking lot emptied. My daughters are 6 and 3, and they were mesmerized by the performance. The show was very interactive, encouraging audience participation while even pulling audience members, etc. There was a bit of everything, and trust me when I say you will laugh, smile, and experience edge of your seat adrenaline pumping stuff. I'll go back again--and despite the fact that they tell you there isn't a bad seat in the house, I'll again purchase VIP seats down front. Best dollar for dollar entertainment out there.

What a great experience! We have three children ranging in age from 3-9. All three of them were entranced the entire time. There wasn't a dull moment. I was worried with it being a small family circus that it wouldn't be anything great. I was so wrong. I think I enjoyed it as much as my kids because they were smiling the ENTIRE time. Everything from the clowns, to the animal shows, to the tightrope walking, to the flame throwing...fantastic. I would definitely recommend and we will definitely go back. What a wonderful show!

I'm not a big circus fan but we LOVE the Zoppe family circus. They incorporate family-friendly humor & old fashioned tricks. The music is festive, the show is laid back, & the performers are genuine. There's a high level of pride in their show & genuine sense of family values. The only animals used are horses & dogs!

We went last year for the first time, we got discount tickets through Groupon. We absolutely LOVED it. It's funny, charming, astonishing, and many many many other adjectives that I'm at a loss for right now. Needless to say this year we HAD to go back. I was more then willing to pay the full price and purchased tickets for my whole family this year for Christmas. Everyone loved it as much as we did! The overall family feeling is overwhelming to me, the kids are laughing and engaged, and the adults are laughing and in awe. I try telling everyone I know the 50 reasons why they have got to go see it for themselves. This will be a new family tradition for sure!

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.

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.

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.

We had been to the Zoppe Circus at New Years in 2010 and 2011 with our 4 friends from LA. It was excellent both times...especially Nino! Our friends came out again from LA (2 couples) to keep up the tradition. We were very disappointed that the original Nino was not there that night (he had a family conflict) and that the performances were not as entertaining. While there was a few good new acts, the performance overall was flat. We won't be back next year based on the 2013 performance.

This was a delightful treat for any age. Great attention was given to children, both inside and outside the ring. We had seats in the front row, so got the closest experience of any circus I've been to, and it was so worth it! There's some audience participation, but everyone got into it, old and young. The horses and dogs seem to be well loved, so it wasn't a difficult experience for this animal lover. There was some dropped juggling, but they tried again. The bow and arrow act was nothing short of amazing. Nino the clown and his tiny son were the stars, by far. I'd go to see this again and again!

Everything about this show was well done, not perfect, but even mistakes were smiled about as they started over. It made for a relaxed presentation and gave the impression that family was more important than a perfect show. The children added to the charm and fun of the evening. They were natural and funny. At the end of the show, the family greeted the audience with affection wishing them a Happy New Year with sincere smiles and hugs. It was a delightful way to begin the new year.

3 generations of my family enjoy our annual circus treat!! My favorite parts are watching the faces and laughter of my grandchildren (5 to 15) and the wonderful interactions with the Zoppe family. The Zoppe's keep the audience engaged and laughing, My family has been watching their family grow and entertain us all year after year - and somehow this year even topped the other years.Do not know how they do it, and hope to continue to build memories every year by watching them. Only wish I could get my tickets now for the 2014 show!!

I brought my daughter and her children to see the Zoppe family circus at the Chandler Center for the Arts. Not really knowing what to expect, I emphasized to my grandchildren that this was an Italian circus and how amazing it was that we had an opportunity to get in touch with our heritage(ok, they are 1/4 Italian as compared to my 100%) The children, ages 2,4,6 had a fabulous time. All the acts, which included skilled acrobats, trained dogs and horses appealed to children of all ages, truly. Every performer seemed to enjoy what they did and put their hearts and souls into each performance. We heard laughs and gasps and cheers all around us. It was an intimate setting under a single tent. I was vey happy to have been able to experience this lovely little circus through our little ones' eyes.

I've been bringing my grand kids for three years and this was the first kiddie show I took them to. Even for the kiddos I prefer the evening show. Even if we have to leave at the intermission...still worth it. What I did not appreciate was not being able to choose the seating in the preferred area when I purchased my tickets. I therefore assumed it was seats chosen as you arrived in those 2 rows only to be told where I had to sit after I arrived.

I really didn't know what to expect, a big top in the middle of a field? I mean, its almost 2014 and it reminded me of a circus from the 1960's, you know what, it was almost exactly that! Very up close and personal, I absolutely loved it! Can't wait to take my kids again next year. We are going to make it a family tradition. Well worth the price of admission.

Hands down, the best circus we have ever been too!!! It was interactive, entertaining and priced well. My 6 year old and my husband were laughing out loud. I will be back!!!!

The circus was great! I took my family to see them after hearing they were in town and everyone had a blast! My 2 little guys were completely entertained and enthralled the whole way through ( which can be a task somedays!) the entire show. Amazing and entertaining for all ages and for a good price.

Many failed attempts during acts. Not very polished. Clown acts went on way too long. Just not enough quality entertainment for the $18 ticket price.

I loved the experience of a family circus. They all put on such great performances. I took my 10 year old nieces and they couldn't stop talking about what a great time they had. I will be bringing my grandchildren to Zoppe Family Circus next time they come to the Chicago area.

Zipper circus was fantastic! There were no lions, tigers or elephants but they weren't needed. The trapeze couple was phenomenal!! Everyone did an amazing performance! Looking forward to it returning in the future,

It was at least 10 degrees hotter in the tent than outside at 3:30. We left at intermission because the attractions were slow and repetitive for 2 year olds. Entertaining, but we could of skipped it.

Few opportunities are available to enjoy the kind of old world circus the Zoppe Circus provides. Attendees will get a close-up and personal experience in an intimate setting by a group of performers dedicated to please and surprise the audience. Lead performer and Zoppe family patriarch who serves as clown, performer and overall inspiration for the group charmed the audience as did the other members of the circus family. We took our 5 year old granddaughter to their last performance in Chandler and we all left thrilled and with warmed hearts. Thank you Zoppe family for a great experience!

Went for the first time this year and we all loved it. I will be going again next year. I recommend to everyone to go and enjoy a very entertaining circus with your family and friends. Nino the clown is hilarious. All the acts are wonderful.

Lots of fun for the entire family. The kids really enjoyed it and I found the talent to be amazing. It was far more than I expected. Loved the old school ring and the nostalgic feel of the entire event. I heard that the show was different from last year....this encourages me to make it a point to attend it next year.

Awesome as usual. My grandkids laughed so hard I almost cried watching them! They think Nino's part of our family! Looking forward to next year already!

A cold night, but a warm presentation. We enjoyed the small nature of this family circus. It was really good entertainment!
