Big Apple Circus

Go see this show. My grandson said the clowns must be the stars of the show because they keep showing up! My 2 year old granddaughter was enamored with all of it. All 6 grandkids loved it and I was able to afford the reasonable tickets! N

I only wish they had more big cats, elephants ect. But todays climate won't allow that...The show was really wonderful. The Walenda's wire performance, well worth the show. The two clowns entertained the children and had you laughing all the way home. I had seen this circus many times before and was NOT disappointed.

#Bigapplecircus has reinvented the circus for me and my own children!! The show is affordable and amazing!! Playing now at Franklin Mills in NE Philly!! And a special shout out to the clown team that restored my faith in clowns (pennywise recovery team!!)

We had a great time fun for everyone!! Small venue so you don t miss a thing.

Big Apple always delivers a great show. Non Stop entertainment. Lasted 2 hours. Got my money's worth. I go as often as they come to town.

Wonderous and amazing! Well worth the money! You don t want to miss this!

It was amazing! My 3 & 7 year olds loved it. Highly entertaining, go see it!

The lose of animals and clowns makes today s circus not very entertaining.

Great acts and performers. Up close to action and interactive.

It was a great show. The tent is small...no bad seats. When a couple of clowns came into the crowd to actually talk with guests before the show I thought "This could be different". I was right! We were there with three grandchildren. All of whom loved the show. There was a nice mix of pace, thrills, laughs and feats of skill. It's hard for me to imagine anyone not enjoying the circus on this scale.

My 10 and 7 year old sons loved this circus. I also loved it! The venue is small and intimate and just perfect. The acts were all amazing and the clowns were funny. Very talented people in this circus. I highly recommend this circus. The only negative was there is only porta potties and no real restrooms.

So glad this amazing circus returned to the Atlanta area! We ve been going for over 10yrs.!!! We took our 5 grandkids ranging from 2 to 16yrs. and they all loved it!! Can t wait till next year! Do wish they would come back to St. Mountain park though - not as muddy when it rains! Can t say enough about this show - Love it! Love it!!!!

The Big Apple Circus is something not to miss. All seats are good seats and the preformers are excellent, fun and very entertaining. We loved it, laughed alot and were on the edge of out seats alot too. Fun for all in an intimate setting.

Big Apple Circus was certainly entertaining. It is not your conventional circus. The band, vibrant colors and sounds lets you know that the circus has come a long way. My girlfriend and I went and we enjoyed ourselves. We felt like kids as we watched all the amazing performers. If Big Apple Circus comes to your town you should make it a point to see them . You will not be disappointed.

A fun time for grand kids who had never been to a circus but disappointment for me. Where was Grandma the clown??? The ad said he was back. Always my favorite of the Big Apple Circus. However, Mr. Joel and Skip were very entertaining. Some acts were very routine (dogs, ponies, horses) but the acrobats and the Wallendas were thrilling.

So glad that the Big Apple Circus is back. We have been going since about 2003. It is a great show for families. This year the show was phenomenal!

First of all - great value and if you live anywhere near Verizon - what a treat to have this so close. The show was very creative with some amazing I can t believe it stunts, acrobatics, and clown humor. They even get the audience involved. Go go go. Best entertainment than you can find anywhere in the northern suburbs. Well done!

I loved this show! It felt very old school and the entertainment was spot on!

Big Apple Circus lives up to their name. All the performers did an excellent job. You guys rock!!!

Entertaining, funny good time. I do wish I saw an elephant but the dogs were super cute

It was a GREAT show!!!! I would definitely LOVE to see it again!!!!

This is a small venue, all seats are excellent! Great for all ages.

A great family, fun night out. My little daughters had a wonderful time and laughed the night away.

Loved the actual circus performance but we were late b/c could not find where to go. Circus is not at Verizon but at a location near. When i bought the tickets was told to go to Parking Lot A. Not the usual lot A and there was no signage as to where to go. Many were frustrated and late.

Fantastic family outing...great performers..fun atmosphere...more intimate venue making almost every seat in the house a good one.....heart stopping finale by the super Wallendas Very nice staff ... my 5 yr old grandson was a little sensitive to the loudness of the band ...we were sitting close ...(they are excellent) So we moved to seats in the back...the staff found us and brought us ear plugs for my grandson. ...Last row seats are even good!1 Vendors are nice as well...more reasonably priced for those lighted kiddie toys than other Venue s....Free parking as well in the parking lot at Franklin Mills...It was a really nice outing!

A must see! Clowns made me feel like A kid a kid agian. Animals where great! My boys were in awe!

It was a truly awesome show, must see event both me and my wife enjoyed

It was the perfect size for an up close and intimate circus experience. The Ring Master and comical characters (clowns) were excellent and the daring performances were exciting. We also enjoyed participating in the extra activities before entering the show....the kids got their faces painted and went on pony rides during intermission. It was an all around fun time! And the best part, affordable!

The show was amazing. It was great for kids and adults. Entertaining from start to finish. Snack bar options were good and lots of things for kids to do before and after show. Pony rides, meeting the performers, face painting and taking pictures. Can t wait for it to come to Philadelphia again!

Very family oriented.Clean surroundings. All seats terrific. Great for everyone.

Very few animals and not worth for the value for money

Hi, the Big Apple Circus (I myself did not go*) was apparently a big hit! I sent my sister (40+yr old) with her (2) 20 year old boys and (1) my 10 year old girl - and they all loved it. I got rave reviews and they loved the seats (they were front row off to the right side. The ticket purchasing was extremely easy, pleasant, user friendly and printable, etc. Note: they would ONLY go if there were no animals...I went online to reviews and stories to read that there ARE animals but that thank God long gone are the days of abused, starved, beaten animals and THIS circus has a few well kept owner loved certified specialist checked pets :) We were very happy about this!! Thank you for bringing back the 'Circus' without the Sadness. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

It was a GREAT time!!! The animals were SOOO CUTE and I really enjoyed how the performers interacted with the crowd!! All around AWESOME!!!

Great location & easy to get to on the T here in Boston. The show moved right along with great acts. Great to see the children get called out to have their 5 minutes of fame. Everyone enjoyed the show. Hope they come back to the same location next year. My grandchildren will be old enough to bring the Big Apple Circus next year.

We splurged on front-row seats (which ended up being reasonably priced!) for a 3-year-old and 5-year-old. So worth it for the looks of awe and wonder on their faces! The show pace is fast, with no act taking too long and boring the little ones, and the clowns in between acts kept the momentum going as well. The performances hearkened back to what original circuses must have been like under the big top, without motorcycle "daredevils" and other acts seen in today's circuses. This is a MUST for the family!!

It was the first time me and my son went. The whole show was amazing. It was so funny and it kept you engaged wanting to see more. I can't wait to see it again next year.

The first half was better than the second half. The second half was riddled with mediocre entertainment by clowns and their water bit took longer than it should have. It felt like an entertainment at a 5 year old back yard birthday party. We were also given a small pamphlet that stated that ALL performances are in their climate controlled Big Top tent. We went to the last show in Somerville, Massachusetts and as soon as we went inside to look for our seats, everyone there was complaining about how hot it was inside. I addressed the issue to one of the ushers and he said, This is our last performance so we took out all the air conditioners. I paid over $200 for our tickets and I believe that I should not have to use a piece of cardboard (that I received from the ticket lady) as a fan to cool my kids down. Disappointing. The Wallendas were phenomenal though.

Surprise gift to my boys on Mother's Day. My kids enjoyed. Fantastic thrilling experience watching Wallendas family crossing the wire. Excellent different stunts.

We haven't been for a while - brought my twin 16 yr old boys and 12 yr old daughter and we all loved it!!! They do such a good job - I recommend first row if you can (the horses may even stick there nose in your face for a quick pat), even though there's no bad seat in the house -- A+++

I love the circus and Big Apple is fantastically! Great fun for everyone

I honestly didn't expect we would have so much fun before we went there. Everyone in the family enjoyed every minute of it. It is a must-go family event.

After watching "The Greatest Showman," of course the kids were interested in seeing the circus. I was skeptical -- from what I remember from seeing the circus once as a kid (back in the 80s), it was mostly spending time in a tent that smelled like a barn, lots of clowns, and not the interesting acts that make things like Cirque du Soleil fascinating to watch. Turns out, the Big Apple Circus is PERFECT. I mean, truly PERFECT in that every act, every performer, and the sequence of events is just right for a family with young - and older - kids! Mom and Dad were thrilled, kids were enthralled, we got to see the Flying Wallendas -- and all was timed just right. There's a good hour of acts with wonderful variety, a 15-min intermission, 45 more minutes of amazing acts, and then most of the cast meet with the audience after the show.

This year's edition of the Big Apple Circus was spectacular - we enjoyed every individual and group performance. Even the two clowns were wonderful. And the circus isn't just for children - my wife and I are at the opposite end of the age continuum. We had a blast and can't wait for next year's performance.

Thank goodness the Big Apple Circus was rescued and is carrying on business as usual. My family and I have been going to the BAC for over 20 years. This year's performance did not disappoint--loved it. And the final act--the Wallenda family! All I can say is: GO!

A great family show! My boys really loved the show. A must see! Such talented performers!

We are not huge fans of the circus, but the Big Apple Circus is really special! Magical performers...our 5 year old was over the moon. Highly recommended

The new venue in Somerville is much better. Your able to drive in, park for free. It has a bigger space for the pony rides. But its always a fun time for the kids.

The Big Apple Circus is the absolute best circus. It's small and intimate while also feeling so much larger than life. Highlights were the highwire act (7-person pyramid!) and the flyers (landed a quadruple somersault - only one of TEN PEOPLE EVER to do it)! Tickets were well-priced and an excellent value. Go! Take your kids!

Everything about this circus is spectacular. It's great for younger kids and adults also. My sons been going since he was 2 and is amazed every year.

Was amazing, we had a very good time.we loved .the just one thing I didn't liked. The little pony for pictures, I feel so sorry for him have to stay still for so long for pictures.

The BAC puts on a great show. The clowns (with no makeup) are hilarious. There were lots of different acts: jugglers, acrobats, aerialists, and more. There is a horse show in which the essentially unrestrained horses circle the ring following verbal queues from their care-giver. The same lady gave us a short show with rescued dogs having a blast jumping, flipping, and playing together. The live music with each act was great. There was face painting for kids, sparkly concession toys, hot dogs, popcorn, everything circus!

This circus was amazing! Thought I'd miss the elephants, but the horses were beautiful and the dogs so cute! But the real stars were all the other acts! Clowns so funny, really entertaining, The Wallendas, just breathtaking, contortionist, skaters, flying trapeze, acrobatic and juggling acts.... all superb! Very entertaining. Keep the circus alive people and go buy a ticket!!!

Kids had a good time. Very well organized. 2 hours will go by quick

Took my very active 2 year old grandson and he was mesmerized. The talent in all the acts is truly amazing. We will go back again.

The set up was very professional and the acts were amazing. Well worth the money.

My 5 and 7 year old grandchildren were wowed...they loved the acts...each and every one up close...they didnt fully realize they had the honor of watching the legends, the Wallendas perform. The kids watched the movie The Worlds Greatestest Showman 11 times and this was their dream come true! It brought back memories for me of the grand three ring Barnum and Bailey extravaganzas with side shows, unique people, animals galore at the old Madison Square Garden in NYC...

I've never had my 3 year old be able to sit through any hour long movie and tv show. When we brought him to the circus he sat transfixed the whole time. Now a week later he is still asking me about where the clowns are and when the circus is comming back. We all loved it.

The Big Apple Circus was incredible!! Such a wonderful family event & so exciting! Everyone was so nice & even took pictures with us after the show. Such an amazing experience! I highly recommend going to see it for yourself!

I attended the 4 o'clock show on 5/6/18 with my daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed the show from start to finish. This was my daughter's first time EVER going to the circus and she is still talking about it. The ring master was very good at getting the crowd going for the performers. My daughters favorite part were the clowns. She stated to me that they were really funny and cute

I'm so glad the Big Apple Circus is back. It was a completely magical experience. The move to Somerville was a smart one- ample free parking right outside the tent. The addition of the photo ops and pony rides added to the experience, and getting to meet the performers after the show is something my son will never forget.

Where else can you have your mind blown at age 62? Nik Wallenda and family 50 feet away, and chatting with people after the show. A really stupendous, up-close circus. Not a bad seat in the house so moderately priced tickets are great

I ve taken my family to previous big Apple circus with the elephant and other animals. But this year the family and I enjoyed it even more because there were too many WOWS :-) .. The kids were amazed and couldn t keep their eyes off the performers. Great great show

I attended with my daughter and grandchildren......... It was wonderful. We all thought it was a fantastic show. The staff were so friendly and helpful...... they made the kids feel so special.This was a show especially intended for autistic kids.... The volunteers were wonderful and kind. Thanks for a great time

This Circus was small, but packed with entertainment. It was fun and very enjoyable! My only complaint was the food. Terrible.

It was one of the greatest circus I every seen, all of the acts were great.

I do miss the other animals though enjoyed the horses and dogs. The nerve, dedication, comedy and talent displayed was amazing!

The show was overall amazing me and my family saw it three times while it was in Philadelphia.

I absolutely loved the show. It was entertaining and the acts were amazing. We even got to meet some of the performers after and get pictures with them they were all very nice.

The 2018 Big Apple Circus is amazing and not to be missed. My wife and two kids were thrilled, and it's very cool that the performers hang out after the show. Thank you, Big Apple Circus.

Awesome show, entertaining beginning to end. Clowns were GREAT!

Fun family event. Talented performers. Nice close venue

Enjoyed the show. People and staff were all very nice. Not a bad seat in the house.

My family was very skeptical about going to the circus but all members loved it! Very funny and entertaining.

I went Thursday evening with my daughter and 2 grandchildren ages 9 and 6. We had a wonderful time, small intimate setting. kept all of our interests in the 2 hrs we were there. Very reasonable ticket pricing - we were able to get front row tickets in a 4 pack with a discount. Good time for all! Highly recommend!!!!

It was nice for a small circus, I was not sure what to expect. There could have been more games or funnel cake. Where we sat it was freezing. The performances were good.

The show was ok. I'd never go see it again. I appreciate the fact that it didn't have elephants or tigers /lions being used as entertainment. Though they had horses and ponies and dogs. The show was... Ok but it was a one time visit

Fun, entertaining and exciting 2-hour show with a 20-minute intermission with first-class acts in the intimate setting of a climate controlled environment (air condition) under a real Big Top! Although the elephants, lions & tigers are no longer a part of any circus venue the Big Apple Circus still provides animal acts with horses & dogs which the grandkids really enjoyed. The two clowns, yes just 2 clowns, were fabulous entertaining before the show and in between the acts. The highlight of the Big Apple Circus was the high wire act of the world famous Wallendas! Their 7 person pyramid walking across the high wire is as suspenseful & exciting as any performance I ever have seen. The ringmaster, clowns & performers for each act came out after the show for photos with them for free! Just go! Take all the kids, grandkids, parents & grandparents they'll all have a good time & see a great show! Tickets are reasonable and all seats provide a good view (though there are some places where the poles sightly obstruct the view) even the least expensive seats in which my family & I sat. Concessions & souvenirs were movie theater prices (high) but this was one of the special times/days with the grandkids so we splurged & grandkids got what the wanted within reason....all went home happy. All in all, it was about $300 for 7 of us which included tickets, concessions(hot dog, fries, drink, popcorn, cotton candy & ice cream) plus a souvenir for each of the 3 grandkids. Also, there was no charge for parking since it was set up in the large parking lot at the Philadelphia Mills Mall.

the circus was a lot of fun. the entertainers were wonderful

I took my grandchildren to see the circus. They were both obsessed with "The Greatest Showman". This was not the Barnum and Bailey Circus of my youth. They were all very talented and good. It was pricey. It lacked the excitement. I missed the 3 rings, the elephants, the lions and tigers, and especially the side show. there was something about the strong man, the man who swallowed swords, the bearded lady. It was the circus. I suppose this is all we are left with. It wasn't the "greatest show on earth"

Amazing for not only children but adults as well... had an amazing time and my son and I will never forget this night!!!!

Big Apple circus was phenomenal. Our grandkids were thrilled.

Absolutely amazing Circus!!!!.I will recommend for everybody.My kids was so happy WE ALL LIKE IT GOOD JOB GUYS!!!

The show was wonderful,exciting, never a dull moment!

boring! Sorry to say....The Soul circus was so much better! Getting front seats was a waste of money! Get the cheaper mezzanine seats. Not worth $65.00 bucks!! The ring master was not exciting. Only horses and dogs were in the acts. My 5 yr old daughter yawned 4 times. Definitely our last big Apple Circus show!

I purchased ring side tickets for my family and it was amazing!! I've been taking my daughter to this show since she was 2 and she's now 9. I've also gone when I was a child. I tell my friends to take their children because they wouldn't be disappointed

This one ring gem has entertained my family for almost 10 years. Great talent crisply executed. Only negative is portapotties.

Great show. The clowns were not scary and their gags were entertaining. Just right for young children.

Don t miss it Boston Great atmosphere , fair prices and free parking Performers are amazing To see the Wallenda troupe is a wonderful and thrilling experience Complete with meet and great after show!

I had such a good time. I even thought of buying another ticket to watch it again. It could not have been better than this.

I'm so glad the Big Apple Circus is back. Amazing performers, as usual. They can do things I still do not think are physically possible, and I watched it myself. Well paced, extremely entertaining. I look forward to attending many more years.

The one thing I found about Big Apple Circus is the employee's were wonderful. From the concession stands to those who assisted you to your seats. Very polite and welcoming. I noticed how caring the workers were with those with disabilities. Assisting for them very patiently and not in a rough nasty manner. And as for the show itself. Outstanding!!!!!! On a personnel note to those who don't like animals in circus's: I have owned horses all my life and know what it takes to care for them. I have seen abused horses and and other animals and have helped in get them back to health. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANIMAL ABUSE HERE! When the horse show started I Instantly I took notice of how well taken cared of the the horses were!! You can tell the woman loves and cares both her horses and dogs!!!! Many thanks for having those 2 shows. The acts were fantastic and loved how they make the audience feel apart of the show. Yes, it is a show. The performers put their life and well being at risk with each show. A Big Thank You to all them and those who work behind the scene.

Performances were good but a lot of mistakes could have been a lot better expected more from the Big Apple Circus

We go every year. Great show. Not just for kids parents love it too!

My boys loved it! They want to go back again. My son went from fearing clowns to wanting to shake their hands at the end of the show!

We were in 3rd row, circle stage is great! Up close is place to be!

Had a great time brought my son who has autism so he doesn't like loud noise or crazy lights, and he was jumping up and down clapping. I have never seen him have so much fun out in public. I would definitely bring him again.

Big Apple Circus is amazing! The Performers are top notch and the acts are entertaining. I loved the fact that they still employ real musicians - it really makes all the difference!

The show in itself was amazing, and it was made even more amazing because of the accommodations that were given to our families at the autism-friendly show. My son was in awe of the trapeze acts and the horses. Please continue to do this special show every year! We can t wait to go back!

Great show, the only thing is they started about 40 minutes late.

Went with my 5 year old and a friend of his. The kids couldn t stop laughing. The show was amazing and well worth the money we paid.
