Nothing brings out the kid in all of us like the circus!
At least that was the case for me when I took my children to the Big Apple Circus last week. To say we had a blast would be an understatement. The quintessential New York staple is an experience like no other. I felt like a kid filled with excitement and awe as I watched the lively, 90-minute show.
From awe-inspiring trapeze stunts to ponies gleefully galloping around the dirt-filled ring (don’t worry, the circus is known for their humane treatment of animals), the high-energy show is jam-packed with mesmerizing performances and tricks for all to enjoy.
And the best thing of all is that every seat in the house is awesome. For more than 40 years, the circus provides an unmatched level of intimacy that makes it such a treasure and tourist attraction for families. Seeing the glittering costumes and delightful animals up close and personal adds a thrilling layer of excitement that’s hard to top.
Located near Lincoln Center under a big top tent, the 10-act circus not only features death-defying feats for eyes, it also boasts some of the best nostalgic refreshments and delicious bites for your taste buds. With fresh-popped popcorn and billowy, organic cotton candy made from pure sugarcane, the mouthwatering snacks are the cherry on top of a fun-filled circus outing. Plus, parents can enjoy refreshing signature cocktails to ensure a lively time.
Additionally, the show offers special performances for autistic audiences and provides discounted tickets for underserved schools.
If you’re looking for memorable, wholesome fun for the entire family, Big Apple Circus won’t disappoint. The show runs now through January 27, 2019.
