Absolutely Amazing! The history of this location and the items in the collection is incredible. The enthusiasm and knowledge of the staff as well as the historic society's passion to maintain authenticity is heartwarming and makes the experience even better. I cannot say enough good things about our visit to Circus World. At the risk of overpopulating this hidden gem, I highly recommend going to Circus World. Here are some more detailed thoughts on specific attractions: The Circus Under The Big Top was a jaw-dropping show. The value of the show far exceeded the price of admission. The variety of acts allowed something for everyone and entertainment for all ages. The three member family that juggled and did aerial acts was my absolute favorite. The costumes, animals, theme, and performance from each act was top notch and high quality. The ending horse act was a little awkward, but it was the Circus; I don't hold the entire experience against it. Circus Snacks! I adore the fact that you could enhance your Circus experience with traditional circus snacks: popcorn, peanuts, cotton candy, and more. It was such a great touch. Gorgeous scenery and landscape surrounds the grounds. The land is well cared for and maintained which adds to the richness of the experience. The river was clean and beautiful to look at from one of many relaxing benches throughout the site. The historic buildings are preserved and maintained very well. It was very exciting to walk through history and see what it would have been like in the late 1800s/early 1900s when the Ringling Brothers circus was operating out of those exact buildings. The diverse and authentic artifacts coupled with ample signage and historical information made for an enjoyable and educational experience for all ages. I am so glad that these buildings still exist and are being preserved. The Hall of Wagons took my breath away. It was so fun to learn from the guided tour (included with admission) about the variety of wagons and carts that were out for display. The tour gentleman was very kind and knowledgeable. Learning about the difference between Circus, Carnival, and Wild West shows was fascinating and an unexpected historical topic. To be so close to these pieces of history gives new appreciation and meaning to "the circus is in town." The fact that some of the carts were local while others were from across the world added a lot of value to the experience. Railroad Cars: The two silver coaches that are on display are so magical. To see these vehicles that brought joy, respite, and laughter to so many across the US is an opportunity that cannot be missed. It is a great photo opportunity too! Nostalgic sounds can be heard throughout the site. For those with auditory sensitivities, I recommend caution and some noise cancelling ear protection. Some of the musical pieces can be very loud and stimulating. I enjoyed the opportunities to hear some of the tunes and also to retreat to quieter locations on the property.
