Only gave rating of two stars because the circus did entertain my 4 year old granddaughter. It started late. It was very poorly organized and the acts were so-so...and where were the clowns? There was not interaction of clowns during any performance. The chimpanzee...we saw him/her briefly cross a ring to allow people to have their picture made with him/her and that was the only monkey/chimpanzee. The tightrope walker was more of a clothesline walker and I have never been to any Circus where there were no trapeze artists. The most exciting entertainers were from Chicago and they were enthusiastic, engaging the crowd, while they jumped rope and tumbled. The popcorn was stale, the Pepsi was so watered down it had no taste and intermission (half-time?) was also poorly organized. After intermission there was one act left...the motorcycles in the cage...so out of a scale from 1 to 10...a 3 will be gracious grading. Will not attend another Shriner's Circus...very disappointing. Will find another venue to share with our 4 year old granddaughter.

Favorite moment: Toss up - the lady that twisted up in the drapes, the jump ropers, the motorcycles in the cage. @
