I haven't been to the Shrine circus since I was a kid. Now as a 33 year old with a 7 year old daughter, it was a blast. First off, the mini carnival they had set up in the parking lot had my daughter so excited. The carnival rides were great and the staff was so nice.
When it was almost time for the show we walked in the Gardens and bought a program(which was really cheap, $1) that my daughter used to get all the clowns autographs. We was greeted by staff and escorted to our seats. But before we sat they had pictures with Spongebob, face paint and elephant or camel rides for the kids. Also, there was even more clowns walking around the staging floor for my daughter to interact with and get autographs from.
Then came time for the show and the performance was great. My family had a really memorable day at the Shrine Circus.
