I've been going to the shrine circus for a couple years now and I was really looking forward to it this year. I was disappointed at the end of the shoe, it wasn't as good as the last few years. The camel part was really dumb, basically watched camels walk in circles the whole time. The best parts were the motor cycle guys driving in the giant cage, the elephant doing his trick, and the 3 acrobats who were swinging on bars. The female dancers weren't that good. They danced as they just learned the dance that day. My 3.5 year old son was asking to leave an hour later.

We've gone to the 730 pm Sat show. 2 yrs now. We've done the BOGO tickets. Unfortunately $80 for a fam of 4 is too much for next year. We have a 5 and 2 year old and the intermission didnt start until 9. The second half of the show went on at 930. Based off of assuming there was a 1.5 hour show before the intermission, we can't stay there until 11 and then try to get out of the chaos and traffic with such little kids. The show should be shorter and cheaper.

All the acts were entertaining for all ages. The dancing and music was modern and perfect for the audience. All that was missy were the clowns. The only bad part was the online purchase would accept the code for the coupon, but I avoided the gigantic line for tickets out front

It was an entertaining show, however I felt that it was more appropriate for kids a little bit older as my 2 year old only made it to half time.

This circus was completely worth the money. It was new, fresh, exciting and surprising. You could really tell that the performers take pride in their work and that they truly enjoy what they do. This was the first time I'd been to the circus since I was 7, and it brought back some wonderful memories!

This was an awesome show! My almost 3 year old daughter was entertained the entire time! It was a great outing for us! BUT.. It was long, it starts with an hour and a half show followed by what was suppose to be a 'short' intermission.. I guess short to them means about an hour- basically extra time to make you spend a bunch of extra money and then that's followed by the rest of the show.. About 30 minutes.
But overall, I'd highly recommend this! Bring some extra cash and just enjoy! I know we did!

The circus itself was very good and lively. I thought there was too much commercialism when the Ring Master gave a verbal commercial to go buy the wands, and light swords, etc. Also, the charging relatively high priced secondary tickets at intermission to ride the animals. It's ok to charge some because the kids love to go out on the circus rings, but $8.00 for a 2 minute pony ride is a bit steep. I suggest halve the price. The untypical circus acts of the vase juggler, and the motorcycle cage and the cannon shot were unique and very interesting.

It is always a great day when you get to see amazing actors and actresses preform amazing feats. To be able to share that through your child's eyes is priceless. The animals are always a favorite. I love the elephants and tigers. It is very fortunate to be able to have a three ring circus come to Milwaukee so convenient for many people to enjoy.

The cost of tickets, the bombardment of up charges once a patron is in the door was ridiculous. The circus itself was fair. Way too many dancing/pom pom entertainment girls and not a lot of emphasis on the circus that I remember. Also, too much emphasis on the bmx bikes, we were not there for a bike show. Very little interaction by clowns and the only time the clowns were visible, besides brief performance with dog was when they were barking for kids to pay for rides, bouncy houses or other items.
A person does expect souvenirs to be barked but nothing under $10. Everything was so expensive a family couldn't do it. We will not be taking any of our other 6 grandchildren. Three of us went, we had tickets in 300 section, 1 cotton candy, 1 water, 1 small soda, 2 camel ride tickets (which was a joke) and 1 laser sword and parking..Total about $200.00 Fun.....about $70.00 worth.

So many different reviews for the circus...come on if you know how to write a review you already know what a circus is all about. This one was great! I have loved them since I was a kid and brought my 4 children ages 10-17 and they all loved it. Great Lights, sweet music, hot action, amazing elephants, motorcycle launches to the ceiling and the human cannon to end it. Yes the concession and souvenir prices are ridiculous, the prices to ride the animals are ridiculous. They have always been that way. There is a giant entourage that puts these shows on, not just one guy and a guitar. Go and have fun, loosen up, cheer a little and remember the days before your IPad became the screen of your mind!

I think the presentation the tripoli shirne circus put on was simply amazing. The acts and the stunts are breathtaking! It takes a lot of strength and support to balance people and hold on to them along with other things!
I think that the elephant rides are over priced for the amount of time. 2 times around the circle for $15? come on. If you are going to do that then lower the price to $10.
I would recommend that if you can take the time to see the circus it is worth the money.

Overpriced and couldn't see event. General admission tickets aren't so expensive, but after facility and convenience fees are added, tickets are quite pricey. Couldn't see tiger performance since motorcycle ball was blocking view; what a disappointment.

The circus was ok, I guess I was expecting more out of the norm acts. The dancers and rope performers weren't very impressive. Dressed a little too risky for young children to see IMO, and also danced a little too much like strippers.
I think there should have been more crowd involvement, as well as a little more orginization on the circus' behalf.
When we got to the circus, there were other people in our seats, and my son climbed into his seat and the attendee freaked out and tried to grab my son even though he was perfectly fine. When I told her to remove her hands from my son she yelled at me then stormed away.
The food there was not good. All pre made so the pizza was cold. Not what I expected paying over $20 for 3 slices of pizza.
The lion tamer had a hard time getting the lions to cooperate, looks like that show needs some work, I wished that they would've advertised if the intermission rides were free or not, or had more available balloon artists and face painters.

Each year my family goes to the Shrine Circus for my son's birthday and each year we purchase tickets for up front (between 1st & 5th row). Every year we have a great time, the kids are entertained and dazzled by the performers and I thuroughly enjoy myself as well. This year was no exception for the most part. The kids loved the motor cycles in the sphere, the human cannon ball, and the performing dogs. What we did not enjoy however was the skantilly clad girls as their dancing routines. They came out between performances and danced wearing close to nothing. One time they dressed like they were from a French brothel and danced to moulin rouge......I'm left wondering what happened to the clowns? At no point prior to going to the show did any of my children say "gee mom I sure hope they have dancing skanks at the circus." He did however talk about the funny clowns as the cool animals. All in all we did however have a good time, but if the performance continues to go down hill I most definitely will not be spending almost $200 on tickets. For that much $ (not to mention the cost of junky plastic toys, rides at intermission, and concessions) we could go do a vast variety of other fun activities and not have a wholesome family evening infiltrated with smut......also tip to the shrine circus producer....if you are looking for ways to entertain parents, which is what I am assuming you we're attempting with the "go go dancers" why not try some comedy. Comedy is just as cheap to come by and if you keep it PG it won't diminish the value or reputation of your circus. Just look at Disney and Pixar if you need examples. They put adult jokes in movies that kids still think are funny but don't truly understand the real meaning.
