I was a brave mama yesterday and took both kids to the circus by myself. Had I realized that it was a 2-hour show, I probably would have made a different decision. However, once we were there and into it, it was a fun experience.
Here is a summary:
Highlights
- Lions and tigers, elephants and camels, the kids loved the animals
- A huge variety of acts...something for everyone
- Reasonably priced 4 pm show...$11 per ticket + $2.25 service charge, Norah was free because she's under 2
- Delta Plex is easy to find and parking is free
- Concessions prices were decent
- Elephant & Pony rides available at intermission for a fee
- Human Cannonball & Acrobats, along with many other acts were amazing
- Petting zoo after the circus was free, included baby farm animals, chickens, and more.
Lowpoints
- Endless hawking of glow-in-the dark gadgets got old fast
- Noisy
- Smells like a circus, if you know what I mean.
- It's hard to hold a 2-year old on your lap for 2 hours.
We had fun and I'm sure we'll be back in the future. It would be interesting to compare this to the circus that comes to the VanAndel. Anyone ever been to both?
The circus is in town for this weekend.
