My writer, Megan, recently received complimentary tickets to the Big Apple Circus in New York City. All opinions are her own.
We are big fans of the Big Apple Circus. We just attended for the second year in a row and the whole family loved it.
Concession Stand
When the Big Apple Circus arrives in New York City, it takes place in huge tents on the grounds of Lincoln Center, a beloved cultural hub. It’s an intimate venue with a single ring and way-smaller crowds than any other local circus.
Lincoln Center
The current show is called The Grand Tour and it’s set in the 1920’s and features acts from the four corners of the globe. Each act includes set design, costumes, and music tied to this theme. It was a cohesive and visually appealing extravaganza.

Personally, my favorite thing about the show, aside from the thrilling acts, is the live band. They played fantastic jazzy music that was perfectly chosen for the theme and for each different act.
I’m also happy to know that the cost of my ticket contributes to the Big Apple Circus Community Programs; such as, Clown Care, Circus After School, Circus for All, Circus of the Senses and Circus Embraces Autism.
The Big Apple Circus: The Grand Tour is a great show for the entire family!

Clown Care.. this organization is new to me. 🙂
Circus of the Senses is a unique performance that enables children and adults with vision or hearing impairments and other disabilities to experience the magic and joy of the circus.
We have an adorable Big Apple Circus tent ornament on our Christmas tree from our first visit – would love to go back!!
