We took DS to the circus last Saturday - it was fab! But why was the place more than half empty?

I found that really sad. We had been a few years earlier, with our goddaughter, in a diff city - and found the same thing. Do families just not 'do' the circus anymore?

I think it's become less interesting since they stopped the cruelty to animals.

I AM JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!

even if it weren't you I'd still ROFL at that!

How are you doing up there? Was telling someone the other day about your Harlem exploits - they ROFLed at 'she ain't white, she's Scottish'!

I find it a bit dull I'm afraid. I find myself clapping because they are doing clever stuff but not because it's entertaining iyswim. IME little children love it but they grow out of by about 9/10 yrs of age and I wouldn't go for my own sake! And then there's the price .

My DC liked the horses best of all. We were invited behind the scenes to look at the horses after the show. They then charged us £1 per person

The last circus I went to was the Russian circus. The temperature in the big top was over 100, the tickets cost us a small fortune and the clowns can only be described as nightmarish. We havent been back since.

£1 to see the horses!!!

It is a bit pricey, but then it's a 2-hour show. I also got a whopping 40% online discount. I agree that by age 9 (or younger) kids wouldn't be into it, although the adrenalin junkies riding the 'Wheel of Death' had everyone gasping in horror and delight when we went!
