How long does the show last?

I've bought us tickets for September. Upgraded to add the Sealife Centre and the Tower But now I'm worrying about fitting it all in. We have to go to the circus at 1pm, that's the only time on a Sunday. So we've booked the Sealife Centre for the morning and the tower for the afternoon. But the last tower slot is 3pm. Online guide says the circus takes approximately 2 hours, so will we make it on time? I know they're in the same building and all.
I tried to speak to the non-helpful helpdesk about the timings but they just told me it was my responsibility to choose my timings carefully.
Last Sealife Centre slot is also 3pm so swapping them around doesn't help me.
What a palaver. Why does everything feel so complicated right now?

I was there last week. The show was around 90 minutes long. Get there early or buy tickets for a private balcony.

We got there on time and ended up in the rafters. The benches are not fit for purpose. They were so uncomfortable they're actually painful and entirely unsuitable for small children. I thought I'd bought ringside tickets but according to the entirely unhelpful ticket girl no such thing exists. There are two catagories of tickets, general admission (which covers the comfy ringside seats and the benches in the rafters) and private balconies.

The show itself was great. I would def go again but not with a general admission ticket. The people behind me walked out as they had small children and it became unsafe when they started getting fidgetty as small children do.
