A trip to the circus can be a truly memorable event for the whole family, including children and adults alike. Circuses offer an opportunity to see carefully created shows and the skills of highly trained professional entertainers.

Before you settle on which type of show to see it is a good idea to remember that there are several different types of circus to choose from. It is important to look at this so you can get an idea of what you can expect during the performances.

The first type of circus is a three ring. This is a large show where the space is split into separate areas so that three performances can take place simultaneously. The shows are highly energetic and frenetic, with lots of activity taking place at once. They can be a feast for the eyes and the ears too.

The second option is a one ring show. These have a single performance taking place so that the crowd can focus on the spectacle and take in everything that is going on. They can feel far more intimate as a result and the crowd is regularly enticed to get involved.

A third type is animal free shows. There are a huge number of circuses that don't have animals and instead wow the crowd with the skills of the human performers and entertainers. You can see acrobats, daredevils and, in a number of cases, clowns too.

It is a good idea to look closely at the shows that circuses offer so you can get an idea of what you can expect from the experience. This will also help you to decide what seats to opt for to ensure you get the view you want.
