The Greatest Show on Earth is full of ALL NEW entertainment sure to delight.
Watch Jaw-Dropping Feats on the Performance Playground
Picture yourself inside the “ultimate playground.” It’s a state-of-the-art, 360-degree environment.
There is entertainment at every angle:
There’s trapeze swings soaring through the air up above with the artists landing jaw dropping somersaults off teeter-totters.
Extreme BMX riders defy gravity on gigantic ramps and a merry-go-round stage spinning with excitement.
Cuddle up and watch Bailey Circuit, the robo puppy who will surely bring some squeals of delight.
Look up to the sky and catch Skyler flying across the arena as the human rocket.
Hop on a wild ride with world record holder, Wesley, and his 5 unicycles.
Witness thrilling, never-before seen acts on the trapeze and the highwire.
These performances set the stage for non-stop, high energy, laugh-out-loud excitement. It doesn’t get any bigger or better than this.
