Well that was terrible. Any thoughts?

Care to elaborate on what specifically you didn't like or liked about the event?

The performances in Winnipeg were subpar, even considering the weather according to this.

Honestly everything about it was awful. It was expensive. The showman ship was terrible. So boring. There was absolutely nothing exciting about it. So disappointed. The bouncy castles were absolutely filthy. Like visible mud and dirt.

$6 to take a picture of your child with a dog using your own phone. $12 for face painting. Believe they wanted $12 for your child to go down the slide in the bouncy castle 3 times and a few minutes in the other one. The one smelt moldy. Terrible. 100% waste of money. Never again.

First time we went as a family. Defiantly not what I remember being like when I was younger. It wasn't exciting at all. Everyone including the dogs looked tired, old and worn out. There was nothing exciting about the show at all. In fact my 5 year old wanted to go home half way through the show because it was boring. But for the money we paid for the tickets we stayed until the bitter end. Everything there was a money grab and I wouldn't go back again.

It felt old and tired for sure but for 12 bucks and free for kids what do people expect. They really just needed a dedicated ringmaster to help move it along and keep people engaged.  
 
I heard $15 for cotton candy... and they ran out of popcorn at one point so didn't bother with anything.

I'm not one to bash an event online because I appreciate brandon having events. However, i paid $32 for my ticket and $10 for burnt popcorn. My child wasn't into it so we won't probably go again. But I feel as if the "circus" should probably stay as a thing of the past. You can't re create a real circus without the circus animals and performers.

like everyone is in agreement that this was a huge disappointment. My friend took her son and said the bouncy castle was pretty disgusting and he was bored as well. I have to think that the circus had their own cotton candy and popcorn booths as well and this wasn't the venue supplying this is that correct?  
I agree I think the circus concept is over and done.

$12.95 per adult and $10 per child thru online advanced price on Keystone web page three weeks before the show. So under $50 total for two adults and a child it was an all right entertainment.

Never. Ever. Again

Even after getting tickets on sale I still don't believe it was worth the money. Hardly any acts, 12 dollars for face painting and an intermission on an hour and a half show really.. I'm happy I could take my daughter just because now she can check it off her bucket list but never again will I go to a circus like that.

When I tried to buy regular tickets online it told me none were available! Ended up buying ringside tickets at 38$ each! Only to see lots of empty when we got there. We had a nice view but the show wasn't worth 38$ each!

The only circus worth going to is one put on by the Shriners but unfortunately I don't think they do them anymore
