    Very disappointed

    by Et on 11/11/26

    The circus was very disappointing. They had basically all the same act. It was mostly all acrobats flip just using different props. There is no wow factor in the circus. I think the best thing about it was a woman being shot of Canon my kids were very disappointed, and bored halfway through the show probably would not see it again

    Aweful

    by Deb G on 11/11/26Allstate Arena - Rosemont

    My adult daughter and I were looking for some nostalgia. What we got was a DJ, loud music, flashing neon lights and way to much of nothing happening all at once! We didn't stay for the whole show and won't go again.

    disappointing

    by elcee on 11/11/26Allstate Arena - Rosemont

    Advertising makes it seem like a circus....it was not. It seemed more like a modern tech event with lots of dancing. I think it was geared for girls aged 6-12. The bubble toys you sell were so disruptive during the show as well!!!!

    Bello is a rock star!

    by Mike on 11/11/26Allstate Arena - Rosemont

    It’s been a while since I last visited the circus, back when Bello was performing with our sons, and we instantly became fans. When I heard that Bello was returning, I knew I had to go again! This time, I had the pleasure of taking my grandson along. Despite being only 20 months old, he was completely captivated by the entire experience. Although I was a bit apprehensive about how the show would be affected by the recent changes and regulations, I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible performance of the entire show and all the performers. Hopefully we will be back next year!

    Very Meh

    by Kimberly on 11/11/26Allstate Arena - Rosemont

    It was cute, but my kids got bored before intermission. It was very drawn out which I get they have to do to set up for the next act but it just couldn’t hold our kids attention. We left at intermission and both of our friends families left shortly after intermission. There was several people that got in their cars when we were in the parking lot. I think it’s just too long for young kids. I’m glad I won my tickets because I would have been so disappointed if I paid full price for my family to go.

    Best Show On Earth

    by Adrian the plumber on 11/10/26Allstate Arena - Rosemont

    Three of us for less than $100 with parking. It was so awesome and so much talent. It was amazing and so entertaining. The police have the in and out down to a science. It was awesome.

    Fun for all but too long for children’s event

    by Grandma Anna on 11/10/26Allstate Arena - Rosemont

    Haven’t been to a circus in years! Took my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren on 11/7/26 Very engaging for all ages but a little too long for most kids. We left after 2 hours, as well as many other families and it was still going on Maybe making it shorter like max 2 hours including intermission (which was what it was supposed to be) would be better for kids Besides that extremely entertaining and def worth the price of the tickets😁

    A Circus without animal acts

    by Greg W on 11/10/26Allstate Arena - Rosemont

    I fondly remember the greatest show on earth. The big 3 ring circus with tigers and elephants and horses, etc. the excitement of the high wire acts and the clowns. Something the kids and adults alike could enjoy. I went as a kid and took my children many times over the years. I took my grand daughter to the new Ringling Circus, expecting the same excitement. Truly a disappointment. No animals, just loud music, dancers and a trapeze act and a few ariel acts that went on for way too long. My 5 year old was disappointed and said Disney On Ice was so much better than this. Never again!
