May All you Days Be Circus Days-Baraboo Circus World Museum

Yesterday we may have found the best value for a full day of family fun in Wisconsin.

We have an annual "before school starts" outing with Tizita.

Last year we all enjoyed Little Amerika and the year before that we did Monkey Joe's, Build a Bear, and Mini golf.

This year we chose Circus World Museum in Barboo.

It was the best choice ever.

I had been to Circus World as a child and our we had taken our girls there, too, but this was our first return trip there in about 30 years or so.

The admission for the three of us was $33.00, not bad for a day full of fun activities.

We began our day with the magic of Tristan Crist.

Tiz is an apprentice magician and loves all things magic so this was right up her alley.

Here Tristan is signing her magic wand after the show.

Of course, there are lots of these fun signs all over to stick  your head through.

After the magic show, we headed to the big top for the circus performance.

It included dog acts, monkey acts, an elephant, unicyclists, trampoline acts, clowns, and a few other fun things.

It lasted an hour and was enjoyed by all.

We felt the circus alone was worth the admission price.

And we enjoyed  cotton candy and soda and popcorn during the performance.

Tizita's favorite part of the performance was the contortionist who got himself not only through a tennis racket but into this little box as well.

The only extra charge besides our food was face painting.

Tiz chose to be tiger.



Tiz the Tiger!

There was a time for the kids to all come out and try the different acts.

Hula hooping,

Walking on a big ball,

And trying the tightrope, plus juggling.

It was a lot of fun for the kids.

Tiz felt she could have walked that rope without help, but I am not so sure.

Next on our agenda was a kids circus.

Tiz was chosen to be a pony.

The ponies came out and performed for all the audience.

It was so cute.

There was a grand finale parade of all the performers in the kids circus.

This sums up our day at the circus.

I am ready to join the circus, I think.

We took the Merrimac ferry home.

Something else we had done many times as a family.



 

And we ended our perfect outing we pizza at the Blue Moon in Lake Mills.

May all your days be circus days!
