American Crown Circus - El Centro, California

April Haskell

I just took 3 kids to the circus today. It is not a fancy circus. It's affordable and geared towards kids. My girls loved the acrobats, flaming knives and fun tricks. It felt like watching America got talent. We had a great time. Take your kids they will enjoy it.

It was a cute show - great acrobatic acts and the clown was funny. We really enjoyed ourselves laughing and admiring the acts. For $30/ ticket, you get an hour and a half of entertainment. They do push the sales of their light up toys quite a bit and good luck to you if you come across “Monique” at the ticket stand cuz she is vile - but the show itself was tons of fun and I’d recommend it to others. Good clean fun

I love their performances. The boys, the gymnastic girl, the joker are amazing along with the solid sound of the owner.. I feel proud of myself that I didn't miss the great show. The boys simply rock!!

Best of luck for your all shows ?✌?

Do not buys tickets online get them at the gate if you're military or a senior citizen! They do not have the option on their site for military or senior citizens tickets but do offer lower price for them at the gate. This is not mentioned clearly on their site,which may or may not be an attempt to weasle extra money out of these individuals by using their no refund policy, and you will be rudely turned away if you ask for the extra you paid back.

Don’t like the grand exterior circus tents fool you, the inside looks 120 years old, which is apparently as long as this circus has been around. The acrobatic acts were the saving grace of this otherwise lacklustre event that is incredibly overpriced.

It was suggested to me, when I went to see about purchasing their “only found here!” Light toys, that one guy gave a deal of 2/$20. When I suggested this at the concession stand, with a little wink wink nudge nudge, the “owner” lost it on me stating whoever told me that was a liar, they lied to me and kept going on and on about how I was lied to. I said ok it’s fine we aren’t getting the light rods but we can just get popcorn and she literally told me she could refuse service to anyone especially with my attitude she can refuse service. I said cool would you LIKE my money for popcorn or no She took it, of course, but it was a wild ride through some very specific choices in customer service… I’m not one to back down from a fight, but this was a fight I didn’t know I would be attending.

Everything is overpriced, including the tickets, and after my wonderful interaction with this woman, it wasn’t even enjoyable. Such a waste of time and money and such a sad excuse for a circus. I would absolutely encourage anyone to stay as far away as they can.

Brampton Location. Seen advertising for this circus and decided to support the Latin community. Me and my friend and her kids went. Was nice kids were free, tickets were around 30$ for adults. Found the tent was small, about half full with people. The performers were great! About 75% of the acts were actually good. Some acts really weren’t that good, the clown was a bit odd at times. I think the music/ sound effects needed to be way louder. Half time, people come around to sell snacks and I found them super pushy. Food was expensive which is the norm for most ticketed events. Overall, I would say it’s good. Bring your own snacks and drinks. Started raining as we left and we were being booted out. I know it sounds awful but some of it was still good. It’s a 50/50. Also, sit close to the sphere because you getter a better look at the bike act. If not you’re so far away and it’s hard to see.

I don’t blame the performers at all, but I think they shouldn’t run it as a “circus” if it’s hardly one at all. When you think circus you think big and grand. We paid $25 a person online (they were charging $10 at the door) we spent $150…. When it was definitely a $10 show! The announcer spent all the time in between acts pushing the sales of the light up toys. Telling the kids to wave them around (making kids who couldn’t afford them feel bad)…. The whole circus had 6 people. I feel like these performers were good! Not their fault. But they probably could’ve just been added into an actual grand circus. When you walk in you get the vibe immediately. But we stayed, our 5 year old daughter liked it…. But for the adults who remembers the circus growing up, this is unfortunately not it. Felt more like a good talent show.

This is not a circus but more of a talent show. They are reselling old popcorn and trying to push their toy sales during the whole thing. Way too overpriced for their act. Go to a park and watch a talent show on YouTube, save your money.
