Since its 1976 debut in New York City’s Battery Park, the Big Apple Circus has become an entertainment tradition. At this circus, you and your kids can get up close to the energetic and hilarious show because every seat in the tent is less than 50 feet away from the ring. Spotlighting world-class performers juggling, bending and twisting as acrobats, and swinging in trapeze tricks, this circus has something for everyone. A surefire crowd pleaser, the Big Apple Circus creates lasting memories and lingering laughter for years to come. This nationally recognized nonprofit organization shares some of its funds with community outreach programs, including Clown Care, which places clowns-in-residence at 19 children’s hospitals across the country. The troupe is featured every year in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and pitches its tent twice a year in Lincoln Center. The Big Apple Circus is giving performances in several locations in the metropolitan area, before moving on to New England venues. Tickets available online and in advance.
