Our Experience of the Royal Canadian Circus

My family had the pleasure of attending the Royal Canadian Circus in Etobicoke in 2019 and I took my 18 month old daughter and 3 year old niece who loved our ringside experience. I can’t wait to return with my now 4 year old for a new circus experience in 2022 as the Royal Canadian Circus plans to be better than ever, as they have been scouting the best talents around the globe during the closures of the last few years. The kids were mesmerized, excited, and even the parents were amazed by the level of skill, talent and quality of performance.
