We had a fabulous day at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The museum is very inexpensive and offers a wide variety of entertainment without fighting huge crowds. The concessions we bought were so reasonable (cotton candy $2, popcorn $2, Clown Nose $1). We also were able to take our own lunch in our backpack which saved us some... more

We made the mistake of going there before we checked things out so paid more than we could have. If you know you're going to go to several attractions you can save up to 35% by buying the tickets all together. It was an interesting place, we most enjoyed the circus acts and magic show. more

We LOVE this place! This was our 2nd visit in 4 years and we recommend it to everyone. The staff is very small, but they work extra hard (double duty) to entertain the guests. They balance people on their nose, fly the trapeze, do flips & dance, then run the concession stands when they're done. It's amazing. Very charming place.... more

Lots of fascinating history of the circus world. The circus wagon display is very impressive. Easy to spend an entire day wandering around. more

I actually worked there the summer after I graduated in '92. I never got tired of the historical as well as entertaining content. more

We went to the museum in early February. As a graphic designer I was interested in the collection of vintage posters, (I am a big fan of the vintage design) and my husband wanted to see the collection of circus carts. We knew the circus attractions were closed, but weren't interested in this anyways. Most of the posters were actually... more

We spent the summer day totally immersed in the circus. This has everything..an in depth museum, a live circus, animals, beautiful, ornate, large circus wagons and circus instruments. It even has a circus diorama that just lets you imagine what it must have been like back in the hey day of the circus. It is such a shame with our... more

I wasn't sure about this place before experiencing it. DH and DS didn't want to go. But off we went, due to my insistence! We stayed 3 hours, til closing time. Wish we had gotten there earlier. We saw the one hour circus, with the jugglers, the dancing elephant, the acrobats and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the show, and being... more

What a great place! Definately go during performance season because if you don't then all there is is the museum- ok but not worth the trip in itself. Plan ahead and check the website because there are specific things going on at certain times and you want to be able to see it all. The people are beyond friendly and... more
