Mom in the City member and reviewer Jodi went to see the Big Apple Circus this past weekend. Below are her thoughts…
On Saturday, I took my 4 year old daughter and 5 year old nephew to see the Big Apple Circus at Lincoln Center. I had heard about it long ago, but never gone. It turned out to be a lot of fun for both me and the kids.
For those of you who have never gone, the Big Apple Circus is a circus in a very intimate setting. The worst seat is probably only ten rows back from the circle where the performers act. Even in such a small intimate setting, the Big Apple Circus had a trapeze, contortionists, acrobats, clowns and enough other circus type performers to entertain and amuse the kids. (I must admit that they entertained me as well.) The only bad thing is that there are not a lot of animals – just a dog and horse. Being that the arena is so small, I’m not sure where an elephant could fit anyways.
My daughter thought all the performers were princesses and my nephew thought they were superheroes. I even think my 22 month old son would have enjoyed it as well.
The Big Apple Circus is at Lincoln Center until January 18, 2010. I definitely recommend it for an afternoon of fun with the kids.
