Experience Circus History
Explore Circus World
What began with less than an acre of land, six historic circus wagons plus a lot of grit, determination, and passion, has now become an internationally recognized and respected institution encompassing 64 acres, 30 permanent structures, seven winter quarters buildings along Water Street, plus the Ringling Bros. Circus Train shed complex, and over 260 spectacular wagons. Circus World truly is “Wisconsin’s National Treasure!”

It’s your time to shine!
Cherished local and national history. Everyone should experience it at least once in their life.
Where is this located? Always wanted to see it when I was there, but haven't yet. Hope to be there in June again.
I see he needs to come back and get the "bricks he missed" ..Brewers mold .. Starting to look good now ...
Does this mean I have to take a bath too before I visit? Hasn't been decades, but probably overdue! 😀
