When I was very young, my heart will leap with joy when a circus comes to town. Being curious, I will run to the site where they make camp. I would see them putting up the Big Top and also the cages where the animals are kept. Seeing the keepers feed the animals was also fun to watch. I will go to the circus with my parents. As we are not rich, we sit way,way back to watch the going-ons. I loved the clowns, the motor-bike ride in a globe and the high trapeze. Have you ever been to a circus? How many times have you been to circuses? What do you like about the events in a circus show?

Hey, I haven't been to a circus in a very long time, but I mainly like to see the people performing their awesome flips and stunts, I personally absolutely love to see them perform. I am astounded by how much skill it takes. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Every year the circus camps at our town and I enjoy going to circus when I was young.Especially the clowns are the most attracting for me as they enact some funny things to make us laugh.And I like to watch some wild animals which are trained like dogs.Now a days,wild animals like tiger and lion are not allowed to be kept in circus.About the clown,I later learned that they can do all the adventures that the normal circus men do.Cheer!

Since I love horses and always have, the horses were my absolute favorite part of any circus. I also loved the clowns, they were so funny! The little car that all the clowns would keep coming out of, how did they do that? And the rubber ladder that collapsed, so funny and their honking horns. I liked the other animal acts too, the elephants. I rode on one as a child. I have not been to a circus in many years and miss what they used to be like.

Hehehe, that is my favourite past time and activity during long school holiday. Everytime when there are news that the circus are coming to town, I will be very excited. I will check my piggy bank for the coins to purchase the tickets. I will go with my brothers and sisters. My favourite is watching the trapeze, the tiger jump through the fire ring, the beautiful horse parade, and the elephants performance! I think the cirucs that used to come to Malaysia are from the world famous Royal London Circus!

Hi there! During my childhood days, I remember when the feast of our patron saint is approaching, days ahead circus are coming in town. I have a great fear in rides that I always had to be left by my friends who most enjoy in taking ride with the ferriswheel and roller coaster. I prefer to see the magic shows and play on some games in exchange of junkfoods or stuff toys. It was fun remembering those days where we can enjoy on simply going to a circus camp. Good Day!

The word Circus makes me feel very colorful. I like the lion show very much... Its scary but very interesting. I feel that the guy inside the ring is really brave. I've been to circus around 5 times as a kid.

Hi dear! The art of circus is dying, I feel and now a days we get to see less of it, as we used to see it many years ago. Many organisations raise objection to the use of animals in the circus. I remember, when we were kids, it was the best source of entertainment and we would enjoy it more than movies, because it was a live show. If I happen to go in circus, I eagerly wait for clowns to appear on the stage, they make you laugh with their tricks and gestures.

Hi, I went a couple of time to circus in Melaka, and Klang Valley. It is quite interesting...if I not mistaken the circus that went for world tour is Royal Circus of London..(if I am not mistaken). I like to see the trapeze and the animal parade! The elephants and tiger and beautiful horses. All the best!
