The Royal Hanneford Circus
The Royal Hanneford Circus last visited Idlewild & SoakZone back in 1997 and from the day they left our guests have never stopped asking for the circus to return. We’re thrilled to bring the circus back to Idlewild – summer can’t come fast enough!
The Circus will take place June 12, 2010 – August 22, 2010 with three shows running daily Friday through Monday and two shows daily Tuesday through Thursday. Guests will be able to enjoy the circus under a big top tent behind Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
Family owned and operated, the Royal Hanneford Circus is sure to be a special treat for families and children of all ages. Acts and performances include comical clowns, quick change artists, and daring acrobats such as the Flying Fernandes Family performing exciting, top of the tent, aerial acrobatics on a giant rotating Space Wheel and more.
NOTE: The Royal Hanneford Circus at Idlewild & SoakZone does not feature any "Exotic Animals." The Acts performing here at the park are all acts that we selected for our Circus.
