- Arrive early: the foyer tent opens about 45 minutes before showtime and the big top about 30 minutes before.
- Check your order carefully before you submit it, because tickets can't be changed, exchanged or returned once you've booked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the circus suitable for small children?
Yes, the show is for everyone from toddlers up. Children under 3 get in free as lap children without their own seat, and you can park a stroller inside the tent near the tunnel.
Are there animals in the show?
No. This season's program has no animals, and the circus horses stay on the farm in the Allgäu for the winter.
Can I bring a bag?
No. For safety reasons bags aren't allowed, and they're checked at the entrance. There's nowhere to leave them on site.
Can I bring my own snacks?
No, but the snack stand sells crêpes, popcorn, bratwurst and more.
How long should I allow?
The show runs about 125 minutes, including a 25-minute interval. The foyer tent opens about 45 minutes before the start and the big top about 30 minutes before.
