Tips & Advice

  • Use code cirquenoel26 when booking to get 20% off all tickets, since the opening offer ends within a few days.
  • Buy everyone's tickets in the same category and arrive together at the welcome desk, because seating is unnumbered and free within each category.
  • Children under two get in free only if they sit on a parent's lap, so plan seating for little ones with that in mind.
  • Tickets can't be exchanged or refunded, but names aren't checked, so you can pass a ticket to a friend if your plans change.
  • Leave time before the show for the mini Christmas market in the welcome hall and a souvenir photo with Santa and the artists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the circus suitable for young children?

Yes, it's a show for the whole family. Children pay a child rate from 24 months. Under-twos get in free if they sit on a parent's lap.

What is there besides the show?

The welcome hall has a mini Christmas market in the style of the Alsace markets. It sells sweets, mulled wine, churros, crêpes, candy and giant lollipops. Santa is there too for souvenir photos with the show's artists.

How does seating work?

Seats aren't numbered, so you sit anywhere within your ticket category. To sit together, your tickets must be in the same category and your group must arrive together at the welcome desk. Ticket numbers don't need to run in order.

Can I change or refund my tickets?

No, tickets can't be exchanged or refunded. Names aren't checked at the door, though, so you can give your ticket to someone else. In a case of force majeure, you can email the customer service team.

Are there rates for visitors with reduced mobility?

Yes. Reduced-mobility (PMR) rates can be booked directly on the website. You must show your card or other proof at the entrance.
