WHAT IT MEANS: Created by former Ringling Bros. Ringmaster Kevin Venardos (veh-NARR-dos), the Venardos Circus wraps world-class, animal-free circus acts into a Broadway Musical-style format dubbed “The American Circus with the heart of a Broadway Show.” Doors open one hour before each showtime with preshow entertainment and fun circus photo ops. Classic circus treats like Popcorn, Cotton Candy, House-made all-natural Pink Lemonade, and more are available. The main event lasts approximately 90 minutes, with a brief intermission.
