My partner booked this using our merlin passes, he paid extra for VIP seating as you recieved a drink and snack for an extra payment each, this i recommend as we all had choices of drinks, popcorn, nachos or candy floss. Popcorn is about is £4. We were impressed with this, plus great leg room. All of us had a fantastic time, the clown although I have read hasn't changed in years, I felt was amusing and made the show. Kids loved it and we have 4 from 11-20. My partner David is always up to joining in, he was picked out by the clown ( they made a good choice) he's such a good sport... had everyone routing for him and laughing. We had a great night. I didn't give full marks as I felt more acts were needed. If you go to Blackpool, the circus is a must x

My first time coming to see the circus. I must of been to see a differnet blackpool tower circus than the rest of the reviewers as i though the majority of the show was very poor. The acts were very good such as the acrobats but the majority of it was filled with the clown and the brother which was horrendous. The clown was laughing so much on his own jokes i couldnt even hear what he said. Hours of my life i cant get back. Really needs more acts and much much less of the not funny clown.

Amazing, entertaining and fun performance. Electric atmosphere, a show not to be missed. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Decided to take the grandchildren aged 5 & 3 to the circus as my Grandparents took me every year and I had always brought my own children, it was always a great show and we had fond memories. This visit, however, left a lasting impression but not a good one, unfortunately. Firstly, I think the standard ticket format really needs addressing. No seats allocated and it's a first come, first served basis, if you want a ringside seat you either have to pay VIP for front row or arrive ridiculously early and queue in the hope that you may get one, otherwise you're in the balcony, which we were. This wasn't particularly an issue until the show started, with limited viewing of the clowns who seemed to stand completely underneath on our side so we saw nothing and what's more you couldn't hear anything either. Thankfully the other acts were in the middle or the air. The acts were fair, some better than others but the biggest disappointment for me was the water finale. The picture shown here as an advertisement with the lights and fountain looking spectacular couldn't be more misleading. This is what I expected, however, this isn't what we got. There was nothing spectacular about this finale for sure. Understandably, there were restrictions due to the final act being positioned in the centre of the stage but the fountain was pathetic and over in the blink of an eye. The water was an absolute disgrace, not glowing blue but brown and manky. I'm only happy that none of the act ended up in it. The highlight of the show was walking past all the old pictures of days gone by when Blackpool Tower Circus really was something great. I can only hope that the powers that be see fit and invest in to making it great again. Sadly, I won't be rushing back or recommending anytime soon.

Had a great time at the circus. Good old style entertainment. The acts were amazing and loved all the corny gags and slapstick. Love that phones not allowed so you could just enjoy the show.

We have normally visited the circus as a family most years and enjoyed the show immensely. Sadly though we went to the circus as a family this Sunday and were really disappointed at the lack of acts and content during the show, (which was only 90 minutes long with a 25 minute interval in the middle). The show was padded out mainly by the clowns with material that had mostly been used previously. I also felt that the set up time for that acts during the show was also lengthy and wasted even more of the show time. I personally feel that the show needs a complete revamp and for a show that has a large audience was sadly extremely poor.

We had great seats for the circus due to our merlin passes so booked up for our trip having never seen one before, the show was fine, funny in parts but felt quite slow, especially at the beginning. We did leave during the interval as the was a lot of loud unexpected noises that our daughter didn’t like, We didn’t see warning of this or may not of booked.

We had a great time in the dungeons. Didn't really know what to expect but it definitely surpassed our expectations. The actors were great too.

There were a couple of hire wire acts that were very good. The clown was good but most of the humour was Adult or certainly above most children. It really needs updating and injecting with some imagination. Some of the girls looked like they would rather be elsewhere. The auditorium needs a makeover too. Uncomfortable seating. We took our 3 year old Granddaughter. I dont think much of it was aimed at that age range. Other little ones around us looked very bored. Maybe it would be better to have the earlier performance aimed at little ones and the later at more older children.

We visited as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children - 5 and 8 years old). We got VIP tickets with our Merlin pass, which put us on the front row. We also got a free drink and snack each with the tickets, which was really nice. The seating was good, with plenty of leg room being on the front row. The show was really good, our kids loved it. They had a good variety of acts with some audience participation.

Wow, what a difference to the ballroom. Very inclusive especially for my disabled child, the show was better than my expectations. My daughter is still talking about the clown "he was wonderful" so I would go to the circus very inclusive and very professional.

Absolutely loved it. Although I did cling onto my husband for most of it! Actors are fab. Highly recommend, it’s a must do visit for everyone visiting Blackpool! (Maybe not young children though!)

Second time to see Circus at Blackpool Tower & have to say usually not a fan of clowns 🤡 - BUT Mooky & Mr Boo were fantastic, found them funny & giving real entertainment between different acts. The Acrobat’s were amazing & this 2 hour show flew by. The only downside was I didn’t find the seats that comfortable. Highly Recommend for Mooky & Mr Boo alone…

Went aged 45 for my first ever visit to the circus. Husband and our teenage son and his mates were dragged along on the 8 attraction pass and all ended up really enjoying the circus and the day on a whole. Highly recommend, was crying with laughter and gasping with baited breath.. Absolutely fabulous. The acts were all amazing. Superb entertainment, can’t recommend enough. Well done guys and dolls. 👌We had a blast. Thank you. ☺️

Have seen the circus a couple of times but think it's gone downhill a bit, the acts were ok but not as exciting as other years. The seats are uncomfortable and cramped. Cannot sit where you want rude staff telling us where to sit. Acts were doing mistakes not sure if they are tired or not practiced enough bit concerning with the one on the wheel thought he was going to fall off and not harnessed or wire. The act where the clown did a film was boring and wished it would hurry up. Its sort of lost its sparkle which is a shame and has put me off going again.
