There are different shows present in this place. Before you go you should check their website to see the time and dates of performance. I had seen a wonderful show last week (Spirit-of-Steppe). It was a solid show, with great laser lighting and life music and singer which made a exciting atmosphere. It is good place to spend time with family. We had a great time.

We came to the show with a fear of seeing animal abuse - luckily there was only one show with dogs and they got lots of sweets while doing the stunts (it made us realize they were positively trained). The show lasts two hours with a short break in the middle and was in the Hungarian language, but (!!!) It really didn’t stop the kids (and us) from being mesmerized throughout (our kids are 8, 6 and almost 2 years old). From our places they looked great and it seems to be the case from everywhere in the hall. We highly recommend watching the show!

We saw the show "Rain". The sound system was painfully loud. I feel sorry for the children in the audience. They will get permanent hearing damage for sure, after being exposed to this for 2 hours. It is too bad that this place is trying to replace traditional circus entertainment with deafening noise and a boring laser show. I guess noise and lights are much cheaper to produce.

We've seen a lovely show (Which one of the 9 - or something like this :) ) for a very decent price. It was a new experience for us compared to the circuses that keep on moving from town to town, it had a nice story, very good acrobats and we also enjoyed the seating and the building made especially for this. All in all, a great experience that we recommend!

Booked tickets for the circus was lucky I booked them the day before I wanted to go as was pretty fully booked. Great value for money and the acts were must see acts all brilliant. They do still do animal acts but was only horses and they looked very well looked after. Also food and drink in the circus is also cheap so cant complain all round great show

We went for the RAIN show in May. Excellent show!! Small place so if I had to go again I wouldn’t get seats in the front row. 4th or 5th row is probably better.
My 8yo really enjoyed. There were some kids age 5-6 who couldn’t stop laughing all around us. As well as older teens - EVERYONE enjoyed the show.

Bought tickets an hour before and there were no premium seats left but ended up with a perfectly good view in a second class one. The acts are from around the world and most were enjoyable and interesting to watch- favourites being trapeze and a hoop act. The small girl group used as an intermediate between acts is terrible with six girls dressed in capes dancing badly to songs - not exactly class circus material. Was disappointed to see horses used in two acts, even though I know they will be well loved I do not think it is necessary for animals to still be used in circuses. Show was long but overall I enjoyed it and the variety of acts.

Pleasantly suprised, area had AC, we don't speak Hungarian but everything was self explanatory. Great acts (didn't like man with the birds), singers were decent. All in all a very fun afternoon for the kids. Arrived by metro (5 minute walk) and also combined with the zoo which is next door

Very nice show, the horses and elephant is a sad part, you can see the animals are scared and they are being hit rapidly by the trainer..

Сколько по времени длится представление в Цирке Будапешта ? Спасибо заранее!
Written November 8, 2024
Hello, I'd like to book tickets in advance after reading reviews this is best to get good seats however their official website seems to be down. Does anyone know if buying them directly from circus building a day in advance will be enough?
Thanks in advance!

Buongiorno, mi sapreste indicare gli orari degli spettacoli? Ed i biglietti si fanno dir lì?
Written August 24, 2018
Sul sito fnc.hu/musorunk/eloadas idopontok trovi gli orari per tutto agosto. In settimana in genere gli spettacoli sono o alle 15 o alle 17. Il sabato alle 11, 15, 17. La domenica alle 11 e alle 15. Credo che andando un po'prima si riesca a trovare posto e acquistare il biglietto. Buon Divertimento!

what is the best way to get there from the center of budapest.
if i have a rent car this is there a way to get there there is a free parking?
it is good idea to go with little children first to the zoo and then to the circus
Written February 23, 2018
Take the Millenium Underground, M1 line (yellow line) from the Centre. I would not go there by car if there is a show because it is not easy to find a parking place. Anyway, you have to pay for the parking, it is not free! (approx. HUF 4-500/hour)
