The amazing part of this Circus is that children age 18 and under are all of the performers. You get an up close experience without any of the commercialization at other larger circus shows. The parking is free and easy too. The staff is very friendly and everyone is a local, a big plus! Enjoy this when they have a... More

I have reviewed Sailor Circus before, but since their shows are only during Christmas and Easter times, I thought I'd post another review. If you are in the Sarasota area during either of these times, please treat yourself and family to one of the performances (night shows are better, but can be late for young children - Saturday matinees are...

As with some other reviewers, my expectations were pretty low for this event. I was blown away. My 14- and 11-year old sons were grumbling when I told them we were going and they were mesmerized the entire time. We had a group of 7, ranging in age from 5 to 70 and everyone loved it. Since these are middle... More

What a wonderful family night out! To be honest, my expectations weren't very high going into this... A circus performed by all kids under 18? How good could it be? It was AWESOME! We took 4 kids ages 11-16 and four adults and all were in awe and inspired! It's amazing how talented these kids, instructors and volunteers are. Can't... More

Sailor circus is charming. As long as you're aware these are elementary middle and high school kids performing you'll be truly amazed at their talent. So dont expect professional cirque de soleil acts or animal acts. The shows is relatively inexpensive and there's a concession stand with hot dogs popcorn pop etc. Its also rather long and can be very... More

The Kids..... goose bumps... tears of joy.. You won't believe these kids ... you will be clapping for them just amazing ... what they can do... what dedication .

We had our four granddaughters to stay and we took them to this circus. It was superb, they were absolutely enthralled with everything. Well done to all involved!!!

Took the granddaughters, aged 9 and 11, here during their spring break and gave them the usual talk..."don't know how good this will be...be patient...etc". WOW! Their eyes were like saucers as they watched kids in grades 4-12 perform just like the pros! It was breathtaking! High wire! Trapeze! Unbelievable! Why did I wait so long. The granddaughters, who live... More

I make this an annual event and it always inspires me! I love seeing even the littlest children (8-9 yrs old participate in acts of increasing difficulty and daring. When it comes to the hi-wire act, I always hold my breath in suspense, and admire the expertise of the high school student performers. A great value and a joy to... More
