About Bob Baker's The CIRCUS!

Originally staged in the 1950s and brought back many times since, this fan favorite is a carnival of imagination that will transport you into a world of dazzling acrobatic feats, exotic animal performers and sideshow attractions! Each act comes to life through the storytelling wonderment of puppetry on strings and a playful musical revue!

Performance at 11:30 am
