We went to the circus last night! It was so much fun watching my daughter laugh and ooh and ah. She had the best time. I do not think I will ever forget it. She will because she is only two. She thought the clowns were great. She laughed down to her toes. Now this morning she thinks she is an acrobat. It's sad how we take these special momments like this and do not enjoy them to the fullest. When is the last time you went to the circus?

Honeydew, can you believe I've never been to the circus? My parents couldn't have afforded it when I was young and we didn't have a car then, either. And, when my kids came along, it wasn't a priority to go. I think my daughter went as a Chaperone once with one of her children when they were in daycare at her work. We have gone to the Fair many times, though. I know that isn't exactly like the circus, but it is nice to see the animals.

My parents could not afford for us kids to go when we were little either. So it was neat to take her. The petting zoo at the fair is always fun to.

Hi there honeydew82174! I can't recall the last time I went to the circus. It's been a long while since I had the chance to go to the circus. I wish to go to the circus again. I do not know when as there are not much of those kind of shows here in our place.

It was long ago when i was studying in the 10th std.I liked the bird show over there.i also liked all the clowns and the different tricks performed.I liked the man riding motorcycle within a ball.I didn't like the people who were overcharging for eatables there.

my boyfriend hates clowns. they scare the heck out of him. i am not a fan of clowns, too but i am not scared with them. i do like however the motorcycle men with balls crossing a narrow piece of rope. that thrilled me out!

I would have to say I was at the circus a real long time ago when I was a little girl. However I do remember that it was fun and I went with some relatives. It really can leave a lasting impression on you.

Your daughter seems cute! why won't you enroll her in gymnastics or ballet classes. she might enjoy those. anyway, the last time i had been to the circus was many years ago. let's see, maybe 12 years ago. i watched it with my friends in highschool. it was a circus group from London who performed in the philippines. the tickets were really expensive but i say, it was really good fun!

Centuries ago! LOL, I am just kidding of course. But, I don't remember how long ago it was. I sort of feel sorry for the animals there. They didn't look well taken care of last time I attended a circus. But, yup, the clown was the best of the lot. Cheers and happy mylotting

To tell you the truth, I have seen many shows on TV but i have never been to a circus before. Here in China, circus is a little bit away from people who live in the country side. People live in the big cities may have chances to go to the circus, but to people like me, it won't be that easy. Have a nice day!

The last time I went to the circus was when I was a child, we have never taken ours to a circus. Mainly because there has never been a good one around where we live.

the last time and the only time i ever went to a circus was when i was a very, very small... probably when i was seven or eight years old... i have never taken my own children to a circus.. the circus shows are not local - the ones we had before were the 'royal london circus' troop.. and so.. they dont come often.. and the tickets get sold out pretty fast, eventhough they're not that cheap...

unfortunately, I haven't yet went to a circus before. But I saw this Quidam in a VHS tape and it was so awesome. The circus guys in the video were amazing.
