Is the Moscow Circus really any better, more unique than Barnum & Bailey or any other big circus? I am not thrilled about a circus so would I be thrilled with the Moscow Circus? It might be nice to be able to say that I have been to the Moscow Circus. Opinions?

A Russiaqn Circus is nothing like a Barnum & Bailey or any other western circus.

The experience is well worth the effort. If you do not speak Russian, try to have someone with you who does.

After I saw the Moscow Circus I never wanted to see Barnum & Bailey again. It was completely different and quite a lot of fun.

Thanks for the information! In what way is the Moscow Circus different?

No clowns . . almost all the "acts" are animal . . usually includes one historical reenactment of a Battle . . the people "acts" are more athletic . . No band ( that I recall )

There is a new circus and an old circus. We just saw the new circus last week. Unbelievable! Great! Awesome! It had the usual "land", plus ice and water acts. And mostly in English! Definitely worth the money.

I hate the circus, even as a kid I hated the circus. We went to the circus in Moscow and I enjoyed it. The animals were amazing. It was hard to believe it was a bear doing the act and not a human in a bear suit. Definately go. I still refuse to go the the circus in the states.

I'm sorry but I was very disappointed in the Moscow Circus that I saw. Our bus got us there a little late and it was a nightmare getting to our seats in the dark. I really expected to enjoy it more.
