An embarrassment for Blackpool!

Please fix this @MerlinEntertainments

Lack of quality entertainment from start to the interval (where we all left disappointed).

We were all so excited to experience what was meant to be the pinnacle of circus shows, but were left utterly underwhelmed by this lacklustre presentation of a show. We couldn’t hear a word of the dialogue from the circle and were less than enthralled by the minimal number of speciality acts on offer. Nothing beyond juggling and dancing was offered in the first half which left us feeling let down by the promise of quality entertainment in a stunning setting. How can a resident circus production not be able to both find and present quality entertainment in such an iconic room? How can Merlin Entertainment Group be endorsing such a show and allow thousands of tourists to be left watching utter rubbish? Our young kids also lost focus and even began falling asleep (during the 1pm show!)

PEASE DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

*Please please please read this and other negative reviews, work on the criticism and bring back the true glory days of circus here in Blackpool!!

We travelled to Blackpool on Tuesday 3rd April for a day out with friends and we had young children with us from the ages of 3-10. We went to the Dungeons and then to the top of the tower, can honestly say they were fantastic. We had a great time.

We then had booked in the Circus for 4pm, we was most looking forward to the circus, so we thought it would end the day nicely. How wrong was we!!
I couldn’t actually say that it was a circus. I’d say it was more of a bad comedy sketch with dancing performances. We was so disappointed. The children started to get bored and restless and just wanted to leave. We felt really bad just walking out so we waited until the interval and then we left. I definitely wouldn’t say it was a circus at all and felt really disappointed. I would advise to spend your money on something else :(

Very disappointed in the Blackpool tower circus. Went with my young family expecting good things especially as it’s an iconic show - however it was utterly appalling. We were sitting in the circle and the sound was so bad we couldn’t hear what the clowns were saying so all the jokes fell flat.
The acts were few and far between - and when they did come on they were distinctly average
No tight rope walkers , no Ariel flyers , nothing mesmerising- just really dull clowns who were on far too long with terrible jokes, bad sound, terrible production and nothing impressive at all
Really confused as to how this is Blackpool’s famous circus. My children wanted to leave they were so bored
I really don’t recommend this but hope they improve their show so that they can return to the success of their glory days

when I stayed in blackpool last august with the grandchildren I asked them if they would like to go to the circus in the tower.they had never been to a circus before and were amazed.absolutely surperb
