Circus Lena at Edison Mall GREAT family show!…read more
We went to see Circus Lena this weekend, under the big top tent in the Edison Mall parking lot, and it was a wonderful, professional show. Very family oriented, bilingual show. Lots of fun for the kids. At one point, the clowns did an act where the kids got to come up on stage to participate. Big focus on acrobatic, aerial, balance, and juggling acts (no animal acts, so it meets the humane standards of modern circuses while conserving the tradition of acts that require talent and skill).
Chairs are spaced out, masks required of audience, all staff in masks, hand sanitizer stations all around, so they are up on presenting safely during this time. They're running two shows on weekends -- 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., and one show at 7 p.m. on weeknights (except closed Tuesdays) through March 7, 2021. They are a Lee County, Florida-based circus.
Tickets are available, even if you want to go last-minute. Prices are reasonable for this type of live entertainment -- $15 kids, $20 adults, or for a front-row "pod" of 4 seats $100. They also run some specials of a BoGo type for some days, so check for those.
It's a mom-and-pop family run circus, where the masked usher who showed us to our seats turned out to also be the trampoline artist. Decent concessions with sausages, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, cotton candy, soft drinks (no alcohol because it is a family show). They'll be at Edison Mall until March 7, 2021. Definitely worth going to see. https://www.circuslena.com/ #CircusLena
