Purchased last minute and so glad we took the family bc the kids absolutely LOVED IT! 5 year old and 1.5 year old (free). The show was classy, funny, death defying, entertaining for all ages, and professionally done. Bravo to the cast, the crew, and the staff. Highly recommend attending these types of live experiences, they bring such a pure and exciting energy to your neighborhood and city. read more

My fiance loves the circus and has been wanting to check out a show with me for almost 6 years LOL. I finally got us tickets to the one in Bonita this past weekend. Ticket prices were reasonable, but front row seats had nicer chairs that looked more comfy. Their concession stand was extremely slow, so we missed about 10 minutes of the show before we got seated. We both got a strawberry lemonade, which was kind of sweet and some nachos to share. They also have face painting and knick knacks for the kids. Although each act was great, my favorite was the guy doing acrobatics in the bath tub LOL. The trapeze and motorocyclists were also amazing and rather suspenseful. In between each act, the clowns will ask audience members to participate, so it was funny to see what they made them do. At the end of the show, the entire cast waits outside, so you can take photos with your favorite characters. Overall, it was a lot of fun and very exciting to watch. read more

This was the best Circus Vargas ever! I have been to many over the years and their circus just keeps getting better and better. My daughter and granddaughter laughed and had so much fun. It is totally affordable and even when I bought a very yummy cotton candy for my granddaughter it was only $5.I would have paid way more at Disney on Ice or other shows! The tent is just the right size so that everyone has a great view of the show. Great job circus performers! Excellent! read more

Seats where horrible, acted like we had reserve seats when we where just told to seat anywhere where red & blue seats where open Last time i will come to this show! read more

Took our kids and we loved it!!! Hadn't been to a circus since I was a little kid, so I was a bit skeptical when I realized there would be no animals.. Didn't think they would be able to "Wow" me, and I am glad that I was proven wrong. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SHOW, and so did my whole Family! So fun!! The prices seemed steep but I was able to get a 20% off discount from a coupon I had..... I also didn't know how long the show would last, however after about an hour, the lights came on and to my surprise, they announced there would be a brief 15 min intermission!! the tickets went from steep to VERY REASONABLE considering the total length of the show...2+ hours. my kids loved the clowns and the interaction! I loved all the amazing stunts and aerial acts.. And the performers are all different ages.. I loved it... I recommend this show!! read more

Using a Groupon I was able to enjoy one of the most fabulous, exciting and talent-filled evenings I've had in years. My expectations were FAR exceeded by the tightrope walker, the trapeze artists, the aerial gymnasts, the incredible contortionists, trampoline artists and of course the motorcyclists. Just a fabulous way to spend a few hours in San Diego. Easy parking too, located at Mission Valley mall. The place was crowded with young families and every bit of the experience was perfect! Thank you Circus Vargas read more

We purchased 7 front seat tickets online and used discount code which should give us discount for total of purchase. Somehow the discount was not applied to the payment. Call the 1877 number and was told the sales are final and no way to change it. Bad customer service , seems like they don't care their customer at all . read more

Took my daughter here for her 6th birthday. She a great time! I also really enjoyed the show. Will definitely go again. Some of the acts were just okay, but they had some amazing acts and great performers. read more

My hubby and I went last weekend to see Circus Vargas for the first time. We loved it! It was funny, beautiful, and jaw dropping. More than once I held my breath in suspense. I recommend this performance as a family outing, or a date night without the kids. read more

This is an overall review of the 4 years in a row that I have attended this circus in National City. So my experiences have been great so far my daughters really enjoy every show. I gave it 4 stars because they need to change the routines for the shows. Yes I know they had the pirates this year, nightmares last year if Im not mistaken and others I can remember right now but the performances (routines) are the same and the ending is expected I guess is the best they should keep that one though (the guys in motorcycles inside the metal ball thing lol) that is very exciting for kids I just wish the clows did more because kids really get good laughs but it doesn't last long. I do recommend this circus I just wish they could surprise their audience and not be so predictable. It's like I already memorized their schedule LOL. BTW they don't bring any animals I know they used to have a poddle who danced and stuff but not anymore. I guess that good because no animals are caged. read more

LOVED IT!! The entire show from start to finish was humorous and the crew was incredibly talented.

2019 Show was phenomenal, attended at Mission Valley. Recommend it for all ages! Great value for great acrobatics & entertainment. Much better than what I remembered as a kid. read more

Husband and I took our 6yo son to opening night 2/16/17 at Plaza Bonita. Way more entertaining than we expected. All performers were so talented. Our favorites included the trampoline, trapeze, bow and arrow master, and motorcycle cage. They truly appear to enjoy what they do. Even the transition acts between main acts sre entertaining. My son hasn't stopped saying woohoo since we left. LOL. Great for all ages. Not giving 5 stars as will call ticket pickup area not clearly marked. We waited in two wrong lines until figuring out correct one. Seemed sold out so we could have gotten better seats had the ticketed been more efficient. read more
