 Cyberfolks Friendly Guided Web Site Tours
The Circus Is In Town!
Host
Marie-Helen Goyetche
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the circus!
Today, not only will you be seeing one circus showing; but you'll
experience eight different and vibrant showings.
Big top circuses go from one city to another and usually stay between
five to 12 days to perform to sell-out crowds of families and adults
who yearn to be swept away by the magic of the circus.
As a family outing, visiting the circus is a 'must see' event. Circuses
not only offer a sense of magic and fantasy, but also a sense of
silliness and fun. They appeal to the little child within all of us.
There are ways to check out the circus without leaving your home or
waiting until they come near your home.
So grab your popcorn and drink and follow my tour.
The Big Top Circus
Here, you'll find information for the circus fanatic, or more detailed
information for the amateur on where to shop for circus equipment.
Tour dates, tickets reservations and profiles on a number of circuses
are also available.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
The official Web site of "The Greatest Show On Earth". Here you
will find information on the history and tradition of the Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Circus. There is a section called fun and games,
and an email address where you can write to the ringmaster.
You can take the RBBB aptitude test, create a clown, and sign up
for the Ringling Online Newsletter.
The Cirque Du Soleil
French for Circus of the Sun, this site is available in French or in
English. This circus is a more acrobatic type of entertainment as they
do not use animals in their shows.
'Odyssey' is where you'll find out more on the history and background
on the Cirque du Soleil. 'On The Ring' is where you will find five different
shows with information on tour itineraries and press releases. 'Behind The
Scene' for ticket information.
The Shriner's Homepage
The Shriner's is a non-profit organization where all proceeds from
the circuses go to benefit sick children in 19 Orthopedic Hospitals
and three Burn Institutes. You can visit some of the acts and read
up on the circus programs.
Beyond the shores of North America, you can follow the circus and
tour the world.
In the UK, Zippo's Circus Web Site profiles Great Britain's Big Top Circus, where
you'll find information on tickets, tours
and more on the circus acts and their philosophies.
Australia's Circus
Read about the 150-year history of Australia's Big Top,
and The Great Animal Debate.
Circus Ethiopia
Africa's circus incorporates many traditions from the Ethiopian culture
into a western based circus. This site is also available in French or
English.
The Circus Web -Circuses Past & Present
The Circus Web comes complete with sounds from under the Big Top. They
also give information about circus superstitions, circus terms and fan
information.
As your ringmaster, I wish you a great time when looking at these shows!
