Explore Circus World
What began with less than an acre of land, six historic circus wagons plus a lot of grit, determination, and passion, has now become an internationally recognized and respected institution encompassing 64 acres, 30 permanent structures, seven winter quarters buildings along Water Street, plus the Ringling Bros. Circus Train shed complex, and over 260 spectacular wagons. Circus World truly is “Wisconsin’s National Treasure!”
Our Treasures
As other entertainment forms gained popularity, Circus World began documenting and collecting important treasures of the American Circus. From original Ringling Circus buildings to the smallest flea circus prop
Our Treasures will astonish!

7 days a week! Summer 2023
Watch elephants, jugglers & acrobats as they hold a happy hoedown with horses, unicycles, dogs, llamas & clowns. We’re more excited than a possum eatin’ a sweet tater just a thinkin’ about summer.
Saddle up Buckaroos and join the jubilant jamboree of family fun under the Big Top… Yee-Haw!!!
