American Crown Circus – Circo Osorio

June 9^th thru June 13^th the circus plans to being Clackamas Oregon… as I was sitting at my local Massage Envy waiting for my massage to start, a large Mexican gentleman walked in offering the girls at the front desk free tickets for any children. He continued to ask them if they had children or if a lot of their employees had children. He’s been continued to ask the girl at the front desk about their massage program and if they ever offer“happy endings”… I find this to be completely inappropriate as the girl at the front desk is very young. You should be ashamed of yourself for employing these pieces of shit to come in to local businesses and make an ass out of themselves… it really shows what your circus is all about.

Parents, if you value your children’s hearing, please do not bring them to this circus. We were given some tickets for tonight’s show and had to leave early, as the volume was louder than most rock concerts I attended as a teen (seriously). I could barely tolerate it with my ears plugged, and my 4 year old had her ears plugged the whole time and STILL couldn’t tolerate it. She asked to leave halfway through the show, and no one in our 4-​person family complained. We all gladly left. I let the staff know my concerns and they said, «It’s always like this, sorry» basically telling me that they’re sorry but they’re not going to change anything. I told them, «the volume should NEVER be this loud for a show that children attend.» If you do attend, bring earplugs for your kids. In my opinion, I will not support a company that ignores a parent’s concern for their child’s health in this way. We did not have much fun because our ears hurt SO badly! :(. I have never been so disappointed in a circus before.

The worst circus ever, it is a bluff, sorry to say but not professional. Very sad and dissappointing, do not waste time for them.

Online description didn’t list prices, just said «very affordable». $ 20/​person didn’t seem «very affordable» to us for a little pop-​up circus, but we were already there, and kiddo (3 years old) seemed excited, so we did it anyhow… it was a waste. every act had maybe 2 – 3 «tricks», mostly just the same trick repeated… mistakes were made in many of the acts, and each act was just a ploy to sell something related to the act… It was hot, there was no ventilation… and the only animal was a miniature horse, that walked in two circles on stage, and right back in… and the horrible music got louder and louder as the show went on, so loud by the final few acts that there was distortion with the sound… my child and myself had to cover our ears…
don’t go, save your money (and your frustration) and wait until a real circus comes to your town.
(and while I understand they make their money on sales, I didn’t appreciate them bringing up all of their flashing stuff into my childs’ face, trying to pray on parents’ who have screaming children who want the flashy things!)

Don’t waste your money.
This company knows how to make a profit:
* Put out no information to the public about what to expect except that kids are free. The disappointment comes after committing the $$.
* Charge $ 20 for each adult which they wont discover until they’re paying at the box office. Not even a sign above the window advertising the rates.
* Charge $ 5 parking even though it’s an open area and usually easy to park.
* Constantly plug very cheap but expensive to buy, swords, balloons, inflatables, coloring books, concessions, clown noses, etc., etc., etc.
* Don’t climate control the tent. Even a $ 10 fan means $ 10 less profit.
* Basic folding chairs on level ground. Don’t care that it’s hard to see over people in front, especially for kids.
* Family photos! buy a basic digital camera, take pictures of everyone. $$ from souvenir circus photos.
* No animals! People might think circus = elephants, tigers, etc. Nope, only humans. (someone saw a mini horse? did you have to pay extra for that?)
* Send «acrobats» to a basic trapeze course, have them perform that.
* «Clowns» are just some guys with make-​up who blow whistles constantly (am I at a tequila bar?)
* Cheap costumes, cheap acts. Pretty sure the employees aren’t making a living wage.
The only bright spots were that my 5 y.o. son actually seemed to enjoy it and that we get to make fun of it now.

This was a fun little circus and my 6 year old daughter enjoyed it. We saw the San Rafael show today. I was actually very happy that no animals were used in the circus, and so was my daughter. We intentionally stay away from circuses that use animals in their acts, so this was perfect for us. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon.

They came to Bakersfield this year instead of Ramos Brothers. We were totally let down. It was nothing but a bunch of mediocre acrobats and a miniature horse that doesn’t even do tricks. It was $ 20pp to get in! What a rip off. And it was soooo hot inside. No ventilation at all! Never again! What a waste of money. Even our 4 year old was wondering where the animals were and wanted to leave. This was her first visit to a circus. Thank goodness she’s so young she will forget this embarrassing moment and we will have another chance to take her to a REAL CIRCUS WITH ANIMALS like Barnum and Bailey Circus.

Dont go is right! it was too small not very polite staff fluctuating prices its ether 10 $ — 16 $- 18 $- 20 $ make up your mind. Yea on the ticket trailer it says 18 but on line it says 16. diffrent places up to 20 and down to 10 the circus is not worth 20 nore 18 nore 16 it should be 10 $ because thats how good the circus is save your money and save your time. Please dont come back to Atwater Ca stay in mexico.

It’s not Ringling Bros. Or Circus Vargas. But Circus Vargas wants $ 50 ringside seats. These tickets were $ 15 for me and my kid got in free. My son is 4 and had heard of the circus before and here it was. He cheered and laughed the entire time that we were there, that was priceless. Yeah the performers were odd and had some chubby acrobats but… my son laughed a lot more than at a movie.

Great show. Hard working entertainers. My kids loved it!

Don’t know how anyone could give this 1 star. Took my boys out to see this circus tonight in Casa Grande AZ and we had an absolute blast! Don’t expect a huge production like Ringling but this is a family run circus and their story is so inspiring to me. The acts are very fun and very entertaining, the clowns were very funny and my boys just loved them. That’s what the circus should be about is having fun. This family is doing what they love and living the American dream. Take your kids and if you are a kid at heart you will love this show too.

If only I had read some of these reviews before I went to the show in Lodi, Ca! This was the worst show (if you call it that) that I have ever been to. Think of this: What do you think of when you think «circus» or what do you expect to see? Me, I think of clowns, animals, elephants, tigers, high tight rope walkers. I didn’t expect inappropriate material for children from there so called clown pinky nor did I expect a so called clown to do a strip show wearing a bra! Ridiculous! The music is too loud and everything is repeated in spanish. It was horrible and I would give it negative 5 stars, if I could!

DON’T GO!!! This should be called Mexico Clown Circus. Mostly in Spanish. Smokie inside the whole time. Small scale tricks. Children lost interest. Too loud! Chair seating. The biggest kicker they hand out $ 5 free passes for kids but it cost $ 18 for an adult ticket-​nothing saved here. I am totally being honest! I read the reviews before going and was totally mislead!

Well worth it. If you’re on the fence about going. GO! It was a great show for the kids and very reasonably priced. All the the performers were great! I will go next time they are in town. I wasn’t expecting much and when we left we were extremely satisfied. All in all a wonderful experience my son, nieces and nephews will remember which is what matters!

Its so incredibly bad that it is hilarious to watch! I thought wow the first act was bad maybe it’ll get better later, nope just stayed bad the whole time. The only reason we left with smiles was because of laughing so hard at how bad it was. The first act was just jumping on a trampoline expecting an applause, we were all thinking ‘oh that was it’. Then it goes into the next act of a guy juggling and he dropped the pins about 5 times, and yet seemed pretty proud of himself. Then the so called magic act, that was the funniest bit, that man really loves his coat he continually swung his coat around claiming that his tricks were amazing, they were $ 1 shop tricks. Then the only animal in the circus came out, a mini horse. This lady who brought him out had no sense of embarrassment since she was rather large and in a leotard, she walked this horse in circles on a leash continually feeding him to coerce him to move forward, at this point i was about to die of laughter. The whole show was so bad it was comical, we defiantly will not forget this one. Spend your money else where!

I saw this circus in Oceanside, CA with my 4 children. Prior to going I read the reviews. A couple people gave it a 1 star and a couple gave it a 4 star. I give it a high 4 star.
I RARELY take the time to give reviews but I enjoyed this circus so much I thought it deserved my time.
The circus is a small production. The performers sell the tickets, greet at the door, take you to your seats, sell the pop corn, snacks and several other items they sell. Initially I had a bad attitude about all of the stuff they where selling but now I realize it is all for their cause. I did not purchase anything as I brought snacks for my kids to save money.
The price is RIGHT! I paid $ 26.00 for my family of 5 to get in. (myself and my 4 kids)
The show was VERY entertaining. No it is not a large production so don’t expect it and you will most likely have a great time.
WE DID.
Thank you American Crown Circus for an enjoyable family evening out! I will definitely see you next year!

For what it is, it is five stars. Small, authentic circus with just a few acts. Not like Ringling, but the people are super likeable and if you like circuses, you will likely like this one.

I went to see them last year in San Rafael.
They are back this year and so are we. This is a small production. The stunts are not as spectacular as in the big production, but you get to see a very close up. The kids loved it and so did I.
I hope they keep on coming back.
Why not 5 stars? No lions just a tiny horse.

Ok I thought well there is a circus coming to town at «1 Saint Vincents Drive, Novato, CA» and maybe we should go take our child to see it. I always used to fondly remember going to the circus in Nola. But what I overlooked was that was Ringling Bros. They had huge big tops, lions, elephants, tons of funny clowns and more.
Well this place is the exact opposite. First we drove up to a hay field and were motioned in by Marin for hire clowns «Old Ladies with a red nose» then asked for $ 4 to park. Ok whatever, $ 4 for a hay field. Then we walk up to a tent and semi trailer to get tickets. Kids get in for free. thats their catch! You think well maybe it’ll be alright since you seemed to get a $ 5 credit. Ok then we go inside the tent is newer one, looks like they spent some money on it, but it’s really tiny, like a quarter of what I was expecting.
Well then that’s when the fun starts. The entrances are choked by the people selling cans of soda, water, Iceys for $ 3. The bleachers are tiny, but I guess thats to be expected in a tiny tent. We decided to get a Icey it seemed a bit much for ice and flavored water. It tasted terrible, they were thinning out the syrup with water to maybe 15% of what it was supposed to be. times must be tough they have to give you a flaverless Icie, but it was cold so that was a plus.
Then the circus starts, which is proceeded my chubby Columbian children dressed as clowns. it was really really bad, I know there kids, but WTF? A circus where half the staff are SA children? Something tells me they are cheap too with the staff and cant afford grown up clowns :(Then the next act is a father some clown that only squeak whistles and toss balls at the crowd. A ball was thrown and hit my wife knocking the $ 3 Icey all over her and the lady next to her. NICE!
Then we have a intermission, to sell $ 3 ballons, great a time killer where they try hard sell tactics to children to blackmail their parents into buying $ 3 garbage.
Ok I wont bore you with more and more details the list goes on and on and on. We basically had 3 intermissions to sell more stuff during a 30 cicrus show. People were getting up mid show and leaving. We decided to stay, we were strangely intrigued by the chubby SA children that seem to be ½ of the show. Do child labor laws not apply since they are not Americans? Who knows.
There bottom line. get you into the tent and try hard sell tactics to children. Well we didn’t fall for it or our child. We told her that we would go to Toys R Us and get her some real toys. She agreed and we left with minimal pocket book damage, then proceeded to give the toy store some money.
The Short,
Cons: 90% bad acts, and deployable selling tactics to children
Pros: 2 acts are worth seeing (5mins) The semi high wire, and the motorcycles.
Verdict: DON’T GO. You time is worth more and better spent elsewhere.
