Testimonials
My class will most remember the quality of the act we saw. It was superb. Absolutely memorable for Kindergarteners. They laughed their heads off.
We had a fantastic time here. Saw Cirque Zuma Zuma with my 3 year old daughter — she was engaged for the entire hour of the performance! Lots of great activities, which are included in the price when you buy a show ticket.
I have such great memories of the Festival after going every year for 20+ years of teaching.
