A GOOD PLACE TO START
A few questions, answered.
Is every program at the same park?
No. Circus in the Parks brings together experiences at different locations. The venue on each program listing tells you exactly where to go.
How do I choose the right class for my child?
Review the age range, skills, and schedule in the class listing. If you are unsure, contact CirquesExperience at info@cirquesexperience.org for help finding a fit.
Where do I register?
Use the registration link in a program’s details. Class and after-school links open the CirquesExperience family portal, where you can review current availability, pricing, and enrollment information.
I came from MyChasePark or MyChopinPark. Am I in the right place?
Yes. This is the home for our circus park partnerships. Your chosen program may take place at a different facility from the park website that brought you here, so check its location before registering.
