Circus Museum

Even though the circus does not operate from this site any more, the museum is built up on the actual wintering site. You can visit a number of features including the wagon and wagon restoration shops. There were also wax figures of the strangest people on Earth — fatest, smallest, hariest, tallest. Another building focused on circus posters. Another exhibited clowns.

Elephants

Wagons carried everything, including the big animals. Even though tractors replaced horses and oxen, circuses never stopped using wagons.
