Moskovskii Tsirk (Moscow Circus)

Description:

• This circus is one of the oldest in Russia. The circus building was built in 1880, and later underwent numerous upgradings and reconstructions until finally in 1985 the old building was destroyed and replaced by a new one in 1987. During its long history, the circus became home to many great Russian performers who created many innovative routines. One of them was famous clown Yuri Nikulin, who later became circus director before dying in 1987. The circus is a great place to visit with kids. Here they can see all the usual circus fare - acrobats and jugglers, camel and horse shows, smart monkeys and funny clowns. During the summer holidays, the circus stages special plays for children.
