Circus Vargas

The performers are excellent, and very talented. Hurray for a humane circus with no animals!
The acts included, but weren’t limited to: flying trapeze, breathtaking motorcycle stunts inside a spherical cage, hula hoop tricks, trampoline acts, juggling, flipping in different and creative ways, audience involvement, magic, and gymnastics. Two of the performers were minors, and all performers were impressive.
The only downsides for me were:
1) The show we saw was on a very HOT August day, and it was sweltering in the circus tent (no AC). Be prepared with fans and cool clothing if there’s hot weather.
2) Some of the seats in our section had somewhat obstructed views. All of us in our group of 9 moved seats at least twice to try to get a better view. Arrive early for better seats, particularly if you’re in a big party.
It is good old-​fashioned fun for a family, and very kid-​friendly.

Loved it! High quality, super-​entertaining, old school fun that all three generations of my family loved. My 10 year old son said it was the best thing he’s seen and my wife and I adored every second of the show. Already looking forward to seeing it again!

It was far more entertaining than we were expecting.
They had four acts each one a little more thrilling than the last.
Your children firinds and family will be talking about it for days. My four year old is still talking about the motor cycles, kids flipping around on the fathers feet, «he want to do that,» and little boy bouncing on the trampoline. SolarCity Milpitas hah many guests at the show.
First: Clowns, juggling and hullo hoops to amaze.
Second: Trapeze artists that make you think, how can they possiby do that!
Third: A tallanted flipping family from head to toe.
Fouth: Motor cycles in a cage with a lady standing in the middle. Don’t know how she can stand there.
I highly recomend taking you friends and family and they will be amazaded for days.
Heads up bring pleanty of water it is hot inside.

Circus Vargas. For someone that has never attended, I did expect clowns and animals but boy was I wrong!
My family and I enjoyed an evening of GREAT entertainment!!! The multiple acts brought many moments of laughter, wonder, suspense, excitement and we even got to shake our grove thing a few times with energetic music. The host does a wonderful job involving the audience.
Its evident that ALL the performers, perform above 150% in order to give us an awesome show! We recommend it to everyone and we can’t wait to see next years storyline (acts)!

Full disclosure: my lovely niece Emma performs on the flying trapeze (is there another kind of trapeze?) in this show.
We went as a family and extended family this past weekend and thought the show was Fantastic! There are no animal acts, but that is all to the good. I think David W.‘s nostalgia is misplaced in a Cirque du Soleil world. This is a fast paced show. Almost all the acts leave you wishing for a few more moments. So fast that the two hours it runs just fly by.
Highlights include the trapeze, silks, «wheel of death» which you must see to understand, the trampoline, and the recurring magic act. The magic is a little uneven but overall was very good. I don’t usually like circus clowns but this one had me laughing out loud.
Unlike some modern circuses, this is a family show and the entire family will enjoy it. They are playing Vallejo (where we saw them), San Jose, Hayward and Newark and I will likely repost this review for each of those locations.
Go and enjoy!

Good 2 hour show. Hot in the tent with all the people and lights.
Be aware the show runs til 10:05.
The San Jose police start giving parking tickets at 10:01pm if you park on the street near by. I guess San Jose must be broke to resort to this.

Logistics nightmare getting in – the parking line took 25 mins then they charged us $ 8 to park. On top of that when I complained the parking guy told me to F MYSELF and SHOT ME THE BIRD! His colleague had to tell him to chill out.
Way classy– especially in front my little girls and other kids.
The show was mediocre and we cooked in the tent under San Jose sun.
Bottom line: Avoid this dump and go to the movies instead.
