He sat through the entire thing and ran around during intermission. He wasn't super into it (it wasn't the best circus) but he was well-behaved enough that WE were able to enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389979 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:10:29 +0000 Andrea 1389979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not 2. I think we went then and she was too young to sit still for it. It just wasn't engaging enough for her. I would wait until 3 at least. She could sit still at 2 for other things though, like Sesame Street Live. I think those kind of shows are better for the really small ones if you want to do something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389849 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:31:53 +0000 mediagirl 1389849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not yet for us, or anytime soon. I will wait for anything she has to actually sit through until she is older - 3 or 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389837 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:27:01 +0000 autumnlove 1389837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3 is a good age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389802 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:18:56 +0000 MamaBehr 1389802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gone to the circus the last two summers. For her first circus DD was a little over 2. She enjoyed it, but not as much as she did the next summer. At 3 she was very into it and it was fun. DS also came, the first time he was 6 months old, obviously didn't get it. He did well last summer, at 17 months old. He behaved well and sat the whole time, but I wouldn't have taken him if it was just him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389794 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:17:38 +0000 rattles 1389794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wait until next year. I'm thinking 4 for my LO so that she can enjoy it and I can get my money's worth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389783 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:14:40 +0000 Dandelion 1389783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4-5. We went last year, at 5, and it was just right for DS. It was so lame to me and DH that we're glad he was old enough to remember so that it doesn't have to be an every year thing, lol. But, it was brilliant to DS.</p> <p>I don't think he would have liked it as much before 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389777 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:13:32 +0000 Running Elley 1389777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd think 3 or 4 would probably be best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389774 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:12:38 +0000 pelikila 1389774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I would say 4, but that is based on my child's personality and he is a timid guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389771 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:11:30 +0000 lamariniere 1389771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3, but I don't think he is ready, he's a scaredy-cat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389753 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:06:52 +0000 Mamaof2 1389753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took DS to a local Shriner's circus at age 2.5 - he did pretty well but I was glad I didn't pay for the tickets - I think 3 would be good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389729 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:00:51 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1389729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took DD at 18 months, and she was NOT ready for it. She liked it but she couldn't sit still long enough for the whole thing. I think it might be better at 2 yrs old, but I'm going to wait until 3 to take her back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-circus#post-1389713 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 09:56:30 +0000 littlek 1389713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age would you take your LO to the circus? The circus will be in town when LO will almost be 2. What do you think? Too young? </p>
