Who here misses the arena? If so, one option to enjoy in São Paulo is Mundo do Circo, in the north of the capital. Inaugurated in 2022, it aims to enhance the playful and emotional experience of the circus universe, with unmissable programming for all ages.
The space is located in the Youth Park and all the attractions are free. In other words, fun for all the family!
Experience the magic of Circus World!
Several spaces make up the Circus World. An open-air arena, for example, hosts street acts and shows, while the large canvas is dedicated to circus seasons, traveling companies and other shows.
The multi-purpose canvas, on the other hand, hosts performances by companies, solo artists and sometimes offers workshops for the public who want to try their hand at circus art.
All the shows are free and all you have to do to take part is keep an eye on the program and pick up your ticket at the Mundo do Circo box office an hour before the show starts.
But if you want an even more complete experience, beyond the performances, the tip is to visit Mundo do Circo’s permanent exhibition on the circus imaginary. It explains the various forms of circus in a playful and interactive way, providing even more fun for spectators!
