It is now official, all of my summer work has been canceled… But I am proud of Scott O’Donnell, Dave Salutos, and Circus World Museum for making an extremely hard decision to keep us safe.
I have been thinking of my Grandfather quite a bit these days. Throughout his life, no matter what was happening, he had an extraordinary ability to stay positive and focused on what really matters in life.
Today and always he will continue to inspire me to live my best life no matter what. Every single morning I walk the same path that he did from the house to the barn. I slide open the same big heavy barn door, and like magic, the worries of the world disappear!
We created The Al and Joyce Vidbel Foundation to share our animals and the magic they bring. We look forward to using our summer to focus on the Homestead projects and the foundation. Stay tuned!!!!

During these unprecedented times and for the safety of our guests and staff, we have made the decision to suspend live programming for the 2020 season at Circus World Museum. We will also hold off opening the Museum until at least July 1, 2020, at which time we will follow capacity guidelines and enhanced cleaning procedures.

The Feld building has some exciting and colorful new exhibits for guests to discover this year including, The Big Apple Circus Wardrobe exhibit, The Presidents and the Circus exhibit which features our nation’s leaders at the circus, and a new tribute to Circus World – 60 years of fun!

We greatly appreciate everyone’s flexibility and patience as we navigate this together. We are committed to providing a clean and safe environment for you and your family to visit and we will honor the 2020 season passes both this year and next year during the 2021 season when we plan to bring you “Go West – Under the Big Top.”

Thank you to all of our cherished guests, fans and supporters for your continued support while we have been closed. We encourage everyone to follow us on our page for fun, behind the scenes videos, the latest updates and so much more. We look forward to welcoming ya’ll back to the circus soon!
