Loomis Bros. Circus

"We had such a great time!! The show was fantastic!! The joy and amazement in my kids' smiles throughout the show is priceless. We are still talking about all the amazing acts."

"I've heard horror stories about the way you treat the animals. Most humans work for money, for food, but never made to do acts for entertainment, probably 24/7. I do everything in my power to remove the tickets that are put out in every establishment in Cullman. I've read so many stories about elephants being jabbed with sticks with nails in the end and tigers hit with whips making them do things they don't want to. I'm sick of people like you getting ahead by abusing these beautiful animals. I promise I will tell as many people as I can !"

"I saw an ad for tickets to this circus at my workplace. I thought it would be a fun night out with one of my friends so I purchased tickets for the two of us and we went. I guess this is partially on me. I saw animals on the graphics, but I assumed it was for aesthetic since I didn’t think animals in circuses were still legal. When we got there, we saw camel rides. We held out hope though. Maybe they had the camel rides in shifts as to not tire out the animals. The show started good. A fun sign gag with quiet/cheer written on it, but then they brought out the tigers. Open flames next to no less than four tigers, all with their ears back, mouths open, panting in fear. Have you ever seen a tiger hyperventilating? I have. One of the pyrotechnics hoses popped causing one to jump off a platform in fear. It was whipped for its reaction. By this point I had my hands over my mouth and was trying not to be sick in the stands. My friend and I didn’t stick around after that. We were completely disgusted by the cheers and terrified animals. All in all, I highly recommend the show if you want to be surrounded by monsters"

"I've been going to this circus for years and the show is great if you like the traditional old school circus acts & animals. Fantastic for family's with kids & my personal opinion I enjoyed this more then Cirquedusoleil & the paranormal circus. Prices are very reasonable considering the prices of everything, everywhere you go these days."

"It was a pretty good show, and i recommend it for any age. This circus appeared in my local fairgrounds rental building so it was a little cramped for seating. Extra guests were coming in and had to sit on the floor and the ring master apologized for the show starting late because of the long line of people coming in. The show featured comedic clowns throughout which I did enjoy. There were arial rope climbing performances which were amazing. The 3 motorcycles in the spherical cage was awesome. The was several balancing, juggling and bike/unicycle riding acts, which were all flawless. There was a part where 5 horses were made to run in circles and then put their feet on a stand at the end of that act. I did not enjoy that act, as the horses seemed tired and very afraid of the woman commanding them and her whip. The same horses were used before the show and also at half-time to give rides to children in circles. There was actually a few sign-holding protesters on the street near the parking entrance complaining about Loomis animal mistreatment. A guest appearance by The Chicago Boys acrobatics team seemed to be the best part of the show. They were amazing and previously featured on America Got Talent. Near the end of the show was an act with 2 elephants with a performer riding one, set to music and was very nice. These elephants seemed to be happy and treated well. Overall i enjoyed this Loomis Bros Circus show with exception to the horse act. There was popcorn, cotton candy, drinks, balloons, and light up toys available during the show. Infrared anti-photography lights were used during most of the show."
