    2023 Edition!
    Arnel D.

    Circus Vargas is back for 2023! Fun for all ages. Reasonably priced entertainment with a variety of acts. A must see at least once. Not a single bad seat under the tent. Remember to cheer and provide a standing ovation! This team puts on an exciting show!

    Circus Vargas came to entertain Downey, CA, and they did not disappoint. My daughters, 7 and 8, haven't been to a circus since long before the COVID-19 pandemic, so for them this was a re-introduction to all the thrills, tricks, and talent within the extravaganza show. Snacks were sold in several areas. Credit cards accepted. We went on 4/24/22. The only thing I would change was my seats... I bought tickets for back arena RIGHT side and the sun was setting on that side. It was stuffy inside the tent that afternoon on that side plus there was a barrier at that level that my 7 & 8 year olds couldn't see entirely over. If I had known the barrier was there just by looking at the seats online, I would have chosen better seats. I bought three seats: Back arena, Row: Right L, seats 14-16 Used promo code FB22 for 20% off Adult ticket = $29 Child ticket = $19 When purchasing tickets online a $2 service fee per ticket is assessed. I would definitely recommend anything on the left side arena tickets. If I had the chance to do it again I would buy tickets from the front arena on the LEFT side. Younger kids will like more of a side view as the crew members do their tricks facing the center most of the time. There is a photographer that goes around snapping group photos for purchase after the show. We didn't purchase ours because one of my daughters was not even looking at the camera. Lol.

    We have been going to circus Vargas for 5 years now. It has become a tradition with our family. We enjoy it very much ! I love seeing the outfits and themes ! They are amazing ! The announcer is so talented ! Every member is. They have something for everyone ! Definitely recommend !

    These are the two awesome daredevils that were on the double wheel! It's absolutely phenomenal!

    Wow! We decided to go on a whim for Valentines Day, and this was the best idea ever! Talk about shock and awe! It's absolutely impressive! I would recommend this show to everyone. I felt like a little girl watching everything with my mouth open. We could not stop smiling and clapping for every single part of the show. We sat in VIP, which was phenomenal, but you will have more interaction if you pick the seats up behind there. If you have the chance, go and enjoy! You will not be disappointed.

    We had a great time! The performers work so hard and it shows! It's great for all ages.

    I haven't been the circus in over 20 years so I wasn't sure what to expect. It truly is the greatest show on earth. Super funny and edgy at the same time. The mc/ring leader was on fire. Definitely go. Take the family or anyone who likes to have a great time. Ps. You'll love the ring of death.

    Second time going, went last year too. This year's show is different with maybe 2 or 3 repeated acts. It was very entertaining. Great place to take the kids. Last about two hours.

    Ask the Community - Circus Vargas

    Is it worth the extra $ to sit directly center or the side seats for less $ are ok?

    Personally, I would pick the center. You get a lot more interaction with the performers.

They have a little mini concessions with extremely reasonable prices and a great selection of sodas, chips, candy, and some yummy baked goodies. Walking into the theater you quickly see that there's not a bad seat in the house. These are the most comfortable cushion seats that can recline a bit and there are drink holders for the ice cold drinks from the concessions. This theater is small and intimate, but the show is big! Beautiful voices, beautiful music played live by a band, great lighting, and you feel every emotion these phenomenal actors portray. There's a selection of restaurants in the immediate area for a bite to eat before this amazing show. So glad to have found this gem and will definitely be back to see their future performances!

    Straight up, a FIVE-STAR venue! Online ticket purchases are a breeze. Parking is a non-issue with…read moreplenty of parking all around the theater. We have been there for bands, magic shows, seasonal shows etc. and have not been disappointed. The featured cover bands are the best! Anyway, walking into the theater is like walking into someone's home. The staff treats you like family! It is the complete OPPOSITE of all the stressful hoops you have to jump through at a large arena style event. The lobby is quite comfortable and has a lot of artifacts showing the amazing history of the resort. Will probably take a few visits to go through it all. One last thing. They made an error on their schedule which resulted in me having tickets on two different dates of the same event. Rather than send an email, they personally called me and gave me options that quickly resolved the issue! Although we've been guests at Welk's Theater for just over a year, I sure wish I had known about them sooner...

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish…read more Check-in was advertised for 4:00 p.m., but we didn't get our room until nearly 8:30 p.m., costing us hours of the vacation we paid for. Throughout our stay, we requested basic necessities like fresh towels and soap refills, but they never arrived despite multiple requests. On checkout day, housekeeping walked into our room at 9:00 a.m., a full hour before the 10:00 a.m. checkout, while we were still getting dressed. Our privacy was completely disregarded. I was also repeatedly singled out because of my service dog. Multiple employees yelled, "You better clean up after your dog," even though I was visibly carrying waste bags and had done nothing wrong. It was humiliating and showed a lack of training on how to appropriately interact with guests who use service animals. To make matters worse, I unexpectedly started my period and needed pads before the gift shop opened. Because the resort had no way to help and the trams were so unreliable, I had to walk all the way down the steep hill just to get basic hygiene supplies. For a resort of this size, that level of guest support is unacceptable. The most concerning part of our stay was the Russian tortoise in the kids' center. I am the founder of The Wise Frog Reptile Rescue and have spent more than 11 years rescuing and rehabilitating reptiles. The tortoise appeared to lack proper UVB and heat, and its shell was in alarming condition. I brought my concerns to staff, but they showed little interest in addressing them. My children were heartbroken because they immediately recognized the animal appeared to be in distress. An animal should never be displayed for children if its welfare is being overlooked. Between the delayed check-in, ignored requests, lack of privacy, treatment over my service dog, unreliable transportation, and concerns about animal welfare, this resort fell far short of the experience we expected. I hope management takes these issues seriously and makes meaningful changes for both guests and the animals in their care

My husband won a class via silent auction and we planned a mini vacation in Escondido so I could fly here for my birthday. It was perfect!

They helped improve my swing and taught me two new tricks! The class had a range of experience levels and they made sure each had individualized instruction at their level.

You can literally land in any position (arms outstretched, neck first, etc) and the net is designed to make all landings soft and injury free. Getting off the net is the hard part haha because it's so soft! :) GOOD FOR DATES? Yes and yes!
