Took my daughter's here for some out of the ordinary fun. They had a blast. The staff was very kind and extremely patient. They went over all the safety procedures. They were slow and methodical. They allowed the girls to move through the elements as they felt comfortable. If you are in the area I highly recommend it. Have faith in their equipment and experience. Nothing is going to happen. If you trust them you'll have so much more fun. read more

The team is really good at coaching and encouraging you while ensuring your safety and what you are comfortable with. Will definitely be back for more flying trapeze classes! read more

My elementary aged sons loved Dallas Circus Center. They went for a few days for their winter camp and had a blast. They and I appreciated the variety of activities and the staff were professional, friendly, understanding, and very adaptable especially to my neurodivergent son. Hands down I recommend Dallas Circus Center and my sons would visit again read more

This was an epic experience! Chris was the lead helping us throughout the process, the other staff members were amazing! I think their names were Nick and Nate. They made you feel at ease, they were VERY patient and informative and made sure we were safe. I was terrified but I managed to complete 3 swings, I didn't do the knee hang with the connection but maybe I will next time, baby steps. my friend enjoyed her birthday and that's all I cared about. Great job guys! read more

This is such a crazy fun experience! Trapeze classes are set for 1 hour (1-5 people) and 2 hours (6-10)! We had a group of 5 and there was another person that was much more advanced practicing with us as well, so our time was 2 hours. When you arrive and check in, you sign your waiver if it wasn't done beforehand. They have a water refill station right by the bathroom and you'll want to stay well hydrated! We walked to the holding area and got our lesson on stance and how instructions are given (HEP means go, etc). Then you'll start the class! There is chalk along the wall leading up to the ladder and you'll definitely want to use that! My hands were so sore by the end! Instructors are clear, but some are a little louder than others and it can be challenging to hear some of the cues over the fans. I'm sure they would get microphones if the ones giving commands were separate from the ones that are safety / on ropes... but they were fairly understanding if you missed a cue. Photos at the end are $10 and you get all the ones taken. They are sent via an iCloud link and then you're able to download them to your phone. I didn't realize they wouldn't be able to share the videos that they are taking (they are for review only), so be sure to either record the TV or get someone to record your attempts! My best one didn't get captured, but there's always next time! Thanks DCC! read more

Fantastic fun. Great instruction. Safety belt and spotter made everything worry free. Lots of different programs. If your not sure they will let you come and watch one first. read more

Absolutely incredible experience. Everyone must try if you have any athletic ability. The coaches are the best and the harnesses are the worst, but they keep you safe. #safety3rd read more

If you want to do something you'll always remember, I'd highly recommend trying this place out! They have an array of things to do - all while being supervised by professionals! It's a very casual environment and they work with YOUR abilities to maximize your fun. The group I was in had a combination of kids and adults and none of us felt pressured to do anything we weren't fully willing to do while flying through the air. *Check out Groupon for some good deals! read more

Dallas Circus Center is wonderful! The staff made sure everyone felt safe and ready to go. They were so encouraging and that helped me tremendously! Can't recommend them enough! I'll be back read more

Wow! What an amazing experience. For the flying trapeze class, you book a time slot online and they group you with up to 9 other people for a 2 hour time slot. Each person takes turns practicing one skill at a time until you work up to the "catch" -- this is where a staff member connects with you mid air and you come off your trapeze bar. I felt completely safe the entire time and the guys that work there are very kind, encouraging, and give great instructions. You are in a harness the entire time and there's also a big bouncy net below that you gently land in after practicing each skill. I can't recommend this place enough for all ages. Go here, you won't be sorry! read more

CrossFit 3 Ring (the CrossFit gym associated and housed within Dallas Circus Center) is an excellent place for your next fitness journey. This gym is perfect for beginners or the seasoned CrossFit vet. You will find knowledgeable instructors who help you every step of the process. All members are super friendly and very encouraging, driving you to constantly be better. I have been here for around 4 months now and have really enjoyed my experience. read more

Probably had some of the most challenging and rewarding workouts here. It doesn't matter if you're an expert or amateur (like myself), the coaches make sure to walk you through each step of the workout to make sure we're doing the technique(s) properly and most importantly, safely. The staff here is super kind and inviting and makes you actually look forward to coming to the workouts on days when you may not feel motivated. The workouts encompass full body, HIT, target muscle areas, and strength training that will leave exhausted, yet wanting for more. This is a great and affordable place to be when trying to reach those health and fitness goals! read more

What a fun Friday night!! My friend and I booked the two hour trapeze class for the first time and had a blast. All of the employees are super helpful and encouraging for your first jump. Even though it was harder and scarier than we pictured they were there to encourage us. If you are thinking about booking a class I highly recommend it! We were done after a few jumps and got to watch a few of the pros practice and it was mesmerizing to watch them do their thing. Definitely worth it! read more

Me and a friend came for the trapeze class, I had no idea what to expect, but it was such a blast! The staff is so helpful and walks you through everything, as well as giving you instructions while you are in the air. They go at a great pace and never push you to do the next trick if you don't feel comfortable. I will say that this is not for the faint of heart and if you are even slightly scared of heights, maybe try another one of their classes. Overall, such a fun experience with great staff! read more

Anya was an amazing instructor! Very patient, kind, and funny! Made the experience that much more enjoyable for newbies to aerial silks! Will be revisiting and booking classes with Anaya! :) read more

Wonderful! So much fun! We went with a girls group of moms and were amazed at how much we were able to learn and do by the end of one class. We all bought a second class with a free third class. Just finished the second one it was even more impressive. The staff is super helpful, make you feel very safe. Highly recommend! read more

My friends and I went for a first-time flying trapeze class last week, and all of us, even the ones who said we would "never do a knee-hang" or any of the tricks (me) ended up doing everything we didn't think we'd be able to do. Instead of focusing the review on just how much fun and exhilarating the entire 2-hour experience was (read all the amazing 5-star reviews below for that!), I want especially to laud the seamlessness of the entire process. Once you get in, you're up in the air within 10-15 minutes -- the waiver signing, the introductions, the safety checks were all handled with speed and expertise. Never have I participated in a group activity that was this efficiently managed. The instructors (Donovan, Parker, and David) gave us all the information we needed to feel comfortable, and nothing more that would overwhelm us. These folks know that you're here to get on the trapeze and not sit around for a lecture on the history of the circus arts, so they get you up in the air ASAP. All in all, this brilliant time management meant that every one of us in the class (10 in total) were able to get on the flying trapeze at least 5 times each, develop upon very newly-learned skills immediately, and do more than we thought we could do -- exactly what they had promised. A wonderfully action-packed 2 hours that just flew right by, and I'll be sure to bring more friends the next time. read more

Amazing place with amazing people! You will not be sorry if you sign up for a lesson, the staff is very welcoming and encouraging.

Went to a class with my brother and his girlfriend...all adults and complete beginners. I couldn't believe they were letting us do such cool tricks on our first time! Back flips, catches, and hanging by our knees. The coaches were incredible and made us feel safe. Highly recommend!! read more

I got to take a trip to Dallas and spent 3 days taking classes and watching their students perform in the showcase this past November. It was a great time filled with supportive / knowledgeable coaching, lots of giggles, and talented students. I highly recommend taking a class and trying out the Dallas Circus Center. Circus is a great way to get in shape while feeling like you are doing nothing but having fun! Check them out!!! read more

We took our 13-year-old granddaughter last night. She loved it! The first time up the ladder to the high platform was scary for her, but the staff were so caring, reassuring and knowledgeable that she was hooked after the first swing on the trapeze. Definitely safety first. The very diverse group of 10 was so congenial and supportive and cheering each other on. And she successfully completed the hand off at the end of class. The staff really knows how to teach and make it fun and get amazing results. She was so pumped that we signed up for more classes! read more

I have been to 3 of the flying trapeze classes now and every one has been such a blast! The coaches do a great job helping you nail the tricks at your own learning pace. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

Are you looking for a new challenge? I certainly was! I decided to spend one of my week nights soaring through the sky via trapeze to get in touch with my inner circus gal. It was a rush! The team is very supportive, and you feel safe (harness and safety net). You can order great videos or images to brag about your experience to friends (proof!). And it it another thing to cross off the ole bucket list. I am looking forward to returning and trying new tricks with each trip! read more

Went here with the entire family and to say we had a blast would be an understatement. The entire process was amazing and we made lifelong memories! We had all ages in our group ranging from 7 to 40 years old and the way the class is setup, everyone is taken care of by the staff. They have patience with everyone and help guide you through the entire process. I would say this is a must do for anyone willing to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd be able to hang on the bar, but was able to do everything they had me try. Love Dallas Circus Center!!! read more

This place was awesome! Yesterday I visited for the first time and it was amazing. I had been wanting to check it out for a few months and finally decided to go! I was lucky enough to win a free session from my company right before the season closed. Everyone was great, Donovan, Mike, Katie, Mckenzie, even Thumper and Zena! They were so knowledgeable about everything and if you needed extra help they would take the time to explain it. We were such a small class we even got to learn an extra trick! If you needed a break they were more than happy to wait with you. I cannot wait to go back when the season reopens, I already booked a credit for next year! These guys deserve a ton of praise, I wish I had cash so I could have tipped them! I will tell everyone I know about this place, it's so much fun. Next season can't come soon enough! read more

Disclaimer: I'm super afraid of heights so anything that gets me to jump off a 30-ft ledge is 5 stars in my book. The staff was professional and friendly. They walk you through everything with great directions. They also work with you on modifications depending on your body type. Shout outs to Donovan, Katie and Jayson for being patient with us! The set up is simple and at all times there were two people who watched you - one to get you hooked up and set up on the bar and then the other to man the ropes to keep you from flying all around. Then everything that you do will be called out by someone on staff and just follow the instructions and you'll have a ton of fun! *Note they are in north Dallas and no longer in Dallas city proper SO type in 15505 Wright Brothers Dr into your phone and not Skyline Trapeze since Google and iOS maps still take you to the old location. read more

I brought my best friends bachelorette party here for a 2 hour session and it was PERFECT. The staff was extremely uplifting and everyone had so much fun! We learned lots of new things and were engaged and excited the whole time. We were originally worried we may not have the strength, but it turned out to be a-okay and we were able to manage learning many new skills. Would recommend!!! Wish I could come here all the time!!! read more

I booked a private party and everyone had a wonderful time. The staff were helpful and patient. We'll definitely be back!

A fabulous school for beginners and returners alike. I fly at many different rigs around the country, and this is one of my favorites. The rig itself just "feels right", it's set up really nicely and everyone that works there is awesome. As someone who flies as often as possible, Donovan and Katie could both tell that I love to fly and just want to improve, and were both incredible helpful with their tips and advice. Buy a T shirt, it'll make you look cooler at your next class. :) read more

This was a celebration weekend for my daughter and a friend for her 10th birthday. One LOVED and is ready for next class, the other ENJOYED but is happy with just the one experience. As a spectator, I fully enjoyed the experience and was so proud of the girls for being brave and attempting. It would be a little intimidating to get that high up and barely be able to reach for the bar... but they did it!!! The two are is a little vertically challenged for the 'catch' but were fearless. One's hand was hurt in the attempt/fail and didn't want to try again, the other had a successful catch on second attempt. I only wish they offered TWO successful catches to those who wanted to try again - so spectators could live vicariously and celebrate through the first catch and film the second catch (SMILE). Overall, very pleased with the employees. The were personable, patient, and just a joy to be around. The other participants were fun and encouraged each other. And Photos/Video are well worth getting! read more
