If you’ve never been to a Cirque Du Soleil show, you’re missing out. It’s safe to say that it might not even be what you’d expect it to be about. This is because Cirque Du Soleil takes pride and puts a ton of effort into each and every one of their productions.
We’ve been fortunate to go to several of their shows together as a family and I can assure you that we’re always ecstatic and immersed every single time. Why wouldn’t we be?
The shows are fast-paced, artistic, and full of talent and are created in a way that tells a magical and beautiful story as well.
I received complimentary admission to Cirque du Soleil VOLTA. All opinions are my own.

What always amazes me about a Cirque Du Soleil performance is the level of detail and hard work that goes into it.
It’s obvious from the moment that the show starts that every single person on stage and behind the scenes has poured their heart and soul into the performance.
What to Expect at Cirque Du Soleil
You can expect to see many things at Cirque Du Soleil, but here are some of the top things to keep in mind.
-
Amazing costumes
Every costume for every type of show is different. They’re all detailed, beautiful and really quite unique. There are times that the female costumes might be considered a bit provocative, but if you know that going into it, you’re not going to be surprised by it during the performance.
-
An exciting show
You will not leave there disappointed. Arrive early, be prepared to be there for several hours, with most shows typically lasting two hours and a 25- minute intermission. During intermission, make certain to get back to your seats so you don’t miss the beginning of the second half.
-
Stunts, magic, and tricks
You’ll probably have to remind your kids to “not try this at home” because the show is full of some amazing stunts and tricks. You’ll more than likely be seated on the edge of your seat the entire time, longing for their next acrobatic stunt. (Seriously, how do they do some of those things?!)
-
Souvenirs
Yes, there will be a variety of merchandise available at the gift shop of the show, including T-Shirts, light up toys, ornaments, hats, scarfs, and more. Prices starting out at $15. You can also visit their website online Cirque du Solei.
-
Food
There are food and drink concessions available at Cirque shows which may include hotdogs, popcorn, and cotton candy. You can also purchase beer or wine. Be prepared for movie theater prices.
While I could go on and on about what to expect, having the opportunity to see a Cirque Du Soleil with your family can be quite the unforgettable family-night out.

This performance is daring, breathtaking and full of extreme sports stunts! You’ll be able to see some of the coolest stunts around. The core message of the show is to stay true to who you are, without having to sacrifice your potential. (if that isn’t a message that we all need to hear, I don’t know what is!)
