Get ready for an evening under the Big Top! Join us for Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza.

This high flying production has all the risks and rewards for which Cirque du Soleil has become so famous, from the aptly named “Wheel of Death” to a frightening number of acrobatic feats achieved without safety nets. Countered by impish moments of clownery and comedy, Kooza’s acrobatics and stunts are consistently impressive and makes for a dazzling night under the big top.

We’ll have a late lunch together before the big show.
