The theater has its own lot at Calle Juan Sebastián Elcano 25 for €4, but you must buy the spot online before you go. It opens 60 minutes before the show and closes 30 minutes after.

Is two hours too long for a 3-year-old?

It can be, though the intermission helps. Every child needs their own seat ticket. Under-2s who sit on a lap pay €1, sold at the box office or picked from the dropdown when you choose seats online.

Can older kids go on their own?

No. Under-16s must come with an adult.

About

Circo Atayde is a Mexican family circus, 138 years old and now run by its fourth and fifth generations. This is its first time in Europe. The show is a classic ring circus: high-flying acrobatics, a lovable clown and other circus acts, all played live by an orchestra instead of a recorded soundtrack. Best for kids who can sit through a long show.

€17-30, discounts for under-16s

Oct 9 – 18, 2026
