cincinnati circus company flying trapeze

I flew for the first time recently. I couldn't believe how fun it was. Yes it's high, but the feeling was unbelievable. Afterwards I realized what a great workout it was. I see why trapeze artists are so fit! The feeling when I let go of the bar and dropped to the net was breath taking. Thank you! Cincinnati Circus Company! You were great!

We were really looking forward to this, but I was rather disappointed in the event. It was only offered outdoors and it was getting ready to storm, so everyone was climbing an already shaky ladder in the wind blowing it around. The high humidity also made things slippery. There wasn't really much to it, you just jump off, swing and fall. But the reason I was disappointed is I expect a high attention to safety in this type of activity. My daughter is only 11 and, on her second trip up, they failed to give her any additional instruction including to chalk her hands. I know this may be a given to them, but not to a child that is used to doing only what the teachers allow. Her hands were slippery from sweating in the high humidity and she FELL because her hands were not chalked, She was then scared to death and wanted nothing more to do with it. I felt they failed in ensuring safety by not providing proper instruction each time, especially to a child.

Cincinnati circus offers trapeze and aerial fitness year round. I flew at the Western Hills Sports Complex. They were knowledgable and I felt very safe. Climbing up the ladder is the worst part. Flying is awesome. Come in comfy clothes and be prepared to have the time of your life. Lindsay and Andrew are amazing aerialists. The cincinnati circus is what makes Cincinnati so special.
