Step into the original “circus town.” Circus World in Baraboo is a Wisconsin Historic Site and living circus museum set on the Ringling Brothers’ original winter quarters—where preserved history and live big-top performances share the same grounds along the Baraboo River.
Inside, you’ll find one of the world’s most significant collections of circus wagons (250+ restored parade wagons) plus vintage memorabilia and a miniature big-top display that brings the show to life—then you can catch classic circus acts in person during the summer season.
