I haven't been to the circus in ages and want to take our 25 month old daughter. Any input as to which show is better for a 2 year old would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance. -CK |

| Neither, my two year old wouldn't sit still and found some of the acts scary. We ended up leaving. |

| Big Apple Circus, hands down. No contest. Much smaller. Less scary. |

I would vote for Big Apple - it is also much shorter - 1.5 instead of 3 hours. But I am personally going to wait one more year until she is 3 instead of 2. I know if we go, that we will sit down for maybe 10 minutes, then wander the aisles the rest of the time. It doesn't seem worth it for that age group IMO. Of course, I am also broke, so that is weighing into my decision as well.
We went to see the dolphin show at the Baltimore aquarium, and she watched it for maybe 5 minutes, then wanted to do something else. That show was only 20 minutes long, and she still didn't have the focus to attend to it. |

OP here, thanks. Initially I was leaning to Big Apple, then thought RB since they have lots of animals (she LOVES animals).
As for cost, RB is on Travel Zoo at the moment so the tickets are fairly inexpensive (it's the additional fees that add up a little).
