The Phare Cambodian Circus was a beautifully artistry, athletic, and theatrical performance. The theatre was very cool with the air-conditioning, and they also provide complementary hand fans for loan. I was concerned about mosquitoes or other insects but there were none to worry about - it was a very accommodating and comfortable theatre. I was so engrossed in the show that it seemed short but honestly it was well worth the $24 CAN I paid. Would definitively do it again!

We were recommended this show by a tour guide… and it absolutely blew us away. I recommend getting there early for dinner, the ambience is great. You get reserved seats so don’t need to fuss over getting there to get seats, just chill and enjoy. The show itself is one hour of nonstop fun. Worth every penny, and supports local communities and troubled youth. It was an event. Everyone at the show was so thrilled at the end with how it went. 10/10

Definitely a highlight of my trip. Runs about an hour. I splurged for a premium seat -- worth it! Store before circus if you want to shop. Food looks like snacks, saw popcorn. Indoor tent was blissfully air conditioned but they lent us fans. Performers were talented, funny and expressive. Gave 100% to all the photos at the end too!

Fantastic experience - real talent and personality. A wonderful evening, enjoyed by everyone in our group (aged 6-70)

Brilliant show! It was really funny, entertaining and impressive. The event was also well organised.
