It's time, my lovelies! At 6:30 tonight we're turning on the Scary-go-Round, the Scare-us Wheel, the walk-through vortex Vertigo Alley, and all the animated characters that make Cirque Del Sol the craziest circus you've ever seen. Hope you can come on by. We'll also be open tomorrow night if you can't make it tonight, or if you prefer a slightly less busy scene. Happy Halloween everyone!

We built a brand new carousel for Cirque Del Sol this year. Here's a short video of the not-quite-fully-decorated Scary-Go-Round v.2 in action.

Yes, we are here for Halloween 2025! Running Halloween night and the night after (Friday, October 31st and Saturday, November 1st). If you like the hustle-bustle of a party scene and lots of revelers, come Halloween night. If you prefer a more laid-back experience where you can take your time, come Saturday night. Better still, come both nights! All the information you need is on the poster below. We built a new carousel this year. I'll post a short video of it separately.

As they say on Reading Rainbow, you don't have to take our word for it! Award-winning Maniac Mansion hopes you will come check out Cirque Del Sol tonight or Saturday. Halloween night saw 934 people come to the circus, so these next two nights are your chance to enjoy the show at a much more relaxed pace.

A big THANK YOU to those of you who have sent messages asking about Maniac Mansion in 2024. How does time go by so fast??? While we're busy building, we forget to post. We will indeed be open this year, for three nights. Halloween night (October 31st) and then also November 1st and 2nd. So, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We hope you'll come and join the circus!

One more chance! Halloween night! One more chance to visit Cirque del Sol at Maniac Mansion before it disappears into the mountain mists for another year. Last Friday and Saturday were wonderful. We had 524 visitors and enjoyed every one of them. Got to talk to a lot of folks and they got to spend time with us. Halloween will be, if history is any indication, much busier. But that is its own kind of fun, so we hope you won't miss it. We open at 6:30 and go till 10. All the info you need is on the poster pinned to the top of this page. (No, you don't need a ticket -- it's free!) See ya!

October is getting a little long in the tooth, dearie! Well past time for us to update this page with the latest and greatest info. Plan on making a little time to stop by Maniac Mansion this year. We'll be here, and we'll be pretty lonely if you don't! Friday, Saturday, and Halloween night, just like the poster says. 🤡🎃💀

What a wonderful opening night we had tonight (well, okay, last night to be exact, since I'm writing this at three o'clock in the morning). Thank you to all who came out to see Cirque Del Sol at Maniac Mansion. We had a steady stream of visitors the entire night, but no long lines, and we had plenty of time to talk to folks who wanted to chat, and to take photos with littles (see photos in the Comments). We'll be here tomorrow night to do it again, and then again Monday -- Halloween night! -- when things will be a little more hectic, if history is any guide. We'd love to see you.
