Great night at the circus!

Fantastic night out at the theatre. Would strongly recommend it. The performance was amazing and the work they do as an organisation is incredible. Sokkhen was very punctual in picking us and even gave us a bit of a guided tour of Siem Reap on the way there and back!

Amazing service and beautiful show!!

Fantastic experience! My tuk-tuk driver ~Sokkhen Tith ,took me to the Phare Circus in Siem Reap and was wonderful from start to finish. Friendly, courteous, punctual and very reliable, he made the whole journey easy and enjoyable. He waited patiently for me after the show and made sure I got back safely. A genuinely kind and trustworthy person who made my evening even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Best Experience in Siem Reep

Phare Circus is one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Cambodia. This is not a traditional circus with animals, but a high-energy mix of acrobatics, theater, live music, and comedy, all woven together through powerful storytelling. The performers are incredibly skilled, athletic, and expressive, and the show balances humor and emotion in a way that keeps you fully engaged from start to finish. What truly sets Phare apart is its purpose. The circus was founded by artists who survived the Khmer Rouge era, and today it provides arts education and professional opportunities for young Cambodians. Knowing that your ticket directly supports this mission adds real depth to the experience. The performances feel authentic, creative, and meaningful rather than touristy. Phare Circus is entertaining, inspiring, and deeply human — a must-see while visiting Cambodia.

Impressive acrobatics show

Phare Circus supports various worthy causes. The show itself is exciting, with the performers doing impressive stunts. They were amazingly acrobatic, injecting the show with energy and fun factor. The included 2-way tuk tuk transfers were efficiently organised. My driver Sokkhen was punctual and friendly, and kept me updated on WhatsApp, making the experience even smoother.

Enjoy the Show

This is a great way to spend a night in Siam Reap. Not only was the circus amazing but our driver Sokkhen made the trip there and back so enjoyable. He narrated the area and notable sites and provided tidbits of information along the way. What a night!

Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

How much does Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up cost?

+

Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up take?

+

Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

Is Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up?

+

Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap by Phare with Hotel Pick-Up start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

+

On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Small-Group and Guide tours, Angkor Wat full Day 'Small Group with sunset & Tour Guide, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
