An amazing fun outing for both kids and adults .. highly recommend this
What a fantastic performance ! We'll worth a visit. Amazing acrobatics and visuals Both kids and adults will love it Super easy to get to as it is located right next to the station with the same name on the red 1 line. I highly recommend this. It far exceeded our expectations

Not the best value item on trip advisor
We got VIP tickets... completely unnecessary expense. Just get A tickets if you can My tickets came through from trip advisor with a barcode only. No one at the door or ticket office knew what to do without a QR code so it took 15 minutes or so to enter. The show was great but not brilliant. It was also too short, and no interval ... probably cos it's over too quickly People filming and photos with their phones all the way through. Not great value for money for over 200 quid.

A very entertaining show.
A very entertaining show! My 9yo son enjoyed it as much as my 70+yo mother. Be sure to leave a lot of time to get there as traffic can be bad during peak hour.

Best tour guide
We had an excellent experience with our tour guide Mary. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very organized spoken English very well Mary made our experience very interesting by sharing great information and local insights. She was also very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. Thank you, Mary, for making our visit memorable. Highly recommended — definitely a 5-star guide!

shockingly poor for the money
absolutely shockingly bad for a $60 show. production levels are nowhere near any international equivalent and honestly are worse than the local circus in London (giffords). some skills shows are great. most are average at best or even poor. the crowd were very late, disruptive, on bright phones, talking throughout. i would never go to this again

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show 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 Shanghai is not rushed.
Is Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 243 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show?
+
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 Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show 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 Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show?
+
Around 85 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 Shanghai 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 Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shanghai Circus World: ERA2 Intersection of Time Acrobatics Show 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 Shanghai 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 Shanghai?
+
On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. 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 Shanghai?
+
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 Shanghai?
+
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.
