Took our kids and one of the granddaughters to the Piccadilly Circus last night.
We had tickets for the kids.....admit one child 12 years or younger FREE ($7.99 value)
Hubby had gotten a mailing at work that included a ticket for a FREE adult admission!
So we're thinking...this should be pretty cheap!
WRONG!!!
We get in the door and hand the lady our tickets and she points out that on the adult ticket there is a $3.25 "Administration Fee" (whatever the heck that is!)
"With one adult admission, your total is $33.25"!!!!
WHAT!?
$30 for ONE ADULT!?
So basically, they charged us nearly $7 per person to get in.....not as cheap as we thought!
And the circus wasn't that great. We were expecting elephants, lions, tigers, monkeys, etc.
They had a kangaroo.....a boxing kangaroo to be exact.
The only other animals were a dog (dressed up like a lion...woohoo!) a snake and some kind of raccoon looking thing (not sure what it was called).....the snake and raccoon looking thing were only out for people to have their pictures taken with...they weren't even "in an act". Very disappointing.
Cotton candy was $5, popcorn was $5, snow cones were $5, light-up toy swords were $10....needless to say, we didn't indulge in ANY of these. We told the kids before we even got there that we wouldn't be buying anything, but of course, it's soooo tempting to kids, they had to ask. With the inevitable "No".....and then some begging....and a more stern "NO".
Funny thing was, we had just spent nearly $45 on supper for the five of us....the kids said they were all full, and yet somehow at the circus they were mysteriously hungry! Go figure!
