This summer we celebrate the majestic legacy of elephants, both within the circus industry, it’s culture and here at Circus World. Since our opening day on July 1, 1959, elephants have been a part of our circus family. Many wonderful exhibits have been created by our curatorial team, including this demonstration of elephant involvement in Circus World’s offerings over the decades. Make your plans to visit this summer as we honor the biggest stars of this or any show. | Circus World
