Almaty National Circus, Circus building in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Almaty National Circus is a circus building featuring a striking circular structure designed in the Soviet Modernist style. The venue accommodates around 2,160 spectators and hosts regular performances throughout the year.
The institution was established in 1970 by graduates from Moscow's circus school and a local school in Almaty. Its first performance took place in June 1972.
The venue presents shows that blend traditional Kazakh performance styles with international acts, including acrobatics, gymnastics, and juggling. Visitors experience a mix of local talent and guest performers from different countries.
The circus building is centrally located on Abaya Street and is easily accessible. Tickets for performances are available both at the venue and through online platforms.
Since 2010, the circus expanded its program to include dolphin performances. These aquatic shows add a distinct dimension to the traditional entertainment offerings.
