Circus World, Theme park in Haines City, Florida, United States.
The park covered a large area at the intersection of Interstate 4 and US Route 27, featuring circus-themed attractions and entertainment venues.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus established this entertainment complex in 1974 as their winter base and training facility for performers.
The facility contained an extensive collection of circus memorabilia, including vintage train cars and artifacts from the Barnum and Bailey legacy.
The park reached its maximum visitor numbers in 1979 with 1.3 million guests before facing competition from Walt Disney World's expanding attractions.
The original plans included constructing a 19-story hotel shaped like an elephant, though this structure never materialized during the park's operation.
