What Makes This Circus Different
The Great Benjamins Circus isn’t your average entertainment experience. This is a touring production that brings together performers from across the globe, each at the top of their craft. Expect precision acrobatics that defy gravity, comedy that works for every age, and moments that will have you holding your breath in anticipation.
Every act is carefully curated to create a seamless flow of excitement. The production team has designed this show to balance high-energy spectacle with intimate moments of artistry, ensuring that whether you’re seated front row or in the back sections, you’re fully immersed in the action.
The Sutherland Speedway Venue
Located just off Circle Drive, the Sutherland Automotive Speedway provides ample parking and easy access from anywhere in Saskatoon. The big top setup creates an intimate atmosphere despite the scale of the production — no seat is a bad seat when you’re under the canvas with hundreds of fellow audience members sharing the experience.
The venue’s location makes it convenient whether you’re coming from Stonebridge, Willowgrove, or downtown. Plan to arrive early to allow time for parking and entry. The box office opens one hour before showtime, and concessions will be available throughout the event.
Perfect for the Whole Family
This show is designed with families in mind. The 90-minute runtime keeps younger audience members engaged without overstaying their welcome, while the variety of acts ensures there’s something to captivate every age group. From the youngest kids mesmerized by colorful costumes to grandparents appreciating the skill on display, everyone leaves with favorite moments.
Seating is general admission, so families can sit together and choose spots that work best for their group. Many attendees bring cushions for added comfort during the show.
Make It a Saskatoon Weekend
Combine your circus visit with other Saskatoon attractions. The Remai Modern is just a short drive away if you want to add some art to your day. Families might enjoy stopping by the Forestry Farm Park & Zoo before or after the show. For dinner, the nearby 8th Street corridor offers everything from quick bites to sit-down restaurants.
If you’re visiting from out of town, this is an excellent opportunity to explore what Saskatoon has to offer in late April, when the city is shaking off winter and spring is taking hold. The riverbank trails are beautiful this time of year, and downtown businesses are fully back in swing.
Practical Information for Your Visit
Each performance runs 90 minutes with no intermission, keeping the energy high throughout. Doors open one hour before the listed showtime, and we recommend arriving during that window to get settled and enjoy the pre-show atmosphere.
Parking is available on-site at the Speedway. Concessions and merchandise will be available for purchase. Seating is first-come, first-served within your ticket category, so earlier arrival gives you more options.
The big top provides shelter, but dress in layers as temperatures can vary. Comfortable seating is provided, though some guests prefer to bring stadium cushions.

With only six shows scheduled across three days, tickets move quickly. The Great Benjamins Circus visits each city once per tour, making this a genuine limited-time opportunity. Once the big top comes down after the final Sunday performance, it’ll be years before this caliber of circus entertainment returns to Saskatoon.
