Essex Steam Train Presents: The Valley Railroad Circus Train and Big Top Tent.

Essex CT – Come one, come all, the Valley Railroad Circus Train is coming to town!

Your adventure begins from when you and your family are welcomed on the diesel powered train by the ringmaster himself. From there you ride the authentic Circus Train to the fairgrounds. Stepping off the train the only thing you’ll be wondering is what to do first!

Head over to the Big Top Tent for an amazing acrobatic show. Watch the troupe perform daring acrobatic stunts, a show that’s sure to be thrilling for everyone in the family. When you’re leaving the Big Top Tent, look for the “Punch and Judy” Puppet Show. It is fine if you get distracted though with everything going on at the Circus Midway. Don’t forget about the petting zoo that is sure to get the younger set excited. Here you’ll find a real camel and their very own Z-Donk (half Zebra/half Donkey)!

Keep an eye out for Kaboose the clown while you’re walking around, and make sure to stop in at the Clown in Progress tent. Here clowns let you into their world and show you how they get ready for the day, and each person walks out with their very own clown nose! Between the thrilling amusement rides, delicious circus food, and the live entertainment there are plenty of things to do for everyone.
