Flynn Creek Circus

ScienceWorks Grounds

Every summer, ScienceWorks is proud to host Flynn Creek Circus on our grounds for a season of unforgettable performances and hands-on circus camps. Founded in 2002, Flynn Creek Circus is an acclaimed touring circus-theater company that combines breathtaking acrobatics, live storytelling, and theatrical artistry under their iconic red-and-white-striped Big Top.

This season Flynn Creek presents The Cricket & the Wren, a highly original, all-human fairy tale that enchants audiences with breathtaking acrobatics and stunning displays of athletic skill.
