About The Osman Shrine Circus
The Osman Shrine Circus has been delighting audiences in Minnesota for 101 years, making this the 100th St. Paul Osman Shrine Circus. We started the Osman Shrine Circus in 1923 and are proud to have been a part of the Twin Cities, Minnesota community since then and still going strong.
The Osman Shrine Circus is a Minnesota tradition that brings joy and excitement to thousands of families every year. Adored by kids and adults, our performance includes acrobatics, aerialists, clowns, horses, camels, dogs, cats, and more, who perform amazing acts and skills. They love sharing their talents with you—the fans that come to the Osman Shrine Circus each year.
Kids love the Shrine Circus! And if you’re an adult looking for some entertainment on your next night out, we’ve got plenty of exciting acts for you too! No matter what your interests are, you’ll find something to love at Osman Shrine circus.
We love being able to bring such a fun event to the Twin Cities every year, and we can’t wait to bring our show back to the people who make it so special: YOU!

With a regular admission or gold package ticket, the doors will open 1 hour before the show starts. For VIP tickets, there will be a designated entrance, and the doors will open 1.5 hours before the show starts.

Absolutely. Our premium parking passes are available because people asked for them. If you are someone who prefers premium parking, please take advantage of this service, as there are only 230 premium parking spaces available per show.
Will there be elephants at this years circus?
Yes. As long as Betty & Janice are healthy enough to perform, they will be at the Osman Shrine Circus. Betty and Janice’s health and overall care are always our main priority, so we can’t guarantee they will be in each performance or the circus in advance, however we fully plan on having these wonderful and majestic performers in 2024.
Will masks be required at the 2024 circus?
Osman Shrine Circus will follow all state and local mandates regarding masks. If a mask mandate is in place, we will require masks to be worn under the mandate. If mask mandates aren’t in place, we hope our patrons will make their best decision as to whether a mask is necessary for their experience.
Will ticket purchases be refunded if the circus is cancelled?
Absolutely. If unforeseen circumstances occur, such as Covid, tickets will be refunded. Our utmost concern is customer satisfaction, and providing an outstanding circus experience.
Will there be animal protestors at the circus?
We are guessing there will be. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we can’t prevent anyone from their right to free speech. While we have proven their claims to be untrue on numerous occasions, they have the right to their opinions.
Are circus animals abused?
Quite the contrary. We have seen firsthand how well cared for all of Carden International’s animals are. Carden’s animals are cared for better than personal pets. The claims of the protestors are completely unfounded.
I have a question not listed. How can I get my question answered?
The easiest way to get your question answered is to email the circus manager directly at manager@osmancircus.com. We want to ensure all of your questions are answered, in an effort to provide the best circus experience possible.
