Cirque du Soleil ECHO Under the Big Top, Oracle Park in San Francisco

Cirque du Soleil: A Family Tradition of Wonder and Magic

Cirque du Soleil always brings a whole vibe for your whole family! My family and I have been attending these magical shows for years as they've traveled through San Francisco and Sacramento. From Alegría to Kurios, Luzia to Kooza, each performance has left us mesmerized and craving more.

Our Kooza Experience

In January 2024, we took the kids to see Kooza when it came to town. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were walking into a party. With a red carpet rolled out, strolling characters, and an energy that buzzed with excitement, there was no shortage of interesting sights. From merchandise to tantalizing treats and fun photo ops, the atmosphere was electric. (There was even complementary wine for the adults before entering the tent)


If you've ever experienced a Cirque du Soleil show, you know it's some of the most breathtaking and daring performance art out there! The acrobatics in Kooza were particularly impressive - the wheel of death had us holding our breath, while the contortionists left us wondering if they even had bones! The kids were wide-eyed throughout the entire performance, and honestly, so were we adults.

Looking Forward to ECHO

November 20, 2025, to January 11, 2026

I cannot wait to again take my family to see ECHO when it comes to Oracle Park next fall! Based on our past experiences, I'm confident that ECHO will be fun, colorful, and playful, transporting us back to our imaginative childhoods.


The show promises to explore the delicate balance between people, animals, and the world we share through the journey of the heroine, Future. It sounds like exactly the kind of magical storytelling mixed with breathtaking performances that makes Cirque du Soleil so special.

Not only are these shows visually stunning, but there are always quite a few funny moments that have us all laughing out loud, plus audience participation that makes everyone feel welcome and valued. It's a family-friendly experience that everyone will enjoy (or you can make it a memorable date night with that special someone)!


If you're considering attending ECHO, there's currently a special offer to save up to 20% on select seats and show dates. Trust me when I say these memories are worth every penny. Our family photo album is filled with smiling faces under the big top, and I can't wait to add more from our ECHO experience.
