    I would really like to go to the Cirque Du Soleil, in July, But i was wondering if it is suitable for a two year old.
    or are there kids areas, where they can play while you try to enjoy the show?
    in my case is not the case on my little one sitting in my lap and watching the show because she is hiperactive.
    have you been to this show before?
    are there young children?

    thanks in advance.

    Personally, I wouldn't expose my kids to such high levels of pretentiousness at that age.

    Your kid won't enjoy it, you won't enjoy it with your kid there and neither will the people sitting next to you. Get a babysitter.

    If I were you, I'd take the opportunity to try and sell your child to the circus.

    They are always on the lookout for fresh talent, and after the kid's gone you can go back to the way your life used to be in your early twenties.
    Parties, drinking, orgies, all of the things you have been robbed of over the last two years..

    Also, you should be rolling in cash..
    Those cirque fellas have deep pockets..

    You want to bring a hyperactive child to a show that adults sitting around you paid tickets for to watch something in peace?

    Anyone else think from the thread title there was a small cute women in Cirque Du Soleil, and the OP wanted to do naughty things to them, or was that just me?

    Have been, have seen small kids, but they generally sat still and watched.

    Only you know your little one: will she sit through two 45-min performances? There was an intermission, but no real facilities for kids outside of the show itself.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Unless you want your child to be exposed to sweaty homoerotic movements by women dressed as men, men dressed as peacocks and peacocks dressed as 1930's taxi drivers while a rainbox sh*ts in your eyes and after the experience you feel a mild sense of shame and rough sense that someone has touched you in regions that usually chaff then I would recommend you go see the soon to be nominated epic drama Tooth Fairy ...

    No, no, no - OP clearly said Hiperactive - no doubt referring to the contortionist skills that the child displays when dislocating it's own hip in order to escape from the play pen and steal the panda chocolate spread.

    By Kerry standards, yes, I supose that was quiet humorous and insighful.

    I am however born and raised in Dublin, I have lived in Kerry for a few years now but Dublin is probably were my humour came from, in Kerry they are usually satisfied with laughing at a man riding a donkey backwards through the town, that still would be funny by my standards though

    Agreed.

    Next thing you know, your toddler will be saying that your wines are dull and opining that his dinner is "crying out for a smidgen of ginger".
