Phare Circus is one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Cambodia. This is not a traditional circus with animals, but a high-energy mix of acrobatics, theater, live music, and comedy, all woven together through powerful storytelling. The performers are incredibly skilled, athletic, and expressive, and the show balances humor and emotion in a way that keeps you fully engaged from start to finish. What truly sets Phare apart is its purpose. The circus was founded by artists who survived the Khmer Rouge era, and today it provides arts education and professional opportunities for young Cambodians. Knowing that your ticket directly supports this mission adds real depth to the experience. The performances feel authentic, creative, and meaningful rather than touristy. Phare Circus is entertaining, inspiring, and deeply human — a must-see while visiting Cambodia.
Phare Circus supports various worthy causes. The show itself is exciting, with the performers doing impressive stunts. They were amazingly acrobatic, injecting the show with energy and fun factor. The included 2-way tuk tuk transfers were efficiently organised. My driver Sokkhen was punctual and friendly, and kept me updated on WhatsApp, making the experience even smoother.
This is a great way to spend a night in Siam Reap. Not only was the circus amazing but our driver Sokkhen made the trip there and back so enjoyable. He narrated the area and notable sites and provided tidbits of information along the way. What a night!
Good entertaining show. The driver soken from green era travels was very welcoming and friendly. The food at the place was also good. They have an exhibition of Cambodian arts and we picked up some nice jewellery
It was very interesting and fun. I also took a lot of photos. The pick-up and drop-off staff were very kind and very nice. Thank you.
Circus definitely worth seeing. Pick up in tuk tuk was great by Sokkhen. He went above and beyond, stopping at stalls for us to buy food
Sokhen went above and beyond. If I could give him 10 stars I would xx He picked us up at our hotel and took us to Phare Circus. On the way he pointed out various points of interest, showed us pictures of how Siem Reap looked years ago and stopped at a street vendor so that my husband could try some fried insects 🤢. He was there waiting for us after the circus..which was amazing…and drove us back to our hotel
Very nice show with great artists and performances . Top tuktuk services with very friendly driver included in this reservation from and back to the hotel A+++
The driver Sokken, communicated early on pick time and was very punctual. He was very kind. He was waiting out in front for me after the show and even stopped so I could buy some fruit. The show itself was fantastic. Very professional acrobats with a funny, theatrical flair. I highly recommend seeing this show
This was an extraordinary experience: Excellent high wire, traeze, juggling and gymnastics; amazing music and terrific instrumental/vocal performances; wonderful acting: great writing made even more outstanding was the work of our driver (sohken) who was both prowssional and delightful. All in all, this evening was more than memorable.
