Fool’s Paradise

Fool’s Paradise, co-curated by the award-winning Head First Acrobats, delivers jaw-dropping spectacle and electric energy.

Other highlights include Lash Out, Bubble Show for Adults Only, Tickle and Tease, Dizzy’s Ultimate 80s Party Gameshow, Something Wicked, and the hilarious Twisted Tales – just to name a few. With multiple shows every night and buzzing late-night vibes, Fool’s Paradise is not to be missed.
