Tour Group Circus Stop: Geelong and the Great Ocean Road
Hours on a coach? Give your group the stop they'll talk about for the rest of the trip. Stretch out the drive, laugh together and try real circus with professional circus artists, in our purpose-built studio in Grovedale, on the way to Torquay and the Great Ocean Road.
Why tour groups stop with us
- Get moving after a long drive. A guided warm-up and stretch shakes off the stiffness from hours on the road.
- A highlight, not just a rest stop. Guests try aerial silks and hoops, juggling and partner balances, coached by working circus artists.
- No experience or fitness needed. Every activity is adapted to the group, for every age and ability.
- Made for international groups. Our coaching is visual and hands-on, and your tour guide is welcome to translate.
- Easy for tour operators. One flat price per group, a clear running sheet, and a team that runs everything from start to finish.
- Fresh and comfortable. Clean bathrooms, change rooms and showers on site.
What happens in your session
- Welcome and warm-up: we stretch out the drive and get everyone moving.
- Circus stations: small groups rotate through aerial, partner balances, juggling and hula hoop.
- Group finale: everyone shows off a new trick, with plenty of time for photos.
- Time to relax: 30 minutes to rest, refresh and enjoy your own snacks before you're back on the road.
Sessions run for 2 hours: 90 minutes of circus and 30 minutes to relax. Short on time? Ask us about a shorter stop to fit your itinerary.
