Coco Bongo offers spectacular afternoon family shows featuring high-energy acrobatics, circus performances, and beloved character tributes that captivate kids and parents alike.

Attend the afternoon family shows, typically offered on weekends and during peak tourist seasons (November through April and summer holidays). Weekday performances during low season may be less available, so verify schedules in advance.
The family show lasts about 90 minutes and includes non-alcoholic drinks. Reservations are required and should be made well in advance during peak travel periods. The venue is air-conditioned, and food is not typically included in standard tickets.
Family shows are more frequently scheduled during high tourist season (December through April) and summer vacation months. Always verify family show availability before booking travel, as they may be limited during September and October low season.
