NEW FOR 2016 
Drew Exposition, often referred to as America’s Amusement Park on tour, has added a new state-of-the-art fun house, The Clown House- a clown-themed glass house that will take patrons through the glass mirror maze by entering the mouth of the clown. After making their way through the mirror maze, patrons will climb the stairs then navigate through other obstacles and take a slide back to the ground.

Lady Houdini– Kristen Johnson is no “lovely” magician’s assistant. She’s Lady Houdini, an escape artist who has successfully performed thousands of public feats and broken Harry Houdini’s record for the most water escapes ever. She is currently the only female anywhere in the world attempting the water torture cell.  

K-9s in Flight– Audiences of all ages will be entertained by this non-stop, action-packed performance showcasing the top amazing K-9 sports, including K-9 dock diving, high jump and Frisbee all in a fun, high-flying atmosphere.
