Not easy, for often Yelp may do multiple postings of reviews, focusing on a particular show or location, so I may be drawing from several rather than one listing. Generally, Yelp reviewers like circuses a lot. And generally, too, they are not hesitant to express discontent or anger.
Circus Vargas 4
UniverSoul 3.5
Big Apple 4.5
Venardos 5
Zoppe Family 4.5
Cirque ECHO 3.5
Culpeper & Meriweaher - 1 review: 5
New Ringing 2
Royal Hanneford, updated 2025: no reviews but this: “Hey there trendsetter! You could be the first review for Royal Hanneford Circus”
My hazy impression of Yelp at the circus: There are two audience blocs out there who may be biased in favor of either raving or ranting:
Legit circus lovers who tend to be unusually critical of New Ringling.
Cirque du Soleil snobs who tend to lay on the praise, as if willfully lost in a circus ink blot test. Give them more abstract pretension, and they’ll discover rare untold mysteries of life and the universe.
If there are other shows I have missed, fell free to sound out.

I haven't seen Vernados, but for me, it really looks like a great little show from the video clips that pass through my feed. I only wish they had a ring instead of a stage. But a pretty little tent, skilled and happy looking performers.
There's a horse based circus (can't remember the name), Zerbini Circus, Flip Circus, Circus Sarasota,
