Experience the rush of soaring through the air at Chicago’s only Flying Trapeze rig. Learn from expert coaches and become part of a dynamic circus community.
Ever dreamed of flying like a circus performer? At Get A Grip Trapeze, that dream becomes reality. As Chicago’s go-to destination for aerial adventure, you’ll experience high-flying fun in a supportive and exhilarating environment.
Flying Trapeze is an exhilarating circus art where one person launches from a 22-foot platform and swings on a bar, preparing for a mid-air handoff (or catch) by another flyer across the rig. At Chicago’s only flying trapeze rig, we teach a range of thrilling tricks as your skills progress—starting with the knee hang and backflip.
Don’t worry—our enthusiastic, safety-focused coaches guide you step by step. Many students complete their first catch on day one!
