      • The flying-saucer-shaped building, seating 2,312, was built in 1967.
      • The dome stands without internal supports; the mechanical scientists Mushtari, Galimov and Sachenkov confirmed it would not collapse.
      • Kazan's first circus was built in 1890 by the Nikitin brothers in Black Lake park.
      • In 1971 the designers received a USSR Council of Ministers prize.
      • The circus has a museum (since 1995) and a children's circus school (since 1996).
