Two Bit Circus is an American amusement park and themed entertainment company,[1][2] marketing itself as the world's first "micro amusement park" for its smaller scale indoor attractions.[3] Located in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles,[4][5][6] Two Bit Circus opened a second location in Dallas, Texas, in 2022.[7][8][9]

Compared to Chuck E. Cheese and noted for its usage of virtual reality,[10] Two Bit Circus received positive reviews from critics and audiences upon its opening.[11] The two parks largely succeeded by innovating upon the history of the American traveling carnival,[12][13][14] with inventions like the fire performance dunk tank Flambé coming from the entertainment company prior to expansion into creating their own amusement parks.[15][16][17]
