I recommend that every person young and old try to see this amazing show. My 2 yr old daughter smiled, laughed, clapped and cheered for the whole 2 1/2 hour show. I felt like a kid again. All of the pre-show activites were fun and exciting. I cant wait until they come again next year!!!!! I LOVED IT!!

It is not the circus I remember of 20 years ago. It is updated and an entertainment show well worth the money. Whether you are 2 years old or 85 years old, the show is wonderful.

The circus is still a great family value. Gone are the 3 rings of the past. The show is now presented with just one main focus. The show still remains a great way to spend an afternoon with the family. There is definately something for everyone.

What a memorable night for our family. The tickets were very affordable and the entertainment was spectacular. Both my 1 year old and 4 year old had a great time and were engaged throughout the entire show. We will definately go back again next year!

We sat on the 2nd row and had an awesome view for very little money! My whole family enjoyed it, even the hard to please teens:) The pre-show activities were wonderful and made the time go by quickly while waiting for the little ones. I will definitely go back, it was the best family experience we have ever had!

I took my 2 year old little boy for his birthday and he was in awe! The whole time he was watching and enjoying the show. I remember going as a child and even still felt the way I did as a child just pure hapiness. My son was so amazed that even at the end when he could barely stay awake he couldnt take his eyes off of the show! The workers were so friendly they helped us find our seats and were very nice to me and my child. I cant wait to take him again next time!

Ringling Bros. Circus is an event every child AND adult should experience at least once in their lifetime. My daughter and I were delighted by the talent of the performers and quality of the entire production. The excitement, laughter, smiles, and gigantic lollipop under the Big Top will forever be remembered. Thanks for the memories, Ringling Bros.!

This was my 1st visit to a circus. I guess I expected to see more animal shows and tightrope walking, juggling, etc. It seemed most of the show revolved around the ringmaster and some other guy battling over who's circus it was. And then the ringmaster's hat went missing for what seemed to be an eternity. And the singing 'over the top'--stringing out the word top forever was really 'over the top.' I understand there needs to be fillers while performers change, the previous segment is cleared so the next one can begin, etc. But it really seemed to take a long time. I am a 30+ y.o. mother and my 5 y.o. son was begging to leave about 30 mins into the show which lasted about 2 hours. The acrobats were cool, the animal shows were really impressive. But the set up/clean up for these acts far exceeded the time of the actual shows which was disappointing. It seemed more of a theatrical musical performance than what I stereotypically think of a circus.

I took my nieces (ages 2 and 10) and nephews (ages 2 and 7) who were visiting for the Thanksgiving holidays. This was our first time experiencing the Ringling Circus and I have several pictures that capture the amazement on everyone's faces. My niece (10 yrs old) is really hard to please (she thinks she is grown) and she was in total amazement and couldn't deny that she loved it. I've gone to other circus but now know that Ringling Circus is the BEST CIRCUS. The tickets were little pricey but alteast I felt like it was worth every penny. I sincerely hope to catch the circus the next time they return to my city.

My husband and I took our three year old grandson and two young nephews 2 and 5 years olds to the circus and enjoyed the event very much. To watch the joy and amazement on the children’s faces was priceless. We all enjoyed the show so much. Thank you for so much excitement and fun!

Nice show. Although, it was a bit too long. There was lot of time spent on clown tricks. I recommend getting the 100 level seats to really enjoy the show. The 200 level seats were way too high. All in all, we did have a good time

Was not as expected. Many of the most exciting acts were cut out- no longer a "3-Ring Circus". Was basic acrobats. The most memorable for us were the 3-ring acts and the person being shot out of the cannon- none of which were seen at this one. We almost purchased the most expensive seats to be in the show- glad we weren't. None of the people looked very excited about their experience since they got in the cart, drove around the much-smaller-than-usual floor and parked on the side all while the show was going on. They were packed like sardines in those 'trains' and many could not see because their backs were to the show. I woudl have been VERY upset had i paid the additional $50 per ticket to 'be a part of the show', and get carted around that small arena once or twice and park while missing that entire segment-which had the most action going on. Very displeased-may not return.

We had a great time at the circus. Everyone is so talented; the clowns were very funny, the acrobats were amazing, and my family was in awe over the motorcyclists in the metal ball. The only part we all agreed we didn't like was the Queen of the Clouds; it just wasn't funny and not entertaining especially considering the other acts were top notch.

I wasnt able to attend with my family after all due to illness, so gave the tickets to someone I work with for him and his family. They were absolutely enthralled and amazed! Was far more than they imagiined, and one of his daughters (6 yrs. old) is going to talk about it at "show and tell" at school this week. They can't get over what a wonderful time they had there! His daughters want to go again NOW!

Certainly there were some amazing acts, and overall it was a postiive experience for my kids. However, we were all disappointed in the amount of "down time" between big acts. Far too much time spent was devoted to the boring clown.
