I thought the show was mediocre. It didn't have that wow factor I expected from the circus & there was only one act that I found impressive. The seats were small & the leg room was nonexistent . Overall, I couldn't wait to leave.

bad ,horrible, pathetic, way over priced, weak acting and even worse magic acts. my 3 year old was telling me how they were doing magig(look hes hiding in the bpottom and shes standing on top of him) 8 bucks for a lemonaid, 10 bucks for cotton candy, 7 bucks for popcorn. this circus was a joke, never seen such a bad performance in my life.

The show Coney Island Illuscination was vibrant and full of energy. There was a definite family atmosphere. There were funny clowns,exciting wire acts,and thrilling animal acts. I would say there was something for everyone.

It's been years since I've been to see the show and the performance definitely brought back some wonderful memories. This show is a pleasure for adults and a big hit amongst the youths. The acrobats encountered a few mistakes and the elephant pooped during the performance but the performers were excellent at keeping the show going. The best part is that the tickets are very affordable. I definitely recommend Ringling Bros Barnum and Bailey as a must see!

I was very unimpressed. I brought my daughter to the circus at Coney Island and Madison Square last year and both shows were fantastic. But this year's show at Coney Island was more like a high school play. The Elephants and Lion acts, the Horse act was true to form Ringling as was the Chinese acrobats but the rest of acts seemed very small town and diluted the overall experience. There was a cat act. A cat act!!!??? I felt I was at my aunt Bertha's living room when we all have to smile and look amused as not to offend poor Aunt Bertha. The clowns were so so, again not up to the standards we expect from Ringling.

There's a lot more to the circus than I remember from my childhood. Maybe they're trying to hold the attention of media-entrenched youth, but it was a sensory overload for our family. Our son, almost 3, was completely overwhelmed by the constant music, flashing lights, and boisterous announcers. It was like a high school talent show on caffeine and speed. After he emerged from his light-and-sound induced coma from the first half, our son let us know that he was ready to go back to our apartment. It would have been nice to see more animals and actual talent rather than lewd dancing and C-grade slapstick, which seemed to be a cover-up for the lack of substantial content.
2 stars is for the performing cats, without which the show would have been a total flop. Anyone who can get a cat to do anything gets my automatic respect.

Took my 3 year old to see show and had VIP seating. I haven't been to the circus since I was little. Was good fun. I would go again. Try and get seats in the very first row if you have smaller kids. My daughter had to stand on my lap most of the show to see over the head of the one row ahead of us.

My Grandbabies had a spectacular time @ their first circus adventure.
Very good audience interaction, little one LOVED Susie the elephant
The clowns as always were very funny. Costumes very colorful & sparkly
as per my oldest who loves costumes. Overall a great Family Outing to
the circus.

I chose this show to take my 3-year old son to his first circus. He enjoyed it immensely. The 1-ring setup makes for a cozy atmosphere. Although we sat in the first row, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Come back to Coney Island again!

I hadn't been to the circus since I was a kid and it was really fun. How they get those animals to do those things is simply amazing! The clowns were "modernized" which was good. Facility was fine. It was nice that it was smaller so we were all closer to the action.

We definitely liked the one ring format and the close proximity to the stage. The only disappointment is the banners displaying guys on motorcycles on the way into the show, so we expected to see something with motorcycles - we thought maybe the motorcycles in the round cage or something like that. We felt it was a little misleading since there was no motorcycle act.

I really enjoyed the performers efforts to entertain everyone and the interaction with the audience. I also appreciated the opportunity to participate in a quiz for the chance to win a new Wii game Barnum & Bailey.
I love my dad for buying the tickets and taking there over the weekend.
p.s. thanks dad for the DS Game too.

Superb show by a truly dedicated energetic cast.. I loved it and also loved the pre-show for kids event that my 5-year old grandson had such a good time at as welll. The clowns were wonderful with the audience. I've been a circus afficinado for 40 years and truly throught RRBB did a great job on this show. Hope they come back to Coney Island next year. Thanks for making it so affordable!
