The holiday circus spectacular in West Palm Beach is so much less than spectacular. It's as if Ringling wants it's under studies to gain experience and give it's primary performers time off during the holidays, so they roll out a line up that seems much like walking out after the opening act. No lions, no tigers, no bears. Just camels and 2 elephants. No flying trapeze performers, just a strong man and a tight rope act. A few memorable comic moments from the clowns but otherwise I'll be sure to pass on this event in the future.

I love Ringling Brothers but it was not as I remembered from my childhood. I wanted to see more animals as most children do and less filler material. We had front row center seats that were pricey but if there had been some lions and tigers it would have made it much more exciting. I am used to 3 rings so a better explanation of the show would have been appropriate

I was very disappointed in this event. I will never attend again. What circus only has one clown. Really!! Ringling Bros is known for having three rings instead of one and it normally is spectacular. I would rather fly my kids to NYC and see this circus at Madison Square Garden. The was definitely the "trailer park" version.

The music, lights and gymnastic-type productions were quick breath-taking. Well performed. I was disappointed, however, with the lack of animals -- when I think of the circus, I think animals! Maybe it was because the arena was so small, but even our small local Shriner's circus had girls in fancy costumes on horses, camels and a giraffe. This production felt more "Cirque" than "circus -- oh -- and there was nothing "Holiday" about the show.
All that aside, my 4 year old was amazed and continues to talk about the circus days later and so, for that, I give it 4 stars.

I took my 5 year old daughter and my 6 year old niece, it was there first time at the circus. We arrived 1 hour earlier to see the backstage animals and a small pre-show. They couldn't wait to be seated and the show to start. It was priceless when I kept seen their face expressions, their big smiles and when the circus was on break they couldn't stop talking about it.

I know I haven't been to the circus in probably 30 years, but it certainly has changed a lot. Although my 5 1/2-yr old daughter was largely impressed (and my 86-yr old grandmother as well), I found it to be a little weak on the animal entertainment and what was "promised" by the souvenirs and program. Before the show started, we were inundated with overpriced sides - photo shoot, bouncy train, clown face painting - and tacky souvenirs. I guess this was to be expected. What was dismaying, though, was that one of the biggest features of the souvenir stands never appeared in the show. Stuffed white tigers were available in all shapes and sizes, the smallest and cheapest being $15. But no tigers featured in the show, not even brown ones. It's good that my daughter failed to notice this omission, or she might have been disappointed.
We did buy her a souvenir program, probably the cheapest souvenir you could get, but sadly the majority of the content in it did not match the show we saw. The acrobats and contortionists were good, and we all enjoyed the trampoline and high wire acts. I found most of the show to be a loud, overblown musical show that had more clown antics than contortionists.

Although we enjoyed our day at the circus, we were surprised at how small it was! We missed the opening parade, the wild animal trainer (lions and tigers) and the many clowns. This definitely was not the circus of the past! The performers were wonderful, especially "Anton."

The theme and the performers were good and fun for the kids. They had a good time.
The only thing that did not meet my expectation was that the show was alot smaller than I expected(1 ring vs a three ring circus. Based on the layout I would have went for $20 seats vs $30 seats. Why no lions or tigers?

Althought the acts were good, I was disappointed overall - not enough animals or animal acts to keep the children entertained. I was restless and bored by the end and so were many of the children around us.
