We took my 3 year old grandson to see the circus and he loved every minute of it! He clapped for everything and loved how close he was to all the action! Great show!

Better than expected, but too long (~2&1/2 hours).
Cover your children's ears when leaving outside from the rude & miserable PETA or pita demonstrators.

We bought 2 tix for 135$... We were close but closer to the noise. Which in turn caused a migraine and our early departure. ALL OF THE circus nick-nacks were waaayyyyy too much. A bag of Cotten candy was $14... "Yes ma'am, 14$ because of the circus hat it comes with"... Ok how much without the hat? "You have to purchase them together" I expected to spend $$$$ for my Son to have a great experience... But a light up tinker going for 22$ wasn't my idea of a good time. I wouldn't recommend this show at all. We were waiting for motorcycle stunts and happy clowns, instead we a waaayyy too long dog segment and the majority of the cast on the floor at any given time looked as if they were less than enthusiastic to be performing. Again I say, I would NOT recommend this show at all.

We had a great time at the circus. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey group never cease to amaze us. This was the third year in a row that we have attended and each time the performance has been different from the last and always a delight to watch!!!

The last time I saw Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus was when I was 11 years young. I took my family to see it in Hartford, CT for Mother's Day 2013. That's 46 years later! I could not believe the transformation. Much of it has to do with safety issues and streamlining the show. At first, I couldn't help comparing it to what was the Greatest Show on Earth. The preshow in the 60's in Madison Square Garden had fire eaters, sword swallow-ers, the elephants were at an arm's length, and we bought bags of peanuts and were able to touch and feed the elephants. The excitement was palpable. I had to stop comparing in order to stay in the present and enjoy the immense about of talent, animals, glitz, showmanship, and strength. 46 years later the skill and strength of the performers on the high wire and trapeze still took our breath away. But the show has a lot more glitz now. Lots of dancing, cheerleading stuff. But the energy and the performers were on spot and connected to the original shows 40, 50 years ago. There are two performers. A man and a woman who act like the ring leaders / entertainers. The woman's style was VERY much like what one would expect at the Greatest Show on Earth. She "got it!" She had the flair, the presence, of vaudeville, from which the Circus's clown / slap stick acts were born. Her presence boosted the Circus. I think for me, I was so close to the floor that I could see the details of her face and gesticulations. It was as if she studied Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, and other great comedic stage performers. She embodied the flare of Ringling Bros. The clowns were the best ever in costumes and acts.The clowns on stilts were the best. My young children loved the animals. 16 tigers we counted! Amazing. The horses were shiny beautiful, glitzt. They all appeared to be well groomed and healthily fed, and loved. I loved to see the tame tigers. My kids were amazed at that. The elephants are probably the most well kept elephants in any on the road circus. It is after all the Greatest Show on Earth and to be fair to the Circus' restructuring... they feel they have to compete with the times and the glitz is part of it. The showmanship... the 50 or so cheerleader like dancers... I loved being up front... 5 rows from the stage where the performers all come out. I wouldn't sit anywhere else! We sat to the right of the $100 seats. I would not like to sit there. The performers make them all come out and sit in tea cups (think Disney tea cup ride), hooked together like a train and bring them out to the floor. So that 30% of them, depending where they sat in the tea cup,once it stopped for a show (trapeze) had to twist their bodies / necks to see the act. I would have hated that. I loved my seats. We were approached by a clown... I was amazed at the attention to detail... every strap, every inch of makeup, she like the others was amazing and the kids loved her. I just love that Ringling Bros. has an attentive eye on every small detail. And from our seats we could see the little hairs on the back of the baby elephant as she strolled by on her big soft cushion feet.

It was upbeat, colorful, and fast moving. When one event was finishing, another had already been set up to watch.

This was a great show. My two year old and I went for Mother's Day, since my husband is deployed and couldn't come. I was happy that the parking was accessible and safe. The show was spectacular and interactive. It kept my daughter's attention the entire time. The downside is that a lot of the items were rather pricey, which is difficult for a family on a budget or with multiple children. I would like the items and food was more affordable.

We come to the circus every year. I liked the way that things were rearranged and the elephants came out before the very end. They also changed up the acts so there were some new ones. The unicycles were great! That was my daughters favorite! The elephants were my sons favorite - always! He won the elephant picture & that made his day. We were there for his birthday so it made it even more special!

The show was fantastic but there was a problem with our tickets that caused my granddaughter to miss some of the preshow. The problem should have been resolved prior to us getting there and NEVER been a problem for us.

talented performers, amazing athletic stunts better than the olympics. The animals were beautiful and well trained, especially the poodles! They delighted the kids. This was my favorite circus that i have seen. Our ages in our group ranged from 6-68 and all enjoyed very much. There was always something going on to entertain the crowd. It was easy to get tickets on ticket master and they were one of the least expensive sites. The only disappointment was the outrageous expense for concessions. I know that they have been always expensive, but the prices were disgusting for crap food and drink.It is worse than ever. Many many people were talking about it. It puts a cloud over the outing. i bet more kids would have those junkie light up toys and eat more food if they lower the prices so in the end ,the event would make the same amount of revenue or more and more families would walk away happier.
