Featured Review

We had a magical evening thanks to Dave and Jamie!
This was my Husband's FIRST circus, and he had so much fun, he's ready to go again - or "run away to join"!
I cannot say enough about the care that was shown to the animals - as animal lovers and activists, this is a very important issue to us both.
As a nurse of some (!)...... years- my observations included: excellent nutritional and hydration status, as well as the sparkling eyes that showed overall good health in ALL of the animals we saw. They were treated with unmistakable love and respect. I honestly feel that they were having fun too!
As far as the circus perfomance: I have always loved the traditional top-hat ringmaster and the trappings of the "greatest show..." But -

The awesome energy and magic that we experienced from this incredible illusionist was a welcome breath of fresh air. Dave and Jamie added top-notch professionalism in such a colorful and artistic way that it was all we could do to stay in our seats!

Thank you for helping to modernize a great concept.

It has been forty years since I saw Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey Circus. It was much better this time. The circus this time was a single ring instead of three and it makes it so much easier to focus and enjoy the show. I asked my 6 year old granddaughter what was the best part and she stared at me and started to speak and stopped and started to say something and stopped and thought and finally said ALL OF IT! That pretty well summed it up. My twelve year old granddaughter said it was the best day ever. Works for me.

I took my grandkids to the ringling bros..2 years ago in beaumont...they loved it because they had never been before. BUT, it was NOT the biggest show on earth...very small, I was disappointed. They had a long, long segment of a clown with a tiny bike. a few elephants and some horses. Not the biggest show on earth I remember...I enjoyed the small shrine circus better. Plus I didn't even get the seats I ordered.

Me and my family were very disappointed with this event, it was boring it wasn't "the greatest show on earth" at all, as they proclaimed. They were just killing time with the guy lifting stuff and the clown.

I really enjoyed the show, especially the master of ceremonies high jinks. They featured a dog show where they jumped through hoops and bars. The acrobatics/gymnastics was great. The highlight for me was the elephant show; it is unbelievable how smart those animals are. The 3pm show did not feature any cats, i.e, the lions, but I guess they were feeding or asleep. Overall, it was a fun show.

The individual acts were all excellent. I was disappointed in the size of the show and missed both the booming voice of a circus master and multiple clowns. What was there was great....just not enough.

My Mother and I enjoyed the show very much. It had been a long time since my mother had seen the circus. Her father use to take her, brother and sister over to South Bend, IN only to see the animals unload and to set up the circus...Interesting enough, once upon a time a long time ago, Mr Bailey of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus stopped by my Mom's house for a visit...you see he was part of the family. That's why it was so important for me to take her to the circus.
Thank you.

As I child I recall going several times to the circus in Madison Square Garden. The memories are unforgettable. Women standing on top of galloping horses, clowns all over the place, performers swing high up on the trapeze, caged big cats.

What happend? Sunday I took my granddaughters to the circus here in Estero, Florida and it looks like the circus left town before we got there. What a poor performance! How many times did we need to see Dimitrius, the Incredible Ukrainian Strong Man? Once would have been enough.

Not the circus I remember from when I was younger. 1 Clown in costume and makeup. My grandaughter loves clowns very dissapointed that there was only 1. The animal performances were very good. Each act had it's own special moment, Not sorry that I went.

My 5 year old granddaugther & I enjoyed the Barnum Bash Show however we were a bit dissapointed in not seeing more animal acts or clowns. I remember when the Ringling Brothers was "the" circus act to see but now it appears they blend in with the others run of the mill shows.

I was disappointed because there were no tigers or lions. I kept thinking the big great ending was coming but it didn't. Lots of cool people acts but the 2 guy comedy act that went on during the entire circus was annoying. For the $ I was expecting more.

Was not like it use to be! To small. To much dancing. The best part of the whole show was the old guy with the comedian. The elephants were great along with the other animals. Everything else was boring. I thought it would be like the old days when I went so I took my children, I was wrong. Would not recommend it. Sorry.

Great show but a little disappointing that there were not more clowns there. Kids relate circus with clowns. There was only 1 clown in the whole show. He did a good job, but missed a funny stint with a bunch of clowns like we are used to.
