Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Barnum Bash Tickets

We took our 3 and 5 year old children to the show, and they absolutely LOVED it! There was a great mix of acts, and they were captivated the entire time. ... The only reason I didn't give it 5 Stars was because there were no Lions/Tigers as part of the show. Images of Lions/Tigers were on the promotional items (posters, program, etc) - but apparently, they are not part of this tour. ... My son was disappointed when they never came out, since that was something he was really looking forward to seeing. But he did love the elephants and the motorcycles, so he still loved the show.

Fun evening had by all! This was my daughter's first circus experience and she was expecting more clowns and tigers but other than that she really enjoyed it.

We enjoyed all of the acts at the Barnum Bash circus. The acrobats, clowns, animals, and dancers were amazing. We arrived early for the pre-show events and found that it was easy to park, find out seats, and enjoy the show. We only wish that the tigers were part of the act.

From three rings to one, and the one ring had gymnastics as much as anything else. Gone are the true trapeze artists, numerous and famous clowns and the midget car that held more clowns than you could fit into a semi... gone are the "wild" and dangerous animals. Having said that, the animal trainers were, in my view, one of the highlights with performing elephants, camels, horses, shetland ponies and dogs. Exciting was the motorcycles in the sphere act. The economy and the animal rights activists have certainly had a major impact on what used to be. I wonder if getting true trapeze artist and a high wire act would be too costly for the circus to make a profit - it would sure make a big impact on this downsized show.

Boring....acts were lame...waste of money. Not up to par for past shows.

STILL IS THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! NEED I SAY MORE!

I took my 3 year old grandson; he loved the Elephant and dog show. he became bored that the two man show with the suitcase and the boxing match. Please cut that out of the show. it doesn't belong in a circus act. Overall, the show was entertaining.

I would recomend this show only if the family was taking children. I'm a senior that have seen the last 5 shows & this one did NOT measure up to the others I don't every recall seeing a show WITHOUT the big cats. Too much time was spent on the big musle man bending bars & lifting weights. I can see that in the local gym. Also the clown & band leader parts was over done. Maybe had I not seen many other well done Ringling Brothers shows, I would not have been so disapointed

This was my 2 year old's first circus and she loved it! All of the acts were great, even for my husband and I. We went to a different Ringling Bother's show about 4 years ago and it was so bad it was just depressing. This one was 100 times better, almost Vegas-like. I would highly recommend seeing it. If they were in town longer I would have bought tickets to go again!!

our over experince was awesome, we had great seats, the performerds were great, their wasn't a dull moment. my 7 yr old son loved it, he spoke about it all night. Thnak you.

The circus was full of small children and there was only one clown! Mostly acrobatics and a strong man. Only animals were elephants, dogs, horses and 2 camels. At last year's show at least there was lions. Will not attend again!

Compared to last year's circus it was rather boring. My 6 yr old grandson was less than thrilled and ready to leave by intermission although we stayed waiting to see if the big acts were to come in the second half which was better than the first half. The animal acts were minimal and it seems the side show theme featuring the strong man was lackluster. Their nod to Cirque du Soleil with their silent clown was annoying and paled in comparison. There were a few acts that we did find exciting but overall not enough to make us want to see the show again or recommend it to other as we did after seeing last year's show.

Very good one ring circus with all the essential elements including a touch of Cirque as well. Very high energy. Excellent dog act, Very good Camel and horses liberty act, Best "Spinning Ring of Death" I've ever seen. The clown topped off his show-long running gag with a bit of mime, involving a suitcase with a mind of its own that ought to keep him employed for as long as he has the energy. The "side show" bits went too quickly but were interesting. The opening of the second half acrobats probably had lost a little by the third show of the day we saw but were eye popping. If you are looking for Ringling Circus tradition, this isn't the show, or the music for you, but on it's own merits the Feld's are to be congratulated for putting it on.

I think the performers were great. The venue was ok. Last years performance was better at a diffferent venue. The ceiling was too low and obscured the view of some of the acts from the seats that were up high. Last year's performace was more thriling but it was a great time anyway. The main clown performer was the best. He is very talented

This circus was different for a change. No three ring, just one ring. It was smaller but nice because it wasn't over crowded and my son was able to concentrate on one event as oppossed to three, which can get overwhelming for a 3 year old. Obviously by being on the smaller side, the show was slightly limited, but overall nice.

Excellent family entertainment! My kids loved it - We loved it too!

This was a mini-circus. The few real circus acts were great. There was way too much of the strong man. Left at intermission as did many others,

Enough of Dimitri the strongman - that dude was made into the star of the show. No clowns and no big cats was pretty sad - I paid over $200 for 4 front row seats and was disappointed. We go every year but not sure about returning to this 1 ring circus sans clowns, lions or tigers. Was that a budget cut or what?

This year the circus was far superior to last year's event. The fellow with the boom box was truly annoying last year.

Another excellent show by Ringling Bros.! We had an up close view of an amaziing animals, daredevils and hilarious comedy.
