overall, we had a good time, but highly disappointed. what ever happened to the 3ring circus with tigers? now we settle for pussy cats and puppydogs... took the kids... wont be back till the granchildren come in 20 years.....
My nine year old daughter enjoyed the circus tremendously. My husband and I like that they had a "party" before the circus where kids could see some acts while sitting on the circus ring. We also were able to take her picture with the motorcycle daredeivils while she sat on the bike and with one of the acrobatic girls - very cool. We had to buy a disposable camera though ($12) because the lens on our camera was too big, so we couldn't take it in. Only disappointment was, of course, the cost of things. Popcorn with a plastic hat was $10 and a snocone in a commemorative cup was $12. Parking wasn't bad - that cost $5.
The event was excellent. The seating was excellent. All the people in the show were highly skilled at their jobs. They were also very entertaining. This was my first time at this arena. Compared to other events I attend around the country I felt that the traffic directors were not focused on their jobs. Either bunched up or spread too thin. Traffic cones were too cloce togeather in the turns. (Turns too narrow).
I brought tickets for the Boomaring show and all during the show they kept saying it was ZingZangZoom. Then after the show, I go outside and they are selling stuff for Boomaring. The same people kept coming out and doing different acts. And there was hardly any animals; two elephants, dogs, cats, and no lions! I was extremely disappointed in Ringling Brothers. I felt they downgraded the show without downgrading the price!
This was a great show, I would definitely recommend for children.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was great. My 5-year-old grandson was amazed by the acts. He especially enjoyed the elephants and the motorcycles. I enjoyed listening to the circus band accompany the acts. It was an unforgettable experience.
We were very disappointed in the circus this year. Pricing was just as outrageous but in prior years we felt we got a show that at least came close. This year was so much LESS. Obviously a serious downsizing.. I hate to say there is NO way we will pay that kind of money for a show of this caliber again.
I have been to this circus 4 times prior to this event and was utterly disappointed as well as my 5 year old!!!! There were no tigers, lions or zebras. Not nearly as many funny skits or aerobatic shows. We missed last year and were extremely excited for this year only to be let down - big time!!!!! Very disappointed Barnum & bailey !!!!!!
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Boomaring Circus this year was ok but not as good as prior years. I have been there every year for past 6 years and this year it was only fair at best. I was not thrilled. I would go back because I know every year the circus is different, but this year just did not thrill me in the least. My daughter was not impressed either, she wanted to leave half way through as well. The best part was the magic show. It was kind of boring this year.
My son and I have attended the Ringling Bros circus for the past 6 years, always enjoying the show. Not this year. It was terrible. One ring (not three), no lions, no tigers, three clowns, the motorcycle act had only 3 cycles (6 last year), the high-wire act was terrible, little in the way of a trapeze act, no cannon. What did they have? Little dogs, cats (pussy cats), a total of three clowns, two llamas, and a bunch of rather run-of-the-mill magic acts. I paid top dollar for VIP seats. Don't waste your money.
Not as entertaining as in the past. Acts seemed less thought out and mediocre.
Very family friendly. The performers took time to make the kids feel welcome and to pose for pictures. This included intermission It felt like we were at a kids' theme park. In addition, the acts were more fast paced and exciting than those I recall from my own childhood.
I have gone to the circuis in the past. This one however was just horrible. they had two Elphants and house cats yay! The kids were not interested at all. When we got home they said they didnt like it. As a parent spending all that money for the children to say it was boring it makes you frustraiting.
I was very disappointed to find out after I drove an hour through 7 inches of snow to take my niece see the circus, that it wasn't the full show like we had seen last year. Especially since the ticket prices were the same. Had I known it was a smaller version I could have at least informed her that it would be different instead of explaining to a 4 year old once she got there, why she wasn't seeing alot of what she saw the previous year. Also, alot of the performances were hard to even see because the lighting rigs being in the way....like the motorcycle show..which is her favorite. I hope that next year, if the circus returns to the Wilkes Barre area, that if it is not the full 3 rings, that it should be advertised as such.
Boomaring was amazing. The action was non stop, the acts were great, and the performers were really enjoying what they were doing.
Cats & dogs instead of lions & tigers. Low wire -no high wire. $12 forabag of cotton candy. Sad, reallysadfor the greatest show on earth.
I was dissappointed with the performance. I thought that it should have been bigger they only had one ring and it was not in the middle of the floor. And also was for adults
Overall disappointed in the show. Compared to previous B&b Circuses, this was lacking. Could not keep my attention.
Last Saturday, 10/29/11 , we went to show at 3pm. There was only one ring, which is normally a 3 ring circus. Acts were so so. Could not believe no tigers or lions, and only 3 elephants. House cat act???? Come on. The whole thing lacked the glitter and glamour of the past circus from the last 2 years. Very, very disappointed. Will not waste my money next year!!! P.S. Only 3 clowns and all the acts were done by the same people. It seemed like a circus "in training".
Super! What a great event to bring the whole family. And make sure you come 1 hour early for the pre-party.
