    Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

    by Tenpercent on 4/28/14Boardwalk Hall - Atlantic City

    I did enjoy if for the children, but I was disappointed. The circus does not seem as spectacular as it used to be. It was too short - not enough acts and the clowns should not have been the star of the show. Need to step it up. I will not be going again...

    Not like normal Ringley circuses. Heck, one of the horses had a stuffed dog riding it.

    Circus was great.

    by Courtney7894 on 4/28/14Boardwalk Hall - Atlantic City

    The circus was efinitely worth the trip. My girlfriend never went before and she absolutely loved it. The kids seemed to have a great time as well as the adults. The circus was only one ring which was a bummer but not too bad. There wasn't a lion or a cannon but altogether a great show. I wish it was even longer! The downfall is the prices on souvenirs and such when there. I paid $26 dollars for TWO snocones. Altogether great show.

    We were seated in section 106 since we needed to add another seat; however, the view was terrible and not as good as section 107 would have been. Also, there were no clowns. The event was titled "Superheros" and that is what it was, but next time I will go to one more aligned with a traditional circus.

    Very disappointed

    by Monty3 on 2/15/14Philips Arena - Atlanta

    We have gone to the Ringling Bros Circus in downtown Atlanta for 12 years and always buy our tickets early to be close to the show. Ticket prices have gone down over the years, and yesterday we clearly saw the reason why - the show isn't what it used to be. The production of Built to Amaze was way too much dancing and cheering (cheerleaders at the circus??) and not enough substance. Even my kids, aged 14 and 11, were disappointed and said they don't ever want to go again. This is a tradition we have always looked forward to, but no more. The show lasted about 2.5 hours, less an intermission, and there just wasn't enough stuff. What happened to the years of the three ring circus where there was always something going on?? Even in recent years with the one ring and the filler, the clowns at least put on a good show. They added the basketball players on the unicycles this year, which was fun, and brought back the cannon lady and had a few other annual favorites, but we left feeling like most of what we saw was dancing. Not what you go to a circus to see. Even those with younger children around us, including first-timers, felt the same. There wasn't even a lot of clapping during the show like there used to be. Bring back the true circus entertainment and keep the audience on the edge of their seats, or ticket income will continue to drop.

    Circus Disappointment

    by Princess888 on 6/21/13Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus - Tucson

    My family and I just returned from a noon day performance at the circus and we were all sadly disappointed. We waited a long time to see this Circus as it has been years since we last saw one and today we all left with not such good memories. We were disappointed because: 1.) The music was too loud. We could not even hear the ringmaster introducing the different acts. By the time we left, which was before it all ended, we all had headaches. 2.) The concessions were much too expensive...cotton candy attached to a ridiculous hat $15? Really! 3.) There were not enough animals and too many gymnastics and cheerleading. 4.) Many of the acts were boring and lasted too long, like the unicycle basketball game, the 3 men on the trampoline, the doggie show etc etc etc. 5.) The tiger show was okay, the lady flying out of the canon was okay, the trapeze act was disappointing, 6.) and my favorite, the elephant show did not last long enough. One positive thing was ....the good seats. But then there are no bad seats in the Tucson Convention Center for any show. Thank you Tucson. I am sorry to say I will not be recommending my friends to attend this show. And I certainly will not be anticipating taking my family again any time soon. What ever happened to the old Ringling Brother's 3 ring circus. .I guess it is gone for good.

    Never too old for the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

    by Hippiatheart on 7/3/12US Airways Center - Phoenix

    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.

    disappointed

    by Donnatx5 on 3/22/12civic center - beaumont

    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.

    The show had my 5 year old captivated the entire time. The pre show was also entertaining & interacted with the audience especially the kids. Not enough clowns only 1 and no tigers like shown on website.

    Funny show!

    by steelthe1 on 1/13/12Germain Arena - Estero

    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.

    okay

    by MaGrand on 1/11/12Germain Arena - Estero

    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.

    Circus was a GREAT time!

    by Father57 on 1/11/12Germain Arena - Estero

    Great family, fun event. I was worried my family may have been too old, but everyone had a great time. We were impressed by how clean and well taken care of the animals were.

    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.

    It ain't what it used to be!

    by Gaspar123456 on 1/10/12Germain Arena - Estero

    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.
