It was very mediocre. I remember the circus being a huge production when I went with my parents as a kid. I couldn't wait to take my 3 youngsters. There were no lions no tigers no bears. I guess the animal rights activists put an end to that. There were 2 elephants who looked happy and healthy but didn't really do anything. There were maybe 3 clowns that again did very little to entertain. The basketball players on unicycles were kinda sloppy, as was the horse act,and the trapeze act. There was a lot of song and dance routine that was embarrassing. Yes the performers were talented and doing things I could never dream of, but I expect more from ringling bros, and I expect more for $38 a ticket. In short it was a day out of the house, and the kids were entertained but still a let down.
