First let me start by saying that I am a true fan of the original Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brother Circus, I have been attending since I was a kid. I've visited their museum in Sarasota, Florida, I am a true fan. As an adult I made sure to support and see the final show before they shut down, this was back in like 2018. Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brothers were getting a lot of bad press and attendance to their shows was dwindling due to animal rights , PETA etc. I get it , we want to ensure the safety of all animals, I am against any animal cruelty. Fast forward, present day, this establishment is back and I couldn't be more excited, I now have two young girls and I'm stoked to take them to the circus and have them experience all the feels I did as a kid and even as an adult, the original B&B Ringling Brothers was the BEST, it's no surprise their slogan is "The Greatest show on earth! "(sidebar: I've been to others such as Big Apple Circus and The Vasquez Circus, these have clowns, very entertaining, no animals and lots of acrobats, bike tricks and balancing acts) WELL, this comeback lacked everything. It lacked clowns, although there were no animals they had a robot dog that was so weird, no clowns, it had a singing/instrument competition, balancing act, BMX bike act and acrobats. It was way too long and sadly my kids were bored out their mind begging to leave not to mention it was SUPER expensive $35 for light-up bubble machine wand, $45 for kid hoodie, $15 lemonade, $15 popcorn, with two kids we spent close to $300 on just food/Drinks and souvenirs. Definitely not worth it, save your money and attend the other circuses when they come to town. I will not be back to another Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brothers event. It feels like they sold/licensed the name and its a copycat of what is already out there.
