    Awesome Family Entertainment

    by TaraSullyK on 4/7/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    We were not expecting much, but we had an absolute blast. My 20 something’s thought it was great too. They missed out on a “real circus” when they were kids. This show was as amazing to me as an adult as I remember from being a kid. So much talent and the production company definitely knows what they are doing. We missed having a ring leader and the giant brochure, but it was great. Good, clean fun and no social or political messages. That in itself was amazing. We will go again!! Would love a full bar but can live with beer and seltzers.

    It was an great experience!

    by Ava on 4/5/24

    it was awesome and everyone was doing so many flips and bike tricks and a lot more they also put people on the big screen TV thing. If there was a 10 star button I would press it also they had cotton candy, bubbles and more it was awesome watching everything and everything was a great experience!

    Circus

    by Hope on 4/3/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    We loved the circus. It was so different from when we went many years ago. We weren’t sure what to expect. It exceeded our expectations. The acts from all over the world were great and it was much more contemporary.

    Circus

    by Tweet on 4/3/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    The circus is not what it used to be. There were no animals. It was mostly acrobatic.

    It was ok

    by Kk on 4/2/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    Was disappointed the acts were skilled and the stunts are hard to do but for a Ringling Bros.Event it lacked pizzazz and I wish it had some type of animals like dogs or something like that it just didn’t feel like a Ringling circus

    Overall wonderful

    by PJHOZ on 4/2/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    Lots of action, superb performers and memorable moments. Only negative...from our seats we looked directly into the lighting for the trapeze act. We saw the performers when they were at their stations, however we saw none of the action when they were swinging into the center area to perform their routines.

    Excellent show for afamily extending from 2 month

    by Sam on 4/2/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    Although shockingly loud initially, it held our interest throughout! The organization of events, the talent of performers and the location and parking convenience were outstanding. The skill of the performers was huge. The support staff and infrastructure was outstanding!

    Awesome for all ages!

    by MP on 4/2/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus was awesome! We (mom and dad) brought our kids age 9, 6 and 3 and their grandparents, and every one of us loved the show! There were so many amazing performances that left us in awe and on the edge of our seats at times. Our kids were still talking the next day about how cool it was. My father in law was in awe and couldn’t believe how cool the acts were. We would definitely go again!

    Incredible!

    by Sonja on 4/2/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    The most amazing talent from all over the world in one arena! My four year old and I absolutely loved it and will be sure to go again next time they come to town! The world's tallest unicycle and the guys and gals doing multiple flips, landing on a tower of people were our favorite moments! The lemonade in a cool water bottle and the cotton candy dragon hat were affordable keepsakes. Amazing!

    Wanted to go back for 43 years.

    by 3rd Generation (Miguel A.) on 4/1/24KeyBank Center - Buffalo

    As a young boy my father took my brother and I to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus. I was seven (I am 50 now).. I was so impressed as a child and always, thought that I would go back someday and hopefully take my sons to see the show. I had seen the promotions throughout the years and always enjoyed the commercials when the circus would come to a city that I had moved on to. I even remember the circus promoting unicorns many years ago. You can’t imagine my devastation when I heard the news that the circus was being cancelled, that the audiences just weren’t into the animals, overhead, slowing ticket sales etc. I genuinely was saddened by the reality that my chance had passed and I wouldn’t be able to go with my kids. Then, just like that the promotions for the circus started again and I received emails and I found myself excited that I would be able to at least take my youngest to see the show. When we went it was definitely smaller than I remembered (missing the elephants, lions, traditional clowns) but my son had never been and wouldn’t miss what he didn’t know was missing. The experience was still magical and the performers put their best foot forward and gave a spectacular performance. The highlight of course was my 12 year old turn to me and saying, “ Daddy that was the greatest show on earth!!!” Thank you for allowing me such a precious memory like the one my brother and I had shared with our dad. My wife was beaming with pride as she knew we had shared something spectacular with our son. She asked if I could have just one thing different what would it have been. I said honey, I would’ve have paid anything to have the popcorn in a box like I did 43 years ago with my dad. I understand why the animals are gone and why the clowns don’t wear the make up, I never got to see the unicorns but man how my night would’ve been complete just eating my popcorn straight out of a box. Thank you Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey’s Circus and may you have many years of success. I will keep my eyes open for the next time you are in town. And maybe, just maybe popcorn in a box. Lol

    Good experience

    by Kris on 4/1/24KeyBank Center - Buffalo

    I really enjoyed the circus. I wished there was more performance on the swings. A Contorchinist would have been nice. More singing than I thought would be. Sad we don't get to see animals. I do understand the reason why. I do not want to see any animals being abused or mistreated. Circus,' these days are so different. Overall a good show.

    Good show, not the greatest on Earth

    by Two under 3 on 4/1/24Agganis Arena - Boston

    The crowd was pretty quiet the first half of the show because the performances were a little less excited. After intermission the crowd was more engaged by the performances.
