    Miss the animals!!

    by CD on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    The acts that were there were great but it was SO much better with the animals! It will never be the same 😩😩 I remember as a kid going to the circus that was the most anticipated part and you could feel it

    I don’t think I would go back to Barclays unless I have too

    by Ana on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    The lines were super long . Felt like there weren’t enough food stands . The show had started and I was still on line and I couldn’t see what was going on inside. Barclays should have t.vs . That show the audience what’s going on inside . So nothing is missed . And this was be smart for every game / events yah may nevhospital

    It was very disappointing.

    by Diggs99 on 2/26/24

    My 4 year old asked if we could leave at intermission. That says it all. Clowns without makeup, nothing particularly funny and one acrobatic act after the next. Ringling was one of my cherished childhood memories. It’s a shame I can’t pass that on. It bored a 4 year old.

    Great, colorful

    Disappointed but understand it’s the times in which we live

    by Grandpa on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    I grew up in awe of the circus. Seems I am out of date and my grandchildren are the worse for it. No animals whatsoever. Really? I can appreciate corrections that needed to be made in the care of circus animals but to get rid of them altogether? While jugglers and aerialists were great there was always something about elephants that just made it better than a show in Las Vegas.

    Not so great

    by BooBoo on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    Found performances repetitive. Felt that it was a knock off of cirque de soliel but not as good.

    Slightly underwhelmed with 2 kids

    by BKBoyMomma on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    I enjoyed attending The Greatest Show On Earth presented by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last weekend. While my 2-year-old was a bit fussy and slept through most of the show, my 9-year-old found some excitement in the BMX bikers' stunts, the impressive 30-foot unicycle, and the thrilling act of someone being shot out of a giant cannon. However, aside from these moments, they weren't entirely captivated. It's worth noting that, unlike traditional shows, there were no live animals; instead, a robotic dog was featured. While returning to the event after a long hiatus was certainly nostalgic, the two-hour performance didn't quite hold our attention as much as we had hoped. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but we felt slightly underwhelmed.

    Exciting

    by Mira on 2/26/24Wells Fargo Center - Philadelphia

    This was my first time seeing the Ringling Brothers Circus and I was not disappointed. My family really enjoyed the show. It was awesome to see different nationalities perform from all over America. I would definitely recommend this show to others.

    It was alright

    by Meshie on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    It was a Short show. There was too much going on at once and i didn’t know who to pay attention to. There were three different performances going in at once. The performances are really talented.

    No longer a true circus..

    by Raj B on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    I was very disappointed in the quality and classification of events in this circus. I have attended many RB&B&B circuses in the past. The removal of the animals and pure emphasis on acrobatics and gymnastics with a little bit of comedy wasn't our portrayal of a circus! It was a poor act and felt as if I was watching the Olympics rather than a show.

    Not what it was - Disappointed

    by El on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    Those who have seen an "original"Barnum & Baileys Ringling Bros show will be disappointed. They tried but it lacks the WOW of what it was. The clowns and animals were definitely missed. It is checked off the list. I will not be going again unless theres an update. I have spoken to others that feel the same.

    Great show, exorbitantly priced goods

    by steph on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    The show was amazing. The sad part is the snacks and goods are so over priced. $21 for an ice cone? $16 for cotton candy!? Seems unreasonably high, considering cotton candy or shaved ice costs pennies to make. A shame that they price items so high, people cant afford to take their children. The company would make insane profits even if they charged half the price for items.

    Fine Show

    by Kevin on 2/26/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    It was a fine show but the kids were disappointed about not seeing any real animals. Not a big fun of the robot dog dance.

    The worst show on planet Earth !!!

    A circus is not a circus without animals and clowns.

    Fantastic

    by DeeDee on 2/25/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    The mechanical dog was very interesting with is dancing to the beat of the music. Also the group on the handlebars swinging kept in sync, but was a little nervous when one fell. The guy on the tallest one wheeler did that very well. The dancing and singing were fantastic. It was real strange not seeing the animals anymore, but this show was fantastic.

    Greatest Show on Earth

    NOT ENJOYABLE ANYMORE

    by TE on 2/25/24Barclays Center - Brooklyn

    Ringling Bros. definitely need the animals back as part of the circus. The show is no longer eventful and enjoyable as it used to be. The robot dog they had was lame. My child didn't even like th ed robot dog, she said she wanted a real one there. Many people in sitting in my section felt the same way, they felt they wasted their money and a few left before the show was over. I used to frequent the circus every year from a child and all the way up until they ended it. If they are not going to bring the animals back, they shouldn't bother with the show. A circus is not the same without the animals.
