Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus

Just the name alone inspires awe and excitement in me.
I’ve been enthralled with the circus since I was a small kid. I’ve always wanted to take my kids to the circus and I was finally able to do just that on New Year’s Day, no less.
From the moment we entered the Tampa Bay Times Forum, we had a great time. We got there a little later than I wanted so the girls weren’t able to take part in the meet and greet before the circus began.
I think I spent most of the evening on the edge of my seat. I loved every act. Each one was incredible.

The elephants, the tigers and lions, the motorcycles in the “globe of death” the acrobats. and then…

The unicorn, the Pegasus and the Woolly Mammoth !
Yes really!
don’t believe me?
I have pictures….but…nothing is better than seeing it with your own eyes!


My girls are already asking to go visit the Ringling Brothers Circus again..and I’m looking forward to taking them back for another visit.

I can’t wait until my grandson is old enough to go to the circus. We took our kids when they were young and we all had a great time. Looks like you did too! 😀

I went to the circus once and I hated it, but I am a big chicken and scared of animals, it made me so nervous that the elephants were going to just jump over and get us all in the audience….ahhhhhhhh. I will probably have to bite the bullet and take the littles, but its scary to this mama!
I cannot wait until they come here! I love watching the tigers, and all of the different acrobats! You took some great pics, too!
I would love to take my children to this. I went when I was little. It’s just that it’s all the way in Nashville and my van just will not make it.

I loved going as a kid. Can’t wait to take my daughter.
I don’t care what the haters say, I love the circus! I didn’t actually go to the circus for the first time until I was an adult. Now I make sure my kids get to experience it.

^ Yes, I am a hater.
Although circus conditions have probably changed now, I still don’t like knowing how the animals were treated by Ringling bros so I will probably never go to their circus if it were to come to town.

Oh how I used to love going to the circus when I was young. The circus comes here once each year and I always say the wife and I should go — “maybe next year”. For now, I’ll live vicariously through your blog post 🙂

Just by looking at these photos I can tell it was one amazing Circus show. My! How long has it been since I last watched a Circus show. It has been like forever. How fun this was.
I Just Loved This Circus As A Child It’s Changed Still Good But Not As Great As It Used To Be!!! Glad You Enjoyed!!

I have always want to watch a circus but I have no guts to do so. I am not that too brave to watch it live that’s why. But I think that’s an experience worth taking.
