My family attended the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus "Super Circus Heroes" show opening night and we all had a fabulous time! This fun packed show embraced the hero inside all of us, including Mr. Boredom!
We arrived about 45 minutes prior to show time, so we could walk around the Arena and look at all the fun souvenirs the vendors had for sale, and to find our seats early. The floor was open to everyone for an all access pre-show. Our first stop was at the mini circus wardrobe where the kids could try on some of the sparkly circus attire!
Several of the
circus acts and entertainers came out and performed for the early crowd,
and even got them out into the ring to try the stunts on their own.
They were really catering to the crowd and encouraging their
participation. They even brought one of the elephants out to make a
one-of-a-kind footprint that was later given away to one lucky audience
member.

What are some of our favorite things about the circus?
The brightly-colored costumes, the singing and dancing, the music, the bright lights, and the silly sound effects were super and in full effect! The show was fun and entertaining from start to finish! There were so many wonderful acts, and of course the animals - elephants, camels, horses, and dogs! We were expecting to see lions and tigers too, but sadly they didn't make an appearance. My daughter asked where they were, and I told her that they must have been taking a "cat nap!"
The girls loved the animals, the tiny dogs riding miniature horses, the camels and the elephants were her favorites. She has been an animal lover her entire life, so that comes as no surprise to me. That being said, she also told me that EVERYTHING was her favorite part because she loved it all!
My son loved the death defying, super thrilling motorcycle globe! I'm sure in the back of his mind he's trying to figure out how to do that one. I, on the other hand, sure hope that he doesn't!
My husband and I really enjoyed the show too! It was the perfect way to spend the evening together as a family!
