The circus was good, not great. It was the first one for me and my son. It had a few slow parts that just lost us, the tiger part, I'm not sure what he was trying to do and I don't think he did either. The horses running in circles was a bit drawn out as well. Seemed to be alot of missed jumps and acrobatics.

Please forward this to Ringling Brothers. I am SO VERY GRATEFUL to see less elephants in your show. I have gone every year faithfully because I love the circus and support the arts, although I feel strongly about animal rights specifically the elephants because they are so intelligent and their life in nature is so different than performing life. This year I definitely noticed the huge emphasis on human performers and I'm very happy. It's much classier, like a cirque du soleil show. The acts were amazing and the performers were extremely talented this year. Also the dance numbers have grown in talent and more complex choreography, the clowns were more talented, everyone was extra perky and in the spirit, these qualities more than anything make a great circus to me, not the animals, and I want Ringling to know I VERY much approve and I was very impressed. Thank you so much for responding to the general public's wishes, your show is tremendous and changing with the times according to what more modern needs and wants are. The music was also fun this year. People ARE noticing these great changes, myself, my husband and from comments I heard after the show. I really liked the talent this year and I can't emphasize that enough. Great job!!!!!!!

I was expecting an increadible show with animals due to this circus is really famous but was not like that. They had a lot of mistakes at the opening show. The tigers show was borried and nothing special happended. Do not waist your money. The tickets are really expensive for the show.

Circus was great! I enjoyed all except I think I would like to have seen more animals because to me that's what the circus is all about. Tigers, elephants, & tight rope/acrobatic performers were great!.

I hadn't been to the circus for almost 20 years. But I thought it would be fun to see it again and I'm glad I did. The circus has gone high tech compared to what we saw in years past, but they pulled it off prety well. The motorcycle riders were awesome, and the new baby elephant stole the show. We took our 3 year old grandchild and he loved it.

The acts had some trouble hiting their targets on Wednesday night. I was in Section 216 and had trouble watching the high acts because of the movie screens in the way. the screens also took away from the acts. It was hard to following the story line. The band and motorcycles were amazing. The Ringmaster had a great voice. It was nice to get out of the house for the night.

1000% recommend. It is money well spent. VIP seats also worth every penny. To be able to sit within the circus during the first 1/2 is priceless. Performers are NYC/Vegas quality yet I dont have to go there to see it. I cannot say enough on how enjoyable it was for my self, my wife, and our 14 year old daughter.

THE SHOW WAS GREAT, NOTHING SLOW ABOUT THIS EDITION, COSTUMES BEAUTIFUL, KEPT MOVING ALL THE 2 AND HALF HOURS, WELL WORTH THE PRICE. TOOK TWO GRAND KIDS, ONLY TWO YRS OLD. THEY COULDNT KEEP EYES OFF OF THE ACTS. THE MOTORCYCLE ACT WAS UNBELEIVABLE. THE BABY ELEPHANT WAS THE TOPPER. TRAPEEZE ACT FANTASTIC ! I CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT IT. A MUST SEE FOR ANY AGE OR ANY CIRCUS FAN. IT BRINGS BACK CHILDHOOD MEMORIES 1

There were many parts of the show that dragged out longer than I would have hoped. The show could have moved a little faster and would have been finished before 10:30. My kids became tired and restless. Another downside was the screens always seemed to be blocking part of the viewing area so you were only able to see parts of what was going on. Animal showings were beautiful! Some other fun parts included the clowns, the acrobats, and fireworks.

Our family was so excited about going to the circus. We have gone every year for the past 10 years. However this was the worst show yet and it left a bad taste in our mouths. Granted, it was opening night and the performers had to work out the kinks. Our seats were in the front row and in the first half of the show, they kept lowering flashing banners that completely blocked our view. Then they brought a portion of the crowd out to sit on the stage , with the clowns and other performers standing behind them. This may have been great for those lucky few who paid extra to go up on stage but once again it completely blocked our view. Additionally, several performers looked like they hadn't rehearsed and had to take their ques from the others around them. I don't mean to sound like I am bashing the whole performance but after a while my son said to me, "Bet that one's going to fall too". Think that line sums up the show.

Everything about the show was spectacular! PT Barnum would be proud. Not only are all the traditional acts the very best, they are integrated together and enhanced by spectacular costumes,coreography and hi-tech enhancements.At the end of the show I was worn out from the sheer excitement of watching. At intermission a friend remarked what in the world could they do to keep up the show they already have done everything. Guess what the second half was even better! The GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH has lived up to it's name

The show lacked the wonder and spectacle of previous shows. The pace in the first segment was very slow, so much that my 4-year old daughter told me she was bored and actually went to sleep! The tiger tamer was absolutely awful. The motorcycles were great, the only saving grace before intermission. The second half picked up with the horses and elephants, and the pirate scene was a neat touch, but not enough to save it. We left right after that. It seemed that the acrobats were not performing the daring stunts I remember, and the ones they did they did not accomplish well. All in all, a very disappointing experience.

Now I never post reviews.....so this is a first. But this show was just AMAZING! We thought the kids would love it, but the adults were blown away too. Of course the animals were great and cute - but most amazing were the motorcyclists....7 of them racing in a sphere! Everything you'd expect to see in a traditional circus, but with great originality too. Go see it this year or next - I'm already making a note in my diary for next year to book tickets.

We went on March 17 for my sons 6th birthday and he told me about 100 times through out it that it was the BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER so yes certainly was a great show and best words a Mom could have heard from their child. Would recommend all to go. I had never been and I enjoyed it as much as kids did.

I loved the show. The performers were so talented. There was a huge variety of things to experience -- the clowns were funny, the aerialists were exciting, the tigers were awesome, and I so love the elephants. There was so much more. There were even Segways in the parade. I'm not a kid, and I had a blast!

From the time we entered the building we were in a festive world. I took my 5 year old grand daughter, her first circus. She was awe struck. Getting to go onto the show floor and meet the performers and have her picture taken with them was a big delight for her. Once the show started, it was non stop action with so much to watch and such great acts. We will definitely come back the next time the RB circus is in town.

We never miss Ringling when it comes to town, but Funundrum just didn't have the thrills and excitement of other Ringling productions. The tigers really didn't do much which is a BIG disappointment after growing up watching Gunther Gebel Williams perform. This was the second time this production came to our town (WHY?) and we went again just because, but nothing had changed from the first time. I always say go to the circus for a good time, but don't get your hopes up too high for this show.

As always the Ringling Brothers Circus never fails to amaze and entertain. We took our 7 year old grandson and he loved everything. We took our 4 year granddaughter last year, but I think she was too young to appreciate everything. My only complaint is that it has been the same show for the last three years. It would be nice to have one of the other shows come to Huntsville. My husband and I would love to see some new acts.

Daughter and Daddy day at the circus, we had such a great time. My three year old loved the entire experience from the meet and greet to the circus itself. I did not even mind paying $10.00 for a bag of cotton candy, it was well worth it to see the look of total joy on my little girl's face :-)

Great show and seats. They kept it moving and had a good variety of acts. The time before the show where we were able to get close to the performers was a great way to start the afternoon. Our 6 year old kept looking around to catch everything that was going on.

I have been taking my kids to Ringling Brothers Circus for 25 years and although I am sorry to see that they no longer do the ornate parade of elephants at the close of the show my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter had a WONDERFUL TIME. It is non stop fun and entertainment. The price of the tickets is affordable for everyone!

I had such an awesome time at this event. We got there early and were able to go down on the floor and meet some of the performers and watch clowns up close. Our seats were great and they didn't cost me an arm and a leg. However, the souveiners on the other hand were a different story. They were pretty expensive.

While there was certainly talent exhibited...trapeze...acrobats...tightrope walkers, the tigers looked drugged (who could ever compete with Gunther!) the theme was confusing and in general the show lacked the vitality and awe of the shows of the past.

Ringling Bros circus was amazing! Fun for the whole family! My husband and I took our 2 kids (ages 5 & 10) and they LOVED it! And I have to say that me and my husband enjoyed it just as much as they did. The only thing I did not like was the PRICE of souveniers & food. It was ridiculous! $20 for a bag of cotton candy!! Thankfully I had packed our own snacks & goodies. We did, however, buy a "baby barack" (baby elephant) stuffed animal for each child at $40.00!!! Thank goodness for money from grandparents! :) All in all, it was a wonderful outing!!

This has been our fourth year in a row and my family and I are already looking forward to next year's show. We always get promotional codes and every year we seem to get better and better seats. This year's Funundrum brought back the Steel Globe w/ 7 motorcycles, my FAVORITE, but something I haven't seen since our first year. I also love the stunt with the motorcycle and women doing the 360 turn RIGHT ABOVE our seats!

THE SHOW WAS ALOT OF FUN. THE WHOLE FAMILY REALLY ENJOYED IT. WE THOUGHT FUNUNDRUM WAS A BETTER SHOW THAN ZING ZANG ZOOM WHICH WE SAW LAST YEAR. FUNUNDRUM HAD THE GLOBE OF STEEL (MOTORCYCLES INSIDE THE STEEL BALL) WHICH ZING ZANG ZOOM DIDN'T. THAT WAS A BIG HIT WITH THE KIDS AS WELL AS THE ADULTS. ALSO THE SUPERHEROES COMING OUT OF THE VOLKSWAGON WAS A FAVORITE OF THE KIDS.

I took my 2 year old to the circus for the first time this past weekend- I hadn't been to the circus in 20 years and was really surpised with how great it was!!!! I LOVED the pre-show activities which allowed us to go down on the floor and meet performers and interact with them! The show itself was non-stop action and really met and exceeded all my expectations! I hope the circus comes again next year to Raleigh!!

I've been to the circus lots of times (as a child and then, as a parent taking my children) but this one was one of the best yet. The arrangement of the material, the live music, the themes, the costumes were all exceptional. I am not sure who had the most fun; my three year old, my twelve year old, or me!

I took my daughter and my grandchildren to the circus while it was in Charlotte, NC. I was concerned that my grandchildren might not enjoy it as much as they used to, since they are no longer young children. Boy was I wrong - they loved it! I think they enjoyed it more than when they were children. We all had a blast and can't wait for it to return next year!

It's been at least 15 or more years since me or my wife has been to the circus. This year, we took our daughter for the first time and I have to say.. it's even more amazing than I remember. I highly recommend seeing this show at least once. I'll definitely be going back and I have to say, the front row seats were worth it.

I liked the reflection back to the early days of the circus. I had opportunity as a child to see the old tents being set up with assist of elephants and later that same day the show under the big top.So the history review brought back memories. Many of the acts played to one side away from us - as though it was the front of their stage. I felt like I was behind the actors in some cases. This was most apparent when the baby elephant came out. When it was in the ring and got on his platform, the mother prevented us from seeing him. They should have moved her around so all could see his performance. That was disappointing. I found that my grandchildren (ages 3 - 5) were not engaged during many of the "side show" acts, which made up much of first half. But their memories of the day at the circus are positive and they continue to talk about it. I bought the video, which is a way for them to relive the day and the fun they had. Thank you for a good Ringling Brothers circus visit.

Overall, we loved this Fundrum CIrcus. We especially loved the Pre-show! Thank you Ringling Bros for offering that. My husband and I took two of our grandchildren, ages 5 and 7. My favorites were the Elephants and the Tigers. We loved the TIghtrope act and the Trapeze act as well as the Springboard act. The still acrobats were absolutely amazing! I felt like the clown acts could have been a bit better. Primarily because there were so many clowns and not one "star" clown. I felt as if they were mainly time fillers and not great "stand-alone" acts. The volkswagon clown act was very good. The Ringmaster was fantastic. The price of the toys was fine. The price of the food and drinks was ridiculous. $12 Cotton Candy and $15 Lemonade. We only bought the cotton candy. We would have bought more if the prices were less.

We went to the circus on friday night and loved it. This is a new approach to the circus for sure. I would have to describe it as Cirque du Soleil meets Ringling Bros or vice versa. The lighting was superb and the video screens were cool too. Great sound system as well. I'm sure there are some people who wanted to see the traditional circus but we liked the new version a lot. We also loved the fact that they had a real live band and not canned music!! The band was top notch and looked to be about 10 musicians. Definitely a more modern score but with a tip of the hat to the old tradition as well. As for the performers.....what can you say? Ringling Bros consistently has the best most talented and athletic performers from all over the globe! The motocross riders in the globe of steel were simply amazing!!! We're ready to go again next time the circus comes to town.........

It was so much fun. It was like seeing a "Cirque De Soleil" performance with all the animals and clowns of the circus! The best!!!

Hadn't been to the circus since I was 10 years old. It was fantastic! I'm glad my girlfriend talked me into going, it really was a fantastic show, and I will definitely go next year.

i have to say it was a GREAT show, we really enjoyed it. Our only comment though, was that the space was way too big -- and some seats way too far-- to be able to fully enjoy some of the details of some parts. It was hard to appreciate the man walking over glass, or the stronger man-- the most AMAZING part was the Torres family -- and their motorcycles. And ofcourse, the elephants are always a fav for me. Anyways, i would've rather have seen them in a smaller tent like for cirque de soleil for example. a little more intimate. Not sure if that is possible with animals though.

We had an awesome time! I am not very fond of the circus but I felt that my kids should have the experience. It had been years since my last time at the circus and I was pleasantly surprised. The show had the traditional acts with a modern twist and some high tech effects to boot! Great live band! Loved it!

The show was amazing my daughter Shania enjoyed everything and the seats were fabulous we could see the sweat drip from the tight-rope walkers face. It was unlike any other circus the performances were jaw dropping. The pre-show was great usually I don't make it to the pre-show but the cast of the circus was great. They took pictures and put on a great show. Only problem I had was it took so long to get in the show times neede to be pushed back b/c I got there at 2:15 for the pre-show at 2:30 but the doors did not open until 3:00.

We went to the circus on Saturday 11;30 am show and I was surprised that the seats were empty, but when I booked it, they showed limited seats. Our seats were upper level and we did switch down a bit since the arena was quite empty. Anyhow, we had a great time and even won the canvas drawing that the elephant did before the show. Now we need to frame it. Will be back next year.

Recently I took my daughter to see Ringling Bros Funundrum. Definitely not the circus I remember as a kid. Thought opening night would be filled with excitement boy was i disappointed...my daughter was too. She was more interested in going to sleep on my lap than watching the performers. No thrills here. The zoo would've been much better.

New clown acts, amazing aerialists and outstanding acrobats, as well as a ringmaster I could actually understand made this the best Feld circus I've seen in years. I would be happy to suggest this show to anyone.

The circus was fabulous! So much variety and excitement! It was my 5-year-old son's first circus and he had a blast! We had great seats and thoroughly enjoyed everything from start to finish. He LOVED the confetti at the end, too. Amazing feats! How the performers do what they do is just mind boggling!!!!!

I try to always hit this circus when it comes to town. Such a fun, family friendly, and entertaining show that holds everyone's attention for the duration. I have been taking my children for years, and we love it every time. I highly recommend this show to ANYONE, EVERY AGE!!! You will not be disappointed! They call it the 'Greatest Show on Earth' for a reason! :o)

Ours children (4+ in age) absolutely loved their first time at the circus!! They were mesmerizied by all the acrobatics, feats, costumes, acts, stunts, and more! We went with the grandparents, uncle, and aunt and enjoyed the show probably as much as the kids. Many of us saw RB and B&B when we were children, and were pleasantly surprised that much of the show did not change. Highly recommend the show; great activity for the entire family!

LOVED the circus this year- every act was awesome and very entertaining. The tickets (I had front row) were worth every penny ! The show went off without a hitch and each act transitioned to the next so smoothly ! Well thought out acts and very organized workers made for a seamless show ! I was upset that the lady usher on the circus floor by our seats never stood up or placed her hand over her heart during the National Anthem, nor did she sing to show respect for our country or our flag.

Ringling Bros/Barnum & Bailey Circus out did themselves with the vast array of talent they showcased at this year s circus. We attended the pre-show which had jugglers, stilt walkers, clowns, and acrobats in full show, to say the least! Everyone was in full character and as friendly as can be. The show had everything from amazing animal tricks, to beautiful dancing ladies, crazy motorcycle dome... Yikes!, and contortionist....AMAZING! I think the FOX NETWORK should create a reality TV show about the lives of the circus performers and crew.... what a life! I would pay to watch this! If you haven't seen the show.... it's a must! That's why they call it "The Greatest Show on Earth" Can't wait to see it again.

We promised the kids cotton candy. What we didn't know was the only way to get it was to purchase $12 bags that came with a hat. We wanted four bags but weren't willing to pay $48 for cotton candy and end up with two extra hats! The show was great, but at times, difficult to see everything since there were simultaneous acts going on in three rings. We paid the big bucks for front row seats, but difficult to see past the digital images that dropped down for some of the acts. Also, being in the front row, we had to endure the unpleasant smell of elephant poop after cleaning up the mess from two elephants and putting the buckets and shovels in front of our seats.

We had barely stepped into the Honda Center and the kids were already in awe. Picture booths, toys, popcorn treats galore. Smiles on their faces were unforgetable and we still even hadnt gotten to our seats for the show. Performances are amazing it was so much fun for everyone including the adults

I had second thoughts about paying 104.00 dollars for the VIP seats. We got there and let me tell you!! WOW!!! We took out 18 month old and I've never seen her sit so still. The show will have you just with your mouth open! hahaha... My husband was as enthused as my daughter. We had never been to the circus before and we loved it! It was awesome. About two hours long with a 15 minute break! Nonstop stunts, performances, songs... it was lovely! :)

Well this is my fourth year in a roll that I have gone to Ringling Bros.I have to say the first year 2006 has been the best and can not be top.This year 2010 some show stunts were taken out and replace with more Acrobatics.These stunts are nice to see but when you are running three of them at the same time.It's makes it hard to see what the others two are doing.There were less animals to see this year so getting there early to see them was a disappointment.The pre-show down on the floor was like the economy, lots of cut backs but lots of hub bug.All in all you should go see the show and if you have little ones this is why we go to make them smile. :-)

I loved seeing the Black Ring-leader! What a nice change and his voice was amazing. We've never seen a Black Ring-leader and people around us seemed to get as excited as we were. It was a pleasant surprise to have him represent Ringling Bros. Thank you/ Every seat at Citizen Arena is a great seat.

We've been going to this circus for six years, and each one has been great. Love the fact they change themes each year. Like to see Bello the clown again. Must see for any family.

Wasnt expecting what we got!! It was FANTASTIC!! For all ages, lots of visual entertainment, view was great and there was so much to see. We have too many favorite acts to name just one. Would definetely recommend this. And two blocks away we found great parking for $7. I would suggest not getting seats on the side though because most of attention was in center-might be hard to see all acts.

My kids had a blast. They cant wait for next year. We had 5 kids that day from the ages of under 1 to 6 yrs old and all came home telling the family about their experiene to the circus and what they loved the best. I feel like last years show was better than this year but it wasnt a disappoiuntment we still has fun and are already planning the next show.
