This is going to be a show worth remembering! From March 7 to 9, Ringling Bros Circus will perform six performances at the Crown Coliseum, at 1960 Coliseum Dr.
Ringling Bros Circus is not just a show; it's an unforgettable experience designed to delight children of all ages with incredible acts, dazzling lights and heart-pounding performances. In a world saturated with screens and digital distractions, Ringling offers a refreshing break from the routine—an opportunity for families to unplug, be present, and immerse themselves in live entertainment that thrives without Wi-Fi.
Prepare to witness acts unique only to Ringling, such as the never-before-seen triangular highwire and crisscross flying trapeze, which add layers of complexity to traditional circus performances. You will see more action and more performers simultaneously than ever before. The high-energy BMX stunt scene will have you on the edge of your seat as bikes and riders flip high above the arena on ramps and trampolines.
Adding vibrancy are live music performances to encourage audience participation, creating an electric atmosphere. The Double Wheel of Destiny pushes limits with four daredevils executing daring leaps and somersaults on two spinning apparatuses, soaring 30 feet above ground at incredible speeds. And don’t forget Wesley, the One Wheel Wonder—a Guinness World Record-setting performer riding the world’s tallest unicycle at an astonishing 34.6 feet!
Imagine the thrill of watching gravity-defying stunts and breathtaking acrobatics unfold before your eyes. Each performance has jaw-dropping acts that keep everyone on the edge of their seats. The live nature of these shows creates an electrifying atmosphere filled with real-time reactions that deliver a “wow factor,” making memories that linger long after the final bow. There’s something magical about witnessing your child’s eyes light up in wonder—a feeling that fosters countless “Did you see that?!” moments for families to share.
What makes Ringling so special is its multi-generational appeal; there’s something for everyone, from toddlers to grandparents. This inclusivity makes it easy to bring the entire family together for a day filled with joy and laughter. The creativity, artistry, and sheer spectacle ignite inspiration in young minds—encouraging kids to dream big and imagine new possibilities while inviting them to play circus at home. As vibrant costumes swirl around the ring and set designs come alive in larger-than-life fashion, families are treated to a feast for their eyes. The bright colors and intricate details stimulate creativity and curiosity in children while providing endless fodder for imaginative play long after they leave the tent.
Moreover, Ringling offers one-of-a-kind souvenirs that allow kids (and parents) to treasure their experiences forever. From glow wands to themed snow cone cups, these keepsakes let everyone take home a piece of magic they can relive. Families can even create a free digital souvenir keepsake video from The Greatest Show On Earth.
