It’s been many years since I have a Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Baily Show. To be exact I was 5 years old and I went with my dad to a local show in Washington D.C. I don’t remember much of it but I remember the Elephants and I remember my dad buying me the beautiful Elephant Stuffed Animal that I passed down to my girls.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Baily

As luck will have it The Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Baily Greatest Show On Earth Presents Out Of This World is coming To Washington D.C. and Virginia! I am super excited to announce that I will be taking my family this year to the very last show they will ever be able to see from this amazing company.

I’m sad to say that it will be the one and only show they will be able to catch, but I’m grateful to be able to share this experience with them. I cannot wait to grab some stuffed animals of their own to take home, I hope we find an elephant like my dad bought for me!

  1. I can’t believe this show is finally coming to an end. I’m not that surprised, but I was hoping to see it someday.

  2. My family loves going to the circus. It’s a fun and entertaining place to spend on the weekend. I’ve never heard of this circus group but it sounds like they have good performers.

  3. The interesting acrobatic acts of the circus have never failed to stun the audience and that has translated into a huge fan following for the show.

  4. I can’t remember the last time I was at the circus, but when I was younger we used to go every year it was in town. I think it was actually this particular titled circus too! That’s crazy that they are still around. Thanks for sharing – it was fun seeing how it was for you 🙂

  5. Wow! That looks amazing. I went to one of their shows once and I was absolutely thrilled. So glad it’s coming to your city!

  6. I have always wanted to go and see the circus! I think it would be a great and wonderful experience for me and my family!

  7. It’s so nice that you’re able to take your family to see this show before it closes. I’ve never been to a Ringling Bros. show but I hope to get the chance before it ends!

  8. Wow, it’s their last year huh? That’s sad. We love going up to the Bristol Renaissance Faire each year to enjoy the acrobats and all the talented acts there as well. Feels like we are losing the creative side of humanity sometimes!

  9. It would be so nice to watch this with the whole family! It’s fun and it’s full of surprises! It’s been quite a while since I watched anything like this.

  10. Wow are those lions real? I cant believe it, they really are kings, see how they sat. I’ve never seen a circus, it’s not a thing where i come from but the pictures were beautiful to look at.
