Thoroughly Enjoyed Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Tonight inPhoenix

When our first was born, one of the things Bo talked about was taking him to the circus.  We have been so fortunate the last few years to see the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus when it comes through Phoenix every summer.  We attended opening night tonight for their Legends show tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!  The show was exciting and the performers flawless!  Nate absolutely loves the motorcycles that drive around in the metal globe, so he was excited to see that they were in the show again this year.  He also spent a lot of time chuckling at the clowns.  They sure do a great job of keeping your attention and amusement while crews set up other areas of the stage!

You still have time to get tickets!  The show will be in Phoenix through Sunday, and you can check out this post for details on times and how to buy tickets.

Lydia especially enjoyed the circus tonight, and tried to video a good chunk of it on her little camera phone so she could share with Grandma tomorrow.  Here's what she had to say:

The Circus is Coming to Phoenix!

If you've been around here for a while, you know how much my family enjoys the circus!  We are very excited to see the latest Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show, Legends, when it comes to Phoenix from June 25 - 30, 2014.

We will be there opening night, cheering on the clowns and amazing aerial acts.

One of the things my kids especially love is the All Access Show that you can attend before the actual show begins.  Performers and animals fill the arena, and are accessible to everyone.  My kids always love getting a picture with a clown when we go.

Review: Built to Amaze -- Another Fun Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Show!

Last night's Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's show, Built to Amaze, was downright amazing.  I loved the construction costumes the dancers wore and thought the traffic cone stilt walkers were fantastic.

All of the Ringling shows start with a pre-access show that runs an hour before showtime. Everyone can go down onto the arena floor and interact with performers.  At least 2 performers are doing a mini-act at any time and there are opportunities to have your picture taken with clowns and even try on some costumes!  It's always very popular, and last night was no exception.

Once the show started (right on time!  I love it when things happen on time!) it was exciting and fun.  One thing that always amazes me is how they are experts at distraction.  You are always so engrossed in the performing act, that you don't notice them setting up for the next act in the darkness.

All 3 of my kids had a good time, as well as me and hubby.  We always choose our favorite acts in the car ride home.  This year, Lydia loved the act with the trained poodles and the lead clowns.  Nate enjoyed the Steel Vortex the most during this show. (2 large steel wheels that peformers spin around and climb in and out of!)  Colin said that he liked the trampoline act the most.  Bo loved the high wire act. My favorite act were the gymnasts that swung from long ribbons hanging from the ceiling.  And, I couldn't help thinking of a friend when one performer was shot from a cannon across the arena! Even though we all can choose our "favorite" act, it just reminds us of the other amazing acts we saw and it's hard to choose just one!

The show is in Phoenix through the weekend at US Airways Center.  Tickets can be found at Ticketmaster.  Even if you've been to a show in the past, you'll be amazed with the new acts and performers.  I highly recommend going!!
