Not only is Santa Claus coming to town, but so has the Circus - at the West Palm Beach Convention Center! “Every day’s a circus, Baby!” is not just a lyric from the theme song of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Built To Amaze Holiday Edition, it can also be felt as soon as you walk into the circus “tent.” This Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey holiday circus show is truly “built to amaze” and you really are “so close you can feel it!” The Flowergals and I have been to several circuses in their young lives, but this was the first time we could really experience and see what was happening! There really is not one bad seat in the house.
So what did we see from our great seats? Elephants. Horses. Dogs. Acrobats. Colors and light abound. Lots of exciting action!
What did we hear from our great seats? Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s very own band played the music. You could also clearly hear what the "Ring Master" had to say.

What did we like best from our great seats? We had two little friends join us today, ages 5 and 2 ½. They loved their first time to the circus! The young boy’s favorite was the basketball-playing unicyclists; the young girl’s was the (very fluffy) dogs.
My two daughters, the Flowergals (14 and 10), accompanied me to the show. They both really enjoyed the performance and liked how close we were to the action. They especially liked the animals and acrobats and my youngest daughter was also very entertained by the clowns.
I appreciated the hard work it must have taken for all the performers to perfect their skills. I especially enjoyed the audience participation, as sets of families were pulled down to the arena floor.
While the run time is approximately 90 minutes with a 10-15 minute intermission, be sure you get there for the preshow that starts 1 hour before the main show. There is an opportunity during that time for the kids to get an up close and personal look at the circus and its performers! Parking was easy and close, but expect to wait to exit. Backing in to your parking spot will help in exiting.
I left the show with an “elephant-sized” feeling of gratitude for the opportunity to review this show! I was able to host a family friend and her 2 small children who have never been to the circus before. I believe this experience made a memory not only for the Flowergals and myself, but for our friends as well!
So what are you waiting for? Get your tickets today and be AMAZED!
