Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus XTREME

Honda Center: Friday, July 24 – Sunday, August 2

July 24, 2015
I had the pleasure of taking my family to the show at Citizen's Bank Arena last week and we had a blast. From the up close and personal with animals to seeing a human cannon ball flying through the air. Don't miss this highly entertaining show for all ages! I totally recommend getting to the arena at least a half hour early. Everyone is allowed entrance to the stage floor for pictures with performers, get up close to elephants and touch some of the costumes. Overall experience was pretty awesome.
