Going to Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey’s Greatest Show on Earth is a classic throwback to childhood that is always as much fun for me and as for the kids. This weekend we were guests of Feld Entertainment and attended Barnum 200 Funundrum, a show that evokes classic circus performances from long ago.
The show featured 130 performers from six continents and included the Flying Caceres on the trapeze, the Puyang Troupe from China on a two tiered trampoline, and contortionists who bend to fit inside of a milk crate. There was a strong man (aka Mighty Meetal) who lifted over 1,200 pounds, a woman who swung from her hair high above the crowd, tightrope walkers, a troupe of elephants, seven motorcycles zooming around the interior of a sphere, tigers, a clown car, and more.
As with past shows, we made sure we got to the venue early for the All Access Pre-Show that starts an hour before the main event. At the pre-show, families can meet the performers, get autographs, and see a paintbrush wielding elephant.
