Circus Skills
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®
performers are athletes, making them the perfect “real life” role
models to encourage young people to be active and physically fit. Try
your hand at the same workout routines, strength-building exercises and
circus skills that got the stars of The Greatest Show On Earth® physically fit!
Geography and Diversity
A
world of wonders coming your way! What do you get when you take amazing
animals and accomplished athletes from around the globe and have them
perform in over 100 American cities over a two-year period? It’s The Greatest Show On Earth®, that’s what! Learn about the countries they come from and join in the fun!
Animal Care
It’s
what we do best! Animals are an important part of our family; we make
their care and well-being a top priority, 24/7. Our trainers and
caretakers combine patience, trust, respect, and praise to build
enduring relationships with some of nature’s funniest, largest - and
most ferocious - creatures.
Science
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® astounds audiences across the country with daring acts that require concentration, patience, timing, dexterity and courage! The Greatest Show On Earth®
also enables us to see many of the laws and principles of physics
brought to life. It’s simple science, with a dash of speed, a flash of
timing, and a large dose of trust!
