Animal Open House

At Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey^® we are fortunate to share our lives with some of the world's most amazing animals – and we are thrilled to be able to share this wonder with audiences day after day.

Come meet our awesome animal family during the Ringling Bros.^® Animal Open House^SM and get up close as we open the doors to the homes of some of your favorite four-legged stars. This is an incredible opportunity to take pictures and ask questions of the animal-care staff who care for our performing partners 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In select cities*, Children Of All Ages can join this exceptional, behind-the-scenes event beginning 90 minutes before designated performances of the 139^th Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth^® – FREE to all ticket holders! The Animal Open House runs for one hour and ends 30 minutes before show time. Then, after the lights go down and the performance starts, you can see the animals you just met showcasing their power and poise in routines based on their natural behaviors. So arrive early and learn how our amazing animal associates live, perform and play when they come to your city!
