ABOUT THE SHOW
Ringling is taking a quick break! And don’t worry — we’re not gone for long! We’ll be touring across the U.S. starting January 2026 with a brand-new edition of The Greatest Show On Earth®. Keep an eye out for sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes fun on our socials and on RinglingKids.com as we get ready for our return. And be sure to subscribe to our email list for special offers.
You and your family will not want the fun to end, but even though the entire experience is about 120 minutes, the memories will last forever…and ever! You may be on the edge of your seat the whole time – except for snack breaks during a 15-20 minute intermission.
Well, of course! The show is full of dazzling special effects that treat the senses and push the limits of possibility. Even though you’ll see plenty of special effects, the talent, feats and awe you’ll experience are 100% real. Visual thrills are made with safe theatrical fog, strobe lights and fire manipulation. We recommend contacting Customer Service for specific details about the show you are attending.
We suggest you dress comfortably. Practical shoes are recommended to safely navigate the layout and steps at a venue. Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times. Our events are a casual, family-oriented experience. Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the body that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment will not be permitted. In that spirit, we ask you to use discretion and common sense.
