Reviews
"Incredible experience! Great team of enthusiastic employees and management! So much to do too. Loved the museums, the restaurant, the home. I enjoyed it more than many museums in Italy even. I’ll be back for the October White Out Festival! Thank you Jessica for making it extra special!"
"I was a bit doubtful at first, but what an AMAZING experience!! The entire facility is very well maintained. The staff is super friendly, helpful and informative. There are guided tours available as well. I was actually very impressed at how much there is to explore and learn throughout the entire area. I also recommend wearing some comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking. We definitely plan on going back to revisit."
"Mondays are free! Beautiful collection and nice scenic view of the bay in the back. Wasn’t crowded when we went. If you love art, and are not hassled by cranky kids, this could be an all day event. We went another time just for the circus. The circus was great fun for the whole family and reasonably priced. The Ringling museum and circus is a MUST if you’re visiting Sarasota."
"The adult price was $40/person which at first I thought was quite expensive but after seeing 2 circus exhibits, gardens, massive art gallery and the mansion it was well worth the ticket cost and parking is free. We spent four hours wandering around, though definitely could’ve stayed longer if it wasn’t about to storm. I highly recommend checking this out, there’s something for everyone, a fun playground as well."
"I have such fond memories of attending the Ringling Brothers Circus when I was a child. It was not just an awesome experience; it was a magical one. The vibrant colors, the breathtaking performances, and the lively atmosphere made it a perfect destination for families. I remember how beautiful everything looked, from the dazzling costumes to the intricate sets. It truly felt like stepping into a world of wonder and excitement. One of the best parts was seeing the joy on the faces of the kids around me. The circus was not just entertaining; it was a place where imaginations soared and dreams came to life. It provided a wholesome and fun-filled day that created lasting memories for everyone involved. As a parent now, I can see why I cherished those moments so much. The Ringling Brothers Circus wasn’t just about entertainment; it was about creating a shared experience that brought families closer together. It’s a place I would highly recommend for anyone looking to create unforgettable memories with their loved ones."
