April 4, 2024

If you're looking for an unforgettable family outing that'll leave everyone wide-eyed and smiling, look no further than Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus! We recently attended their spectacular performance at the Agganis Arena in Boston, MA, and let me tell you, it was an experience we won't soon forget.

First things first, let's talk about the venue. The Agganis Arena provided a perfect setting for this thrilling show. The seats were comfortable, and despite the anticipation, the lines weren't bad at all. In fact, getting in and finding our seats was a breeze, allowing us to focus on the excitement to come.

Now, onto the main event – the performance itself was nothing short of mesmerizing. The acrobats were absolutely amazing, executing jaw-dropping stunts and aerial feats that had us all holding our breath. My kids, aged 9, 5, 4, and 2, were completely captivated from start to finish. They couldn't get enough of the colorful costumes and the incredible talent on display.

Speaking of my littlest one, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the show held the attention of my 2-year-old. There wasn't a moment of restlessness – the vibrant visuals and lively music kept him engaged throughout.

My husband and I were equally impressed by the performance. From the daring feats of the acrobats to the hilarious antics of the clowns, there was never a dull moment. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be the fire act – it was absolutely thrilling and left us on the edge of our seats.

For those who missed out, fret not! There are more showings in Boston this weekend, with dates Thursday April 4-Sunday April 7th, before the circus moves on to Worcester (April 12-14). Trust me when I say, this is an experience you don't want to miss.

In conclusion, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus delivered a truly memorable experience for our family. It's the kind of outing that creates lasting memories and brings us closer together. I have no doubt that this will be a core memory for all of us, cherished for years to come.
