I had the opportunity to see Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents

®.  My opinions like always are my own.
“It’s time for your family to be amazed by all the X-TRAORDINARY things you know and love about America’s favorite live family entertainment experience. Be astonished by UN-XPECTED circus spectacles you’ve never seen before and that can’t be seen anywhere else but at The Greatest Show On Earth®. Get ready for an X-HILARATING adventure with X-TRAORDINARY circus artists and magnificent X-OTIC animals, like our big cats!  It’s time to awaken the spirit of Children of All Ages and stir the imagination of your family!”
 
Like all circuses, you will be entertained and awed.
 
The acrobats are absolutely being amazing.  What these performers do is beyond me.

This year, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey introduced mermaids.   They were so beautiful to watch.  It felt like we were underwater.

I held my breath a few times when Benny Ibarra maneuvered the 16,000-pound Wheel of Steel.

The clowns are always entertaining and made my 8-year-old laugh countless times. 
My favorite is the art on the trampoline.  The Art On Trampoline troupe takes gymnastic talent to extreme heights. Audiences flip for this phenomenal performance that combines powerful acrobatic abilities and high-flying trampoline skills. Showcasing precise control, impeccable timing and exceptional strength, these astounding gymnasts propel themselves higher and higher as the audience cheers them on to new heights.

This is also the last year of the elephants.  The trainers took this as an opportunity to teach the audience about these magnificent creatures.
