Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus Discount Offer

Not only is Feld Entertainment bringing Mickey Live! to Chicago in the coming weeks, but the circus is coming to town, too. We love the circus. The wee ones saw it for the first time last year, and they talked about Mr. Gravity and the trained dogs and the tigers and more for weeks afterwards.

Once again, the Blackhawks are headed out on a long road trip while the circus takes over the UC after its performances at the Allstate Arena (I still cringe typing that - in my head it is and forever will be the Horizon). Shows are Thursday November 4 to Sunday November 14 at the Allstate and Wednesday November 17 to Sunday November 28 at the United Center.

This year's show is called FUNundrum that celebrates the 200th birthday of P.T. Barnum who started it all. It features 130 performers from six continents, almost 100,000 pounds of performing pachyderms, cowboys, pirates, and mermaids. I have a feeling the mermaids will be the wee ones' favorite part.

The show begs to answer the question , “What special wonders create The Greatest Show On Earth?” Whether in your mind it's the quadruple somersault on the trapeze, Chinese acrobats, the strong man, the high wire act, motorcycles performing in a sphere, or animal acts galore, they're all a part of the Ringly Bros circus this year.
