My grandkids loved it. I am 63 and remember the Carson and Barnes when they would fill the whole arena with Elephants. They had lions and tigers and everthing a circus is sopposed to have. There used to be 3 rings going at the same time. I don't know how they can continue to bill themselves as the biggeast circus under the bigtop. The stoped the show several times during the performance to sell stuff to the kids. Very expensive. It cost me 30.00 for my grandkids. to ride the elephant for 2 minutes. The reserved and premium seats were a joke. The dog and horse acts were very lacking. So sad to see a great show turn into such a sad site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-25313732051079348112010-09-16T05:12:46.647-07:002010-09-16T05:12:46.647-07:00Sept. 16, 2010 went to the Carson and Barnes Circu...Sept. 16, 2010 went to the Carson and Barnes Circus. My wife and I felt bad for the entertainers because you got a feeling that this circus was not going to be around much longer. The show was very poor for adults. My children really enjoyed it. I am glad we had received BOGO on the tickets, otherwise I would have been really disappointed. Half the show had entertaining feats, but the rest seemed to just be going through the motions. We had maybe 100 people attending. The sound system was horrible and way too loud. The only time we understood the ring master was when he was telling Alex no music. This was not my childhood circus and there is only 1 ring now.Michael (Longmont, CO)noreply@blogger.com
