Although the Ringlings left in 1918, many of their original structures survived.During the summer months, see the world’s largest collection of glorious parade wagons plus 7 authentic Ringling Bros. buildings filled with colorful, big top memories. Experience the thrill that never grows old at Circus World!The health and safety of our customers, our employees, and our communities remains a top priority.

My husband and I had a delightful day of learning, laughs and pure enjoyment! We thoroughly enjoyed the tasteful re-creation of the old time circus atmosphere, wonderfully restored circus wagons, and the Big Top show complete with elephants and talented, devoted performers. Kids will have fun, so so did we as adults! Too many photos to share, but here are two. Thank you Circus World for our FUNDAY MONDAY.

Al. Ringling Mansion

Reviewed By K8047HMgeorged - Cleveland, United States

A great tour that fills you in on the Ringling’s Circus history. The mansion is wonderful, but there is a lot of construction. But even with that, we throughly enjoyed the tour and information. Brand new Bed & Breakfast, along with a beer garden opening in lat September.
