We had a fantastic time at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus last night! I got to meet and sit right next to the terrific Jolly Mom! And my mother-in-law was able to join us as well! She has difficultly walking since a double hip replacement so luckily our seats were in a good location. They also have special seating for people who are handicapped and were nice enough to offer us seats where we didn’t need to walk down the steps at all! 
I was really amazed at how well Natalie did. I was concerned about taking a 15 month old to a place where she’d need to sit still for an extended amount of time, but she did marvelous and really enjoyed the show. She was so cute clapping and dancing to the show!
The only time she really got upset and wanted down was when they brought the tigers out. She kept saying “kitty kitty” and I’m sure she wanted down to pet them! We weren’t able to attend the All Access Pre-Show {an hour before show time, audiences can join Ringling Bros.® talented performers and learn new circus skills at the All Access Pre-show, FREE with your ticket!} but I’m sure it would have been amazing to get up close and personal with Ringling Bros. performers!
I have been to the circus a few times before but it changes every time I see it! The show constantly had something new and entertaining going on! Seeing SEVEN motorcycles riding in a cage was breathtaking! It truly is a show for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Children Of All Ages!

The show was wonderful. Thank you for the tickets. I envy your speed of posting reviews :). It would have taken me quite a few days to post 🙂
My advice is not to get the cheapest tickets, you wont be able to see much from the very top.
But would definitely recommend the show
and I already told everyone at work how great the show was and they are ALL going to buy tickets 🙂
