I had the pleasure of taking my older children to the Friday opening night of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s DRAGONS at the Ontario Citizen’s Business Bank Arena and we had a really fantastic time. And I mean, we had a really fantastic time.
This was the first time I have ever taken my daughter to a show like this and it was so fun to experience the circus through her. And I mean, it was so fun to experience the show through her.

The wonderment and excitement that a show like this can provide is so heartwarming. Her reaction to the bright colors, heart pumping music, animals and stunts was amazing to watch. And I mean, her excitement was so heartwarming.
Be prepared for loud music, which may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive children. Also, be prepared to spend a pretty penny on food and souvenirs. Outside food and drinks are not permitted in most arenas. I purchases a Boom A Ring for my son ($12) and a pretty shiny pony for my daughter ($18). Although expensive, both souvenirs were well worth their cost to me. And I mean, be prepared to spend some money.

One of the best aspects of the Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey circus is the all-access pre show where every ticket holder has the opportunity to get up close and personal on the arena floor to see circus performance acts. I loved taking my kids to try on the circus clothing, to get clown perfomers autographs and especially to see Kelly the Asian Elephant paint a picture. Seeing Kelly the Elephant up close and personal was really cool. And I mean, it was really cool.

My son’s favorite acts were the domestic cats (yes you read that right) and the Dragon Riders. My daughter loved everything, just as most 2 year old’s do. I personally loved every aspect and act of the DRAGONS show. From the animals to the amazing human performances to the hilarious clowns, there wasn’t anything that wasn’t interesting and entertaining to watch. And I mean, it was seriously entertaining.
In my opinion, Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey have really stepped up their game in providing genuine entertainment with their new circus show DRAGONS. DRAGONS is awe inspiring, eye googling entertainment; it’s my favorite circus show yet. I cannot express to you enough how much you should take your children to the show. And I mean, so go and go now.
