    I went there with a group from school when I lived in Tampa in 1970. We went to a play at the Aslo theater and had to critique it later for class. I took a few pictures, such as of my friend Debbie by the statue of David, me sliding down the banister at the theater, and our class eating a picnic lunch near the parking lot. All that is left is the picture of us all eating lunch. However, the memories are what is important. In 1975 I went back there on a trip with my husband. So much has changed now, better displays and buildings kept up. Thanks so much for sharing a great Florida treasure!

    Ca’ d’ Zan is a beautiful mansion. Glad to see the mansion has reopened. I was waiting for it to reopen to re-up my annual pass. Been an annual pass holder for three years now. I can’t get enough of that place. Beautiful place for photographers. Normally they have guided tours of that house. Hopefully that will start back up soon too. You have to return to the mansion during Christmas. They decorate the place really pretty.

    I remember at least one time having a Huge Calliope come thru our town ...with a circus parade....that calliope was a big thrill...I’d waited many years to hear it and it was so Loud, it vibrated the body..! Maybe had one when younger but tho we had an era of time when we had a circus in town, they didn’t all have a Calliope. I remember going to see the animals come off a train..the big ole elephants lumbering off very controlled. They were a pure wonder.

    Well Jay that’s a surprise, I was just there the 16th! My father in law lives literally 2 blocks away and was the director of merchandising for Ringling in the 90’s. It’s amazing isn’t it? So much to see! Th art museum is outrageous, Ringling had so much money it will blow your mind.

    I was there last in 2015, they were doing some work on the second floor but we still could get the tour. Amazing views from the balcony over the grand room as you can imagine. Perhaps they've opened it and if you get the opportunity, it would be a decent place to take Cris the Girl!
    I dig yet another Wisconsin connection, as the Ringling Bro's Circus was founded in Baraboo, Wisconsin. They have the "Circus World Museum" which is also a cool place to visit...actually there's a nearby winery and Devils Lake State Park that's what really makes the trip worth it!
    Pee Wee used to hang out at another theater on South Trial. They ripped that down and there was a Kenny Rogers' Roasters for quite a few years. It's now an artsy pizza place.

    Wow, what an amazing place and somewhere I would definitely like to visit. All that wealth that was generated because of this circus and other than this mansion and museum all that remains of it is gone. The Ringling family sold the circus in 1967 and now it is no longer, going out of business in 2017. What a shame.

See the original theatre inside welcome center where you get museum tickets!

    Love this place, I miss the circus. I think it's sad that our generation was the last to witness a true circus. They will never know the mean of "that place was a three ring circus" I do understand though about treating the animals humane but the history is great. Also a lot of ghost stories about circus train crashes in Illinois.

    • @dantastic3658
      @dantastic3658 3 роки тому +1

      Those animals had the best care and health care that you could ask for. The one's that hated the circus never seen behind the scenes they just watched a fake documentary or listened to lies online. Ringling bros was awesome.
