Tibbals Learning Center and Circus Museum at The Ringling

This is honestly my new favorite thing. I didn't know about this since I think it's relatively new. The models that were made for the circus and everything that goes along with it we're supposedly built by one person, I could be wrong about that but I sort of remember hearing it. The attention to detail is absolutely astounding and it's well worth your time to look at everything closely. I also learned a lot about the different circuses that would go on throughout the years. It was a very fun learning experience and I'm the kind of person that gets bored easily and that was not the case here.

This place is awesome. Next time, I will go early. It's a lot to see the THE RINGLING MUSEUM AND CA’ D’ZAN is amazing, and it's a must make sure you do everything.

This is a wonderful place. The exhibits are pretty large and you could send all day here. I loved the little car so I got in. They have a nice photo scene head in do-hickey. They have a cannon that was out of order. Some things to watch on the TV. I really liked the model trains. The lady was very pushy about us going in "Make sure you go in here" "13 busses could fit in here". I went in after I was done in the big room. I really liked the models so much to see so little time to see them. I would recommend this very much.

The circus museum was amazing! A terrific mix of interactive and informative exhibits that held the interest of myself and my children of various ages. We were all especially enchanted with the diorama in the Tibbals Center. All of the little details captured our imaginations and gave a fascinating look at what an enormous production these traveling circuses were!
And the Ringling grounds are simply gorgeous, with the opportunity to stroll down to the waterfront mansion and through the rose garden.

This was the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus museum when I was a little kid. It was funny to see some of the things I remember from the '60s still on display along with a lot of new exhibits. Make sure you buy the all access ticket so that you can enjoy visiting the mansion it has some amazing rooms, ceilings and furnishings inside. I remember the clown that used to come out to warm up the crowd beating a pair of pie pans together and getting each section of the crowd to cheer. A chance to see a world of another time that should not be missed. You must see the greatest show on Earth.
