The circus is coming, the circus is coming! Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey are coming back to the Bay Area, and this year they're staying for 3 whole weeks. Their new show, Fully Charged, promises to have lots of high-voltage thrills and entertainment for the whole family. No matter how old they get, my kids never seem to cease enjoying the circus, and they can't wait to see Fully Charged when it arrives in San Jose in August. There will be strong men, clowns, acrobats, human arrows, tigers, elephants and horses -- and don't miss these pre-show activities (which are free with your ticket):
Pre-Show Party
Everyone knows they need to arrive early to a show, but at Fully Charged you won't be sitting in your seat for 30 minutes, bored out of your mind. The fun begins 1 hour before show time with a Pre-Show Party, where you can meet the performers and animals up close. Don't miss the chance to see an elephant paint a picture -- you could even win the picture he paints!
Animal Open House
If you're watching Fully Charged in Fresno, San Diego, Sacramento, Denver or Salt Lake City, there's even more fun awaiting your family. Arrive 90 minutes before show time for the Ringling Bros. Animal Open House, where families can see the circus elephants up close, speak to animal care team members and learn about Ringling Bros. commitment to animal conservation.
