The Circus is coming - and am I the only one who didn’t know about this?? You can go to the circus early and get up close and personal with the performers, some of the animals, and even try on some of the circus costumes? I had no idea until the last time we went, and it was the best part of the show for us!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey bring The Greatest Show on Eart to Van Andel Arena September 16th - 19th for Zing Zang Zoom - a mind-blowing circus experience where family fun is no illusion! The fun begins an hour before the show with Ringling Bros. Cown College - which is what I mentioned above and FREE with your ticket.
