The traveling big-top such as The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, The New Pickle Circus, The Cirque Du Soleil, and The Tangier Shrine Circus are just a few that travel from one major city to another. They usually stay between two to four days or some might stay up to a month to attract sell-out crowds of families and adults who yearn to be entertained. As a family outing, visiting the circus is a must-see event, at least once in the child's life.
Circuses offer a sense of magic and fantasy. Silliness and fun make this the place for children who live in an imaginary world. Adults are entertained while letting the child within get out.
Many circuses offer the more traditional program such as clowns, tigers, elephants and skillful acrobats like the trapeze artist or the tight-rope walker. The music and the light show lure you into the ambience of the thrill. There's a famous expression, "The circus is in town." But what if you live in a small town? What if you live in a rural area? What can you do when the circus isn't coming to your town? How can you find a little magic?
Now by using the Net you can deepen this experience by obtaining information you would not get when attending the circus. Available from the sites of the major circuses, you'll be able to find their history, the founder and the purpose of the circus. For example, The Tangier Shrine Circus is a non-profit organization where all proceeds from the circus will benefit sick children in 19 orthopedic hospitals and three burns institutes. The Cirque Du Soleil (French for Sun Circus) is a more acrobatic type of entertainment and does not use animals in its shows. Most offer ticket pricing on their sites and they range anywhere from $5.50 a ticket up to as high as $68. They also list their program tour
