The Vedders Family went to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus at the Van Andel Arena. In our opinion, there is now wonder as to why this circus is referred to as the “Greatest Show on Earth.” To begin with, we got to experience an incredible pre-show on the arena floor. During the pre-show, we got to talk to clowns, watch elephants paint, watch exciting acrobatics, and skillful riding of uniquely bizarre unicycles. Zachary go to sit on one of the motorcycles used in the Globe of Death. Nathaniel got to dance with a clown and even learned a new dance using his arm as an elephant’s trunk.
After the one hour pre-show we grabbed our seats and enjoyed the show. Be sure to check out The Circus of Dreams on their website for a full run down of the show. One last thing, if you get a chance, be sure to catch the show…it is definitely worth it.
