The show was ok, however the animals looked like the were on some type of drugs, the tigers look underfed you could see their ribs, the VIP seats were all on the same level so it was hard to see I would have been better of paying $10 instead of waisting my money for VIP seats for six people, the workers were rude and not very helpful, we were not allow to take food in so we left it at the door only to be told our food was thrown out when we were leaving. All in all I would not advice anyone to waste their time or money.
I did not actually attend it on my own, but I got the tickets for my 4 y.o. son and got my 60 y.o. parents to go with him. He loved it – couldn't stop talking about it for two days now. And my parents enjoyed it as well. They got the front-row seats right in the center of the seating area – perfect for viewing. They said the show was very long – over 2 hours and kept the excitement levels up at all times.
We took our 3 1/2 yrs old and she loved it, although the show was a little long for her. Something for everyone (magic animals, acrobatics) and the tent was well air-conditioned considering it was 95 degrees outside.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® returns this summer to the most notable boardwalk on the eastern seaboard with a mystical all-new edition, The Coney Island Illuscination SM . This year the thrill seeking, action-packed Ringling Bros. spectacular salutes the magical wonders for which Coney Island is known. Ringling Bros. weaves intrigue, marvel and fun as children of all ages follow Illuscinator David DaVinci through outlandish, heart racing transformations including suspending himself perilously by his feet, attempting to escape from the confines of a straight jacket, all while directly above a pack of exotic lions.
DaVinci introduces more unfathomable acts than ever before. See two female aerialists defy the sheer force of gravity, twirling and soaring 35 feet above the audience, suspended solely by the strands of their hair. Also, performing for the first time in the United States are the Kung Fu Kings. These masters of Far East disciplines will present the inexplicable which includes challenging centrifugal force by diving blindfolded through a spinning ring of fire intertwined with more than 40 swords! Even our majestic Asian elephants return with a spellbinding presentation that will leave audiences entranced.
DaVinci, who holds several world records, thrills audiences with eye-popping illusions and mind-blowing transformations, all mysteriously interwoven throughout the show. Circus goers’ eyes will be transfixed on the center of the ring as they witness international acts that astonish and amaze. These unbelievable acts include, Viktoriya and Widny, the Empresses of the Air, who execute a never--before-seen extreme hair hang, the Kung Fu Kings who combine mixed martial arts with mind-boggling strength to twist solid metal poles around their bodies and dive through hoops of razor-sharp sabers, blindfolded! Anton and Alex, The Barons of Balance, reveal amazing agility as they effortlessly leap from one thumb-thin low-wire to another. Flying high and flipping furiously on the teeterboard and the Russian bar are no other than the Salsations!
Iluscination is packed full of mesmerizing animals acts, including Brian McMillan who presents his pack of beautiful golden lionesses and one rare white lion. Most impressive of all is Ramon Esqueda and his majestic Asian Elephants who groove just a few feet away from audience members. And the fun never ends at Ringling Bros. as The Clowning Caveagna Family creates instrumental mayhem with interactive silliness and antics. Who knew clowns could be so musical and funny all at once?
The action at Coney Island Illuscination begins 90 minutes before show time at the Animal Open House followed by the All Access Pre-show – free to all ticket holders, where you can meet Ringling Bros. performers and animals, learn circus skills and start creating a lifetime memory for your family before the show even starts!
