I think superb is really the best way to explain the Ringling Brothers Museum complex. Between the mansion, the art gallery, the circus museum, and the grounds, we were just blown away. And before this trip, I had never heard of it before! I can't believe we almost missed the best think on the trip because it was a little further away than other attractions. But really, I cannot say enough good things about this place. The Tibbal Circus Museum was especially superb as it shows a to scale wooden replica of everything that went into the traveling circus back in the day. And we're not talking about bare bones structures. We're talking full on, thousands of hand carved wooden people/animals/structures/train cars/shops/etc. You name it, it's there. If you are ever in the area, GO! Run there. It's absolutely worth the trip!
