Barnum, the Greatest Showman of all time, and can only be experienced at The Greatest Show On Earth®, Barnum’s living legacy! Almost from the moment he was born, P.T. Barnum was inspired by a fascination with people, attracting the attention of his audience and wowing them in return. When he created The Greatest Show On Earth®, he knew “good” wasn’t good enough – it had to be the greatest spectacle anyone had ever seen…and Barnum’s FUNundrum brings the extraordinary treasures of the circus from both past and present to life!

Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson invites the audience to leap aboard the Ringling Bros. Express and go on a family FUNtastic adventure to meet exotic characters and witness thrilling performances that attempt to answer Barnum’s FUNundrum, “What special wonders create The Greatest Show On Earth?”

Step right up and see The Flying Caceres attempt to complete the elusive quadruple somersault on the flying trapeze; a feat that hasn’t been mastered in over three decades. Watch The Puyang Troupe from China dazzle with a stunning display of dexterity as they bounce, flip, and twirl to new heights on a two-tiered trampoline. Be amazed as you witness the impossible contortions of the Body Benders who fit three humans in a cube the size of a milk crate. Enjoy the wondrous ability of the Mighty Meetal, the strongest man in the world, as he lifts over 1,200 pounds. And savor the stupendous skills of the hand balancers featuring Duo Fusion, a married pair of performers with a twist; the wife does the heavy lifting.

And one hour before show time, families can meet the performers, get autographs, and see an amazing elephant that paints at the All Access Pre-show –FREE with a purchased ticket!
