Zing Zang Zoom!

I can definitely understand why they call the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus "The Greatest Show on Earth." How else would you describe the show? Amazingly talented elephants, human cannonballs, magical acts, circus clowns, Bengal tigers, Arabian horses & so much more. My boys sat extremely still & completely transfixed throughout the entire performance (the big bag of cotton candy was almost as big as a thrill, as the show was).

The Circus is in town (in Anaheim that is) until Sunday, July 26th. But don't worry! If you can't make one of these performances, you can also catch the show in Ontario (July 29th - August 2nd), or in San Diego (August 5th - August 9th).

Science of the Circus at the Discovery Science Center

Did you know the circus is coming to town? Yep! Yep! It will be here from July 15th - July 26th, but more on that later. Today I want to tell you about an event happening at the Discovery Science Center this Saturday, June 27th (which just so happens to be my birthday, in case you were wondering). Anyway, THIS event sounds like it's going to be awesome...

What makes clowns such talented jugglers, unicyclers and stilt walkers? Is it the big red nose? Nope! Believe it or not, it's an understanding of basic science principles that make them pros at these challenging, wacky stunts!

Runaway with the circus on June 27th as Discovery Science Center and Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey presents Science of the Circus! Each 30-minute presentation will feature circus tricks and stunts along with the scientific principles at play behind each skill. Real circus clowns will demonstrate how these scientific principles play a major role in their performances and enable them to put on unique and thrilling shows.

Think you can master the science of The Greatest Show on Earth? Test your skills at scarf juggling, bubble tricks, and balancing objects during each show!

Show Times are Saturday, June 27th at 11 am, 12:30 pm, 2 pm, & 3:30 pm. & While your at the museum be sure to check out the latest exhibitions: Robots & Us and Smokey Bear & Woodsy Owl: Home Sweet Home.
