Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents BUILT TO AMAZE

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents BUILT TO AMAZE is coming to the Amway Center in Orlando FL on January 10-13, 2013.  Elephants, tigers, acrobats and aerialists join together from across the globe, each a spectacular piece of the puzzle, forming one exquisite design of magnificence and precision. From the blueprints to the band, from the crates to the clowns, from the hammer to the high wire comes one breathtaking performance of non-stop thrills so astonishing you have to see it to believe it.

Arrive one hour early to meet the performers, try on costumes and learn circus skills at the All Access Pre-show – FREE to all ticket holders!  One year Kaley was picked to be part of the preshow magic act and got to keep the teddy bear from the act.  She still has it 8 year later !!!
