— -- Elephants, death-defying acts and of course, clowns.

As a child, there’s nothing like seeing the spectacle that is the circus. Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey have been in the circus business for over 144 years, and even though it has faced controversy in recent years from animal rights groups, it's still one of the biggest and most popular circuses in the world.

The Greatest Show on Earth’s Circus Xtreme is in the midst of a multi-year tour and features over 100 performers from 13 different countries, five Asian elephants, six twin-humped camels, 16 Bengal tigers and 16 poodles. While it might be harder as an adult to be wowed, maybe looking at the circus a little differently will help you feel like a child again.
