Step right up!
Following the opening of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus last month at Coney Island, there’s even more big top action to enjoy in Brooklyn.
From July 26–August 1, the Cole Bros. Circus of the Stars comes to Aviator Sports and Events Center at Floyd Bennett Field.
Under the Big Top, your kids will be thrilled by the sight of exotic animals, including larger-than-life elephants, Royal Bengal tigers, camels, zebras, and even llamas. On the human front, daredevil performers include Guatemala’s Angels of the Air, flying trapeze artists, and laughs from the Bermudez Troupe’s clown escapades.
It all leads up to the big finale – intrepid motorcycle riders who brave the Globe of Death and defy gravity with their riding skills, and the Human Cannonball, who’ll fly over head at 65 miles per hour.
Come early, and your kids can enjoy camel and pony rides one hour before the lights go down. Make sure to bring the camera!
