About the Location
Circus World is a historic site located in the place the Ringling Bros. Circus called home from 1884-1918. The property features seven National Historic Landmark structures featuring dynamic displays documenting the sensational, distinctive, and acclaimed achievements of the American circus. The winter quarters alone are the largest, oldest group of 19th and 20th century circus structures in the nation. While Circus World opened in 1959 with a handful of artifacts, two buildings, six wagons, and less than an acre of land, the site today showcases a mammoth collection curated in the world’s largest circus library and research center, with over 260 circus wagons and vehicles, 30 buildings, and 64 of acres of explorable land.
