the ringling

这是个令人印象深刻的地方,有三处有趣的博物馆——马戏博物馆,约翰和梅布尔的家,以及一个艺术博物馆。全部三处都很值得一看。周围的景观保护的很好。所有的博物馆都有空调,令人感觉很舒适。

先得澄清,那不仅仅是个博物馆而已。那是一个复合式建筑,有花园,马戏团陈列馆和艺术馆。马戏馆不大,但是有展出当时运来运送动物,表演家和工作人员的车,对马戏迷来说,看这些就非常好玩了。John和Mable的房间非常漂亮,有一个露台可以欣赏到萨拉索塔湾的仿文艺复兴风格的景致。在花园里散步,特别是天气凉爽的时候,完全就是一种享受。还有,博物馆是照佛罗伦萨风格建立的,有很多仿制品,其中有大卫雕像。美术馆很大,里面有各种各样文艺复兴时期的绘画作品。

这个马戏团博物馆本身就值得门票钱。这里有太多的东西可看,即便你不是很喜欢马戏,可看的东西太多了。这里的高潮部分是霍华德马戏团的模型。这里的艺术博物馆也很好,林林班的房子也很好。多花一些钱完整游览这个房子也是值得的。我们几年前来过,喜欢这里。现在来能看到的东西更多。小贴士:如果你想要游览一天以上,多花62元就能升级到三天的通票(我就没有注意到这一点!!)

除了海滩,润格林艺术博物馆是萨拉索塔最好的景点。我们觉得一个小城市能拥有这么宝贵的资源真的是太幸运了。这里给大家分享点东西。成年人参观的话,博物馆有着精彩的巴洛克艺术,大厦反映了二十世纪二十年代时期的高品质生活。(不要错过了参观私人空间之旅,那可以带你参观卧室和塔顶。)对于各个年龄段的孩子的话,不要错过了Tibbals 大楼里的小型马戏团。你会发现这里非常棒。这里非常大,不过如果你不想走的话,这里有定点的电车服务,你可以乘坐到想去的地方。要看完这里,得花上差不多一天的时间。如果在参观的时候饿了或者渴了,可以在游客中心的特雷维索店停下来吃点东西,喝点酒。

适合各个年龄段和各种艺术品位的的朋友。不晓得Ca d'Zan和马戏团博物馆是不是这个艺术博物馆的一部分,不管怎么说,三个地方都值得一看。

The Ringling is worth visiting. The grounds were spectacular. It was covered in Banyon trees. You can take a nice stroll along their pathways that take you through gardens and the trees. There are restaurants and even a Starbucks. The museum part was really cool. They have a miniature circus area that shows how extensive the set up and take down is for a traveling circus. It was so cool to see how detailed the replica was. I spent most of my time in there. They had some interactive areas which were neat. And if you are into art, you can tour the main house which has an extensive collection of fine art. So glad I visited this attraction. Totally recommend this to anyone!!

Went from 11 to 5 and only got to see half. Amazing circus museum with a model that took 50 years to build. Posters, films, railcar, more. Also saw the Ca D'Zan, John and Mabel Ringling's mansion in the Venetian style right on the water. amazing. Did nto even have time to see the art museum or see a show in the Asolo theater, also supposed to be special. Can't wait to go back.

I was a little skeptical about visiting this museum but, after reading previous reviews, decided to go. I am so glad that I did. My 10 year old daughter and I loved the beautiful grounds including the rose garden and playground. I wager that the circus museum would be interesting to anyone who visits. Don't miss the miniature circus in the learning center.

Enjoy this fantastic Fine Arts Museum and walk the grounds for an outstanding experience Have lunch at the cafe

There is a lot to see here! There is an art museum, a circus museum, the Ringling Mansion (Ca d'Zan) and large grounds and gardens. We saw only the circus museum and the mansion. Both were fabulous and very interesting. Well worth a visit. Will have to see the art museum next time!

Circus museum has a "to-scale" miniature circus in motion that is phenomenal...thanks to Howard Tibbals, local visionary who built it. You will not see anything like this anywhere. Ca'd'zan is gorgeous, right on the bay. Museum owns incredible Rubens as well as other Masters and super rotating exhibits. Courtyard is surprising in breadth and depth. Teviso is consistently good for lunch. Rose gardens, banyans, and other flora throughout are a delight to the eyes. Fun, informative for all ages and stages.

John Ringling's art nearly was lost to bankruptcy at the end of his life. The entrepreneur did everything in his power to keep them together, and what a magnificent collection he had! You can get lost in a single room. Definitely worth the entrance fee. Treviso is a great little restaurant as well.

I have heard of this place for years. On this latest trip to the Sarasota area we visited the Mansion and the Circus Museum. What a great place. Very comprehensive and interesting. We actually ran out of time and plan to go back next year. Never realized all the effort that it took to transport, set up, feed, etc.

We were really going to the Ringling property to see the Ca d'Zan Mansion. But we got sidetracked into the Circus museum and it was lots of fun - the costumes, the circus stories, and a great model of what life was like when when the circus came to town. Very nice

We had fun in the Museum learning about circus history. There were many opportunities to take pictures and interact with some of the exhibits. We opted to take the guided tour of Ca'dZon rather than the free self guided tour, The guided tour allowed you to go up to the second floor and was more meaningful than just walking through. Lines for the free tour were very long with people waiting a long time to get in. All tours are timed but you can purchase tickets for guided tour once you are already inside. There is also a movie about John Ringling you can watch. For those who can not do a lot of walking there is a trolley to take you from one site to another. We really could have used more time since we were not able to go to the art museum. It is possible to purchase multiple day passes if you can.
